Areas of Consideration

Pogo Pins

The signal travels on the outside of the structure, increasing signal path length and distortion.

Many component parts mean more points of potential failure.

Spring Probes

Known to be a somewhat expensive approach.  

Often a longer contact height than is optimal.  

Have a very complex structure meaning more potential points of failure.

Hyperboloid SuperButton®

Challenging to assemble into carriers.  Component wires sometimes separate from body during usage.  
Size is limited to larger pitch/pad configurations.  

Not intended for high mating cycle applications.

Solder

Fragile in harsh environments such as shock, vibration and high temperatures, prone to cracking.  
Precision placement equipment is very expensive.  
Very difficult to remove for part replacement.

 Often not RoHS compliant due to lead content contamination..

Fuzz Buttons®

Signal travels via shortest path within the Fuzz Button® structure;

diminishing distortion, resistance and inductance.  

Simple single piece architecture means a more reliable contact.  

When used in conjunction with Hardhats, high mating cycles can be achieved with little signal degradation.

 Always Lead-Free and RoHS.
