What is the effect of spring thimble load work? So how to maintain it?

　　Spring thimble is widely used in electrical connection and signal transmission. Common applications include smart terminals, consumer electronics, smart wearables, shared devices, drones, and smart robots. Today, I will briefly introduce the difference between the working height and stroke of the spring thimble and what should be paid attention to in the application. What is the effect of load work? And how to extend its service life?

　　The spring thimble consists of a needle, a spring, and a needle tube plus plastic. The working height of the spring thimble refers to the height of the spring thimble when the product is in use; the stroke of the spring thimble refers to the range of movement of the spring thimble needle, which is the retractable distance of the spring thimble needle.

　　What is the effect of spring thimble load work?

　　In normal use, the working height of the spring thimble is less than the stroke of the spring thimble. If the full-load stroke is working, the spring of the spring thimble will be compressed excessively, which will affect the service life of the spring thimble, thereby shortening the life of the product.

　　How to extend the service life of spring thimble

　　Attention should also be paid to some problems during use, so as to better extend the life of the connector. The battery contacts or FPC golden fingers that are paired with the connector should not be dirty, oxidized, etc., residual sealing liquid, and other dirt residues. To ensure that the surface is clean and tidy.

　　When moving or moving, avoid contacting the connector with hard objects to avoid scratching the connector. When stacking the product, do not place it under heavy objects to avoid crushing the connector.

　　In the usual storage process, you must ensure that the room has a suitable temperature and humidity. Excessive temperature or humidity will have a certain impact on it, and do not store the pogo pin together with some chemical products, which may cause damage to it. There is a certain degree of corrosion, so that the outer surface layer loses its protective measures, causing certain damages and affecting functional use.
