Abstract
Disclosed is a pogo-pin connector which includes an insulated body, at least one pogo-pin terminal, at least one insulative sleeve, at least one conductive terminal, at least one receiving pedestal and at least one spring part. A pogo-pin terminal slot and a conductive terminal slot are defined through insulated body. Each of the pogo-pin terminals has a top end movably protruded beyond the pogo-pin terminal slot and a bottom end defining a slotted hole toward an inside of the pogo-pin terminal. The insulative sleeve is removably fastened at the bottom end of the pogo-pin terminal. The conductive terminal is disposed within the conductive terminal slot. A receiving pedestal is used to seal the bottom end of the pogo-pin terminal slot. In accordance with the configuration of the insulative sleeve, an arcing effect occurring between the pogo-pin connector and a complementary connector can be avoided.
