Correctly Replacing Carbon Composite Resistive
Pogo-Pin Tips in Dxx05-PT
Keep the following in mind regarding Pogo Pin tips replacement, care, and use:
The Pogo-Pin Tip pair must have a matched resistive value. If one breaks, and the
replacement has a different resistive value (likely if they are from different lots), then the pair
must be replaced . See
Setting Matched Replacement Pogo-Pin Tip Ω Values Using the
Dxx05-PT Pogo-Pin Replacement Software Utility
section for details.
Don't remove your Pogo Pin tips from the socket for non-use or storage. Only remove them
when replacement is necessary.
Never use probe tips as scraping tools.
New carbon fiber tip technology enables low-loading, high-bandwidth measurements. Do not
over compress.
When applying probe to test points only use light pressure. Take care not to apply pressure
exceeding throw of precision pogos.
Occasionally check the overall resistance of the center conductor on the small solder mount push-on
(SSMP) to the tip itself. The side to side resistance should be within 30 Ω of each other.
