How to install the connector by soldering?
1. The first and easiest way is to use solder paste to fix the connector to the tin plate. While this is the easiest way, we generally don't recommend it.
Generally speaking, this method is less stable, and the probe will break away from the tin plate due to vibration interference and pressure.
2. It is more commonly used to fasten large components to a printed circuit board by inserting a pogo pin into a tail, which is fixed to the printed circuit board by the tail.
In this way, the single needle will have an extra support point and be more stable.
3. The method is to use the rubber core with the tripod, first install it on the circuit board safely, and then install the pogo pins on the tin plate with solder paste or pressure.
This method is suitable for most situations and has a certain degree of stability, but it is recommended to consider the cost issue.
4. Combining the second and third methods, first fix the rubber core on the circuit board, and then attach the pogo pin connector to the tail and fix it on the board.
This is a very safe way to install the connector, and it makes the connector more stable and durable. If you have unlimited cost considerations, I recommend this installation method.
