Pogo-Pin PCB Design and Manufacturing
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
At this moment we have test jigs that have 3 identical PCB’s in it. On each PCB there are two rows of 12 pogo pins wired to a connector on the far end of the PCB. The middle PCB has all pogo pins mounted. The two other PCB’s have only half of them.
We have a Gerber file that gives information about current position of components, size and shape, and some pdf files with schematics. The files are created using PADS (not the professional version).
In the test jig we can place 6 test units. Each test unit has two contacts on the top and two on the bottom. When the frame is closed we have two pogo pins making contact with each test unit. By measuring the connection between the two pogo pins we can verify if they make proper contact.
The problem is that we now disconnect the cable on the far end of the display and we connect a test device. But these connectors are not very suitable to take them off every time. So instead of these wired connectors we want to apply standard headers. A straight one just outside the frame and a 90 degrees angled one a bit further away.
On each header we first plug a test PCB with some leds to quickly test the pogo pin connections. Then we replace this PCB with another PCB that has two wires to the main PCB, these can be soldered.
So we need a new design for the pogo-pin PCB, including some LEDs and resistors.
Request:
We need several dozens of small PCBs that have just a female header and two wires.
A new main PCB that has a 10 pole flat cable connector on it and 8 holes for cables, the old PCB had two 16 pole connectors on.
