A small thing of great beauty

I recently ordered some 3mm Pogo Pins from China

… a small packet arrived yesterday, delivered ‘Tracked 48’ by Royal Mail

Feast your eyes on this little beauty:

That this can be done so readily says a lot about mass-production, global-trading, and such

So you will be out on your Pogo stick this weekend!

I used these from Farnell on a recent project. They are intended for surface mounting but I pressed them in to 1.5mm holes in 1.5mm thick fibreglass PCB.

Picture from website because I cannot find the ones I had left over
