Selection guidance - match pins to the application

Choosing the right wholesale test pins depends on signal type, expected insertion cycles, contact force and board layout. Below are practical tips used by South African labs and production teams.

Quick selection checklist

• For high-cycle bed-of-nails: choose hardened tips with higher rated cycles and low contact resistance.
• For delicate SMT pads: select smaller diameter, lower contact force probes to avoid damage.
• For power testing: verify current rating and consider multiple contact points or dedicated power probes.
• For handheld fixtures or prototypes: use removable spring probes with standard header mounts for quick swaps.
