For instance, you could use these instead of headers on a AVR programmer board. Then, when you design a board you want to program using that programmer, you don't need to put big old headers onto it, just little pads for these to connect to.</p>

The length of the tip is given as 0.055" in the drawing, but not the diameter. The main body is shown as being 0.040", but I need to know the tip diameter as well so I can determine what hole size to use for my fixture.</p>

They work nicely for programming and test fixtures.</p>

Just finished my first pogo-bed for one of my projects ! It just rocks (received the PCBs from BatchPCB).<br>
These are not easy to solder, you'll need to increase the temp of your solder iron a bit (found it to be soldered much more easily at 390?C with leaded solder, at 320?C I just couldn't solder it to the board properly).<br>
The placing of the pins is a real nightmare, it depends on the spacers you are using, and you want them to be the same height.<br>
I used basic 2.54mm header for the bottom board (where the pogo pins are soldered) and 1.4mm holes in the intermediate board for the head (which is larger than the base).<br>
Connection is reliable (I use it to program a PIC30 chip via a PicKit2 in "programmer to go" mode and run a test in the IOs, monitored by a Saleae Logic). You just need to press the board firmly on the bed.<br>
The whole pogo-bed PCBs cost me less than $30 at BatchPCB including shipping and handling. A few right-angle headers, 8 M3 screws, 4 spacers, and voil? : professional production device !<br>
I will post photos of the bed on my blog soon (<a href="http://www.murmureurs.fr" rel="nofollow">http://www.murmureurs.fr</a> in french ...).<br>

these are definitly very usefull when reprogramming AVRs on items where there is no soldered ICSP header present.</p>
