Where to buy pogo pins?

[mroneeyedboh]

I havent seen a specific thread on this yet but here it goes, where are people getting pogo pins at? I dont think using guitar strings, screw etc are a good idea for the charging docks people are making. I know the pitch is 3.0mm ( if you go with a pod style, 3 pogos molded together ). But I dont know the depth the pins have to be pushed in at. None the less, where have people been getting their pins at?

wtf are pogo pins?

Want to enlighten me on what they are?

Look on the edge of your phone. You see those gold contacts? That is used for charging and I think also used for audio too. The pogo pins are a spring loaded contact that depresses when the phone is set on the contacts. Google pogo pins, hell look in our accessories section here to see a few examples.

I ordered these. It took a month to get here. I just got them yesterday & I haven't had time to rig them up yet - I got an extended battery, so now I have to redo my cradle before I hook up the pins.
