Care & Maintenance

The PCB gold pads that the pogo pins on the connector make contact with can become dirty or oxidized over time. This may cause the board to malfunction or even intermittent failures to power up. Occasionally cleaning the contacts on both surfaces (pins and PCB pads) with alcohol and a cotton swab will help to ensure a reliable connection and reduce the risk of malfunction.
