          Abstract

          A spring-loaded pogo pin as a holding and release mechanism of solar panels for cube satellite applications is proposed which functions as an electrical interface, a separation spring, and a status switch. The proposed mechanism has many advantages, including an increased loading capability, negligible induced shock level, synchronous release of multiple panels, and handling simplicity during integration. A demonstration model of the mechanism was fabricated and functionally tested under various test conditions such as different input voltages, different numbers of tightened nylon wires, and different temperatures (ranging from −40°C to 70°C).
