I'm sorry to have caused a fuss. They way I see it now, my mistake early on was to not realize that pogo pins are meant to be used with pogo sockets.
The pins are smooth so to counter the spring pressure, they need to be supported at the bottom end. My plan was to have a plate with holes drilled half way to support these pin bottoms, but this plate would not be able to make the electrical connection as is often done if the pins are set in Vero board at .1" spacing. One option I was considering was to use a through-board header connector. The pin would slide through a top plate, then through the header connector, and finally bottom out in the bottom plate. I could solder wires to the header connector pins. These problems went away when I was informed about the sockets. Socket: http://www.ectinfo.com/en/product/default.cfm?sku=117 Pin: http://www.upgradeindustries.com/media/img/products/crown_350.jpg The pin is supported by the socket. The socket is supported through its ring shank, which is fixed by a hole in a single thick plate. The wire connection is with a solder cup or wire wrap pin on the socket's bottom. I can use any pin pattern with .1" spacing or larger. (here is a higher density example: http://www.ectinfo.com/fsg/category/default_product.cfm?doc=ZOOM ) I'll post pictures when I get the bits assembled.
