How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical extremity or the highest point of an object or structure. It is more formal than simply using 頭 or 頂, which are preferred in casual speech for everyday items like a pen or a hat. When discussing abstract concepts like technology or status, it often appears in compound nouns to denote peak performance or quality.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for the top of a person's head, where 頭頂 is the standard term. Using 頂端 for body parts sounds unnatural and overly clinical.
