Connector Pins Manufacturer in North Carolina

Electropin's cold-forming (automatic die rolling) process eliminates cutting waste entirely, meaning all raw material becomes finished pins with zero scrap. Unlike machined alternatives, there is no tool dulling, which contributes to an industry-leading defect rate of just 1 in 600,000,000 pins. This zero-waste process also reduces cost per pin significantly compared to traditional machining methods.

Yes. Electropin uses lead-free materials and cold-forming manufacturing, so their pins do not require leaded brass — unlike machined alternatives. This eliminates regulatory limits under both REACH and RoHS directives, simplifying compliance for automotive, medical, and electronics applications.

Electropin's production line runs at speeds of up to 5 pins per second. When raw materials are available, Electropin can begin manufacturing and deliver a first batch of cold-formed pins in as little as two weeks. Subsequent batches are delivered on a customer-specified timeline, and production volume can be scaled dramatically when demand changes.

Electropin offers four retention feature options: Star, Tabs (Spline), Inscribed Square, and Flat. The star feature can achieve up to 50% greater diameter than the wire raw material, providing high anti-rotation and retention strength in press-fit metal and post-insertion plastic applications.

Electropin serves the automotive, farm equipment, computer and electronics, medical device, and circuit board manufacturing industries. Their pins are used in connector applications, through-hole PCB assemblies, molded plastic part post-insertion, and metal press-fit applications across all these sectors.

Electropin connector pins support through-hole PCB mounting, press-fit into metal parts, and post-insertion into molded plastic parts. Select grooved and hinge pin designs also support high-speed automation track feeding, where pins slide without requiring orientation during assembly.

Electropin offers connector pins in lead-free brass and stainless steel. Lead-free brass provides excellent conductivity and formability, while stainless steel delivers greater hardness and corrosion resistance. Both materials are available without leaded alloys, eliminating REACH and RoHS compliance concerns for your assembly.
