Connector Pins Manufacturer in New York

Electropin produces connector pins in lead-free brass, stainless steel, and other metals. Lead-free brass offers excellent electrical conductivity and formability, while stainless steel provides superior hardness and corrosion resistance. Both options are REACH and RoHS compliant, eliminating concerns about hazardous substance regulations in automotive, medical, and electronics applications.

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 production batches are scheduled on a customer-specified timeline, and output can be scaled dramatically — up to 5 pins per second — when demand increases.

Yes. Because Electropin's cold-forming process does not require leaded brass — unlike traditional machined pin manufacturing — all lead-free parts are fully REACH and RoHS compliant. This removes the regulatory burden from customers in the automotive, medical device, and electronics sectors who must meet EU and international chemical restriction standards.

Electropin offers four retention feature types: Star, Tabs (Spline), Inscribed Square, and Flat. The Star feature can expand pin diameter up to 50% greater than the original wire diameter, providing high retention strength. Tabs and inscribed square profiles deliver strong anti-rotation properties, making them ideal for through-hole PCB, press-fit metal, and post-insertion plastic applications.

Electropin's custom connector pins are used across automotive connectors, farm equipment electrical systems, computer and consumer electronics connectors, medical device connectors, and PCB/circuit board assemblies. Mounting methods include through-hole PCB mounting, press-fit into metal parts, and post-insertion into molded plastic housings, covering a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Yes. Electropin provides Design for Manufacturing (DFM) consultations with experienced engineers, custom pin design refinement services, and collaborative engineering support throughout the development process. With over 35 years of hands-on expertise, Keith Brenton and his team work directly with customers to optimize pin geometry, retention features, and material selection for their specific performance requirements.
