Connector Pins Manufacturer in Ohio

Electropin achieves an industry-leading defect rate of just 1 in 600,000,000 pins. Because cold-forming tools don't dull or generate heat the way cutting tools do, quality remains perfectly consistent from the very first pin produced to the one-millionth pin, with no degradation over the production run.

Yes. All Electropin connector pins are manufactured using lead-free materials — primarily lead-free brass and stainless steel — which eliminates the regulatory concerns associated with REACH and RoHS compliance limits. Unlike machined parts, Electropin's cold-forming process does not require leaded brass, making compliance straightforward.

Electropin offers connector pins in lead-free brass, stainless steel, and other metals depending on application requirements. Soft brass is ideal for standard electrical contact applications, while hard stainless steel suits demanding mechanical or medical environments. All materials used are lead-free, supporting full REACH and RoHS compliance.

Electropin's cold-formed pins support multiple retention features including Star, Tabs (Spline), Inscribed Square, and Flat configurations. The Star feature can achieve a diameter approximately 50% greater than the raw wire material, providing strong press-fit retention in plastic, metal, and PCB applications without requiring adhesives or secondary operations.

Electropin can begin manufacturing and deliver a first batch of custom connector pins in as little as two weeks when raw materials are available. Subsequent batches are delivered on the customer-specified timeline, and production volume can be scaled dramatically to accommodate changing demand without significant retooling delays.

Electropin's connector pins are used across automotive, farm equipment, medical devices, computer and electronics, and circuit board manufacturing industries. Mounting methods include through-hole PCB mounting, press-fit into metal parts, post-insertion into molded plastic parts, and high-speed automation applications — making them adaptable to a wide range of engineering environments.
