Crimped Contact Pins | High-Speed Cold-Form | Precision Manufacturer

Electropin offers pins in lead-free brass and stainless steel as standard options, with other metals available upon request. All materials are selected to meet REACH and RoHS compliance requirements, eliminating the need for leaded brass that is commonly required in conventional machined pin manufacturing.

Available retention features include Star, Tabs/Spline, Inscribed Square, and Flat configurations. These provide anti-rotation and high pull-out retention strength for press-fit, through-hole PCB, and post-insertion plastic applications. The Star feature can achieve a diameter approximately 50% greater than the source wire diameter.

Yes. Because Electropin's cold-forming process does not require leaded brass — unlike conventional machined pins — all standard products are produced lead-free, fully satisfying REACH and RoHS regulatory requirements without additional compliance effort or documentation burden for customers.

Electropin achieves an industry-leading defect rate of just 1 in 600,000,000 pins. Because cold-form dies do not dull over time, dimensional accuracy is maintained throughout the entire production run, from the very first pin produced to the millionth, with no degradation in quality.

When raw materials are available, Electropin can begin manufacturing and deliver a first batch in as little as two weeks. Subsequent batches are delivered on a customer-specified timeline. Production capacity can also be dramatically scaled up to accommodate demand increases without lead time penalties.

Electropin's cold-formed contact pins serve automotive, medical device, farm equipment, computer and consumer electronics, and circuit board manufacturing industries. Common applications include connector pins, PCB through-hole mounting, press-fit into metal, and post-insertion into molded plastic housings.
