EV Connector Pins Wholesale | Cold-Formed Lead-Free | Manufacturer

Yes. Because Electropin uses lead-free materials through its cold-forming process, the pins do not require leaded brass — unlike traditionally machined parts. This eliminates REACH and RoHS compliance concerns entirely, making them suitable for regulated industries including automotive, medical devices, and consumer electronics.

Electropin does not publish a fixed minimum order quantity. Lead times are project-dependent, but the first batch of cold-formed pins can be delivered in as little as two weeks when raw materials are available. Subsequent batches are delivered on a customer-specified timeline, and production can be scaled dramatically as demand changes.

Electropin connector pins support press-fit into metal, through-hole PCB mounting, and post-insertion into molded plastic parts. Select product lines also support high-speed automation applications where pins slide down tracks without orientation. The optimal mounting method is determined during Design for Manufacturing (DFM) consultation.

Available retention features include Star, Tabs/Spline, Inscribed Square, and Flat profiles. The star feature can expand the pin diameter up to 50% beyond the wire raw material diameter, providing high retention strength and anti-rotation performance in both plastic and metal assemblies.

Electropin supplies custom connector pins to the automotive, farm equipment, computer and electronics, medical device, and circuit board assembly industries. Pins are used in connector housings, PCB through-hole mounting, molded plastic post-insertion, and metal press-fit applications across all these sectors.

Cold-forming uses automatic die rolling to shape pins from wire without cutting, generating zero scrap and no heat. Unlike machining, the dies do not dull over time, so part quality is consistent from pin one to pin one million. This results in faster production — up to 5 pins per second — lower cost, and a defect rate of just 1 in 600,000,000.
