High Current Probe Pins | Manufacturer

Electropin manufactures pins in lead-free brass and stainless steel. Both materials are available across all pin types, including solid contact, PCB connector, press-fit, grooved, barbed, knurled, hinge, dowel, and gauge stop pins. Lead-free materials eliminate REACH and RoHS compliance concerns for customers in regulated industries.

Yes. Because Electropin uses lead-free brass and other lead-free materials in its cold-forming process, all pins are fully REACH and RoHS compliant. Unlike machined pins that require leaded brass for machinability, Electropin's die-rolling process works without lead, removing regulatory risk for automotive, medical, and electronics customers.

Electropin offers four retention feature options: Star, Tabs (Spline), Inscribed Square, and Flat. The star feature can expand the effective diameter of a pin by approximately 50% beyond the wire raw material diameter, providing strong anti-rotation and high retention strength in plastic and metal housings.

Electropin's pins support three primary mounting methods: press-fit into metal, through-hole PCB mounting, and post-insertion into molded plastic parts. Select grooved and hinge pin designs also support high-speed automation applications where pins must slide down tracks without requiring orientation.

When raw materials are available, Electropin can begin manufacturing and deliver a first batch of custom pins in as little as two weeks. Subsequent batches are delivered on the customer's specified timeline. Production volume can be scaled dramatically to accommodate changing demand without compromising quality or lead times.

Electropin's connector and probe pins are used across automotive connectors, medical devices, farm equipment, computer and consumer electronics, and PCB circuit board assemblies. The company has served diverse industries since 1943, evolving from fluorescent lightbulb pins to a full range of custom contact pins for demanding applications.
