Buy PCB Pins in Bulk | Manufacturer

Common PCB pin types include press-fit pins, solid contact pins, grooved pins, barbed pins, hinge pins, die-rolled pins, and PCB connector pins. Each type differs in retention method and form factor. Retention features such as star, spline/tabs, inscribed square, and flat profiles determine anti-rotation performance and pull-out resistance in through-hole or press-fit applications.

Electropin manufactures PCB pins from lead-free brass and stainless steel. Both materials are selected to meet REACH and RoHS compliance requirements without requiring leaded brass. Material choice depends on the application's conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength requirements — Electropin's engineering team can help specify the right option for your design.

Electropin specializes in bulk custom pin production. Pricing and minimum order quantities are available on request. The first production batch can be delivered in as little as two weeks, with subsequent batches scheduled on a timeline that works for your operations. Contact Electropin to discuss volume requirements and lead times for your specific program.

Electropin offers four retention feature profiles: Star, Tabs/Spline, Inscribed Square, and Flat. The star feature provides up to 50% greater diameter than the wire raw material, offering high retention and anti-rotation strength. Each retention profile is suited to specific mounting methods — through-hole PCB, press-fit into metal, or post-insertion into molded plastic.

Yes. Electropin provides full Design for Manufacturing (DFM) consultation and custom pin design collaboration. Their engineering team works with customers to refine specifications, create custom die molds, and optimize designs for their automatic die rolling process. Custom pins can be produced at up to 5 pins per second with no sacrifice in dimensional accuracy or quality.

Yes. All Electropin PCB pins are manufactured using lead-free materials, which eliminates the need for leaded brass and removes compliance thresholds under both REACH and RoHS regulations. This makes them suitable for use in medical devices, automotive connectors, consumer electronics, and other regulated end markets without additional compliance engineering on the customer's side.
