Electropin's connector 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 variants also support high-speed automation applications where pins slide down tracks without requiring specific orientation.

Yes. Electropin manufactures lead-free pins using lead-free brass and stainless steel, which eliminates REACH and RoHS compliance concerns entirely. Unlike machined parts that require leaded brass, Electropin's cold-forming process produces fully compliant parts without additional processing steps or material substitutions.

When raw materials are available, Electropin can begin manufacturing and deliver the first batch of cold-formed pins in as little as two weeks. Subsequent batches are delivered on a customer-specified timeline, and production capacity can be dramatically scaled up when volume requirements increase.

Electropin's automatic die rolling process achieves an industry-leading defect rate of just 1 in 600,000,000 pins. Because the process involves no cutting and tools do not dull, pin geometry remains consistent from the very first part to the millionth part — eliminating the quality drift common in machined pin production.

Electropin offers four retention feature options: star, tabs/spline, inscribed square, and flat. The star feature can achieve a diameter up to 50% greater than the wire raw material, providing high retention and anti-rotation strength. The appropriate feature depends on the substrate material — metal or plastic — and the required pull-out force.

Yes. Electropin provides Design for Manufacturing (DFM) consultation, custom pin design refinement, and collaborative engineering support. Their team, led by owner Keith Brenton who has over 35 years of experience, works directly with customers to optimize pin geometry for manufacturing efficiency, performance requirements, and cost reduction.
