Connector Pins with Retention Features | Cold-Formed | Supplier

Electropin manufactures connector pins in lead-free brass and stainless steel. Lead-free brass offers excellent conductivity and formability, while stainless steel provides superior strength and corrosion resistance. Lead-free options eliminate REACH and RoHS compliance concerns, making them suitable for regulated industries like automotive and medical devices.

Electropin's cold-formed pins support three primary mounting methods: press-fit into metal, through-hole PCB mounting, and post-insertion into molded plastic parts. Certain pin types, including grooved and hinge pins, are also engineered for high-speed automation assembly lines where orientation-free track feeding is required.

Electropin's automatic die rolling process achieves a defect rate of just 1 in 600,000,000 pins. Unlike machined pins where tooling dulls over time and introduces dimensional variation, cold-forming tools do not dull or generate heat, ensuring identical quality from the first pin to the millionth pin in any production run.

Electropin's cold-formed connector pins are used across automotive, farm equipment, medical devices, computers and electronics, and PCB/circuit board manufacturing. All pin types are available in lead-free materials, making them suitable for highly regulated sectors including medical devices and automotive electronics that require REACH and RoHS compliance.

Electropin can begin manufacturing custom connector pins in as little as two weeks from order confirmation, subject to raw material availability. Production is delivered in batches on a timeline agreed upon with the customer, and output can be dramatically scaled up when demand increases without sacrificing quality or lead time.

Yes. Electropin provides Design for Manufacturing (DFM) consultations, custom pin design collaboration, and technical engineering support. Their team, led by Keith Brenton with over 35 years of experience, works directly with customers to refine specifications, optimize designs for cold-forming production, and ensure the final part meets all performance requirements.
