Four ways to show us the part

Send the clearest information you have; we can identify what is still missing.

Application descriptionExplain where the part is used and what needs to be sourced, reproduced, or improved.

Product photoShow the current part and the features that matter in production.

Physical sampleUse the sample to discuss structure, material, finish, and process.

DrawingShare the latest version when dimensions and requirements are available.

Capacity for contact pieces and assemblies.

Monthly supply capability: up to 40 million contact pieces and 30 million contact assemblies.

Actual output depends on product mix, material availability, tooling, inspection, and production scheduling.

Production MOQConfirmed for the part and production arrangement

MOQ depends on the part, material, tooling and production arrangement. Samples and trial quantities are assessed separately. With sufficient drawings or specifications, we can quote before sampling; any required validation is agreed for the project and completed before mass production.

Move from drawing or sample to repeat production.

We quote from the available part details, arrange any required validation, and prepare for repeat production.

01
Send the part details
Tell us what the part does, where it is used, and what you need to source, reproduce, or improve.
02
Confirm feasibility
We review the part, application and key requirements, and quote from sufficient drawings or specifications.
03
Select material and construction
Confirm the contact material, geometry, finish, and assembly features.
04
Develop samples when needed
Where sampling is needed, make the sample using the selected forming, stamping or joining process.
05
Complete the required validation
Complete any sample or process validation agreed for the project before mass production.
06
Approve for production
After written approval, repeat production follows the agreed specification and checks.

An application description, photo, physical sample or drawing can start the discussion. We will help identify the next steps for your part.

Define inspection before production.

We confirm the dimensional, visual, batch, and application-specific checks used for the part before repeat production.

Inspection pointsWe agree the dimensional, visual and batch checks for your part.

Records by batchWe record inspection results against the approved specification and batch.

External testing when neededWe coordinate external tests for the specified material, purpose and scope.

Material composition, regulatory, metallographic, or application-specific tests can be arranged with qualified third-party laboratories when required for the part or application.

Inspection for Your Part

1Key dimensions and visual condition
2Silver-layer checks where specified
3Agreed acceptance criteria and batch records

Inspection methods suited to the part.

Silver-layer measurementImage measurement

Image-based measurement for specified silver-layer checks.

Dimensional and surface checksCCD inspection

CCD inspection can support dimensional checks and silver-surface copper-exposure checks when they are included in the inspection plan.

Measurement requirementsConfirmed before inspection

Calibration, measurement uncertainty, acceptance criteria, and report format are confirmed when the part or customer specification requires them.

Sample Inspection and Documentation

We agree the sample documentation with you based on the drawing and inspection plan. Depending on the part, it may include:

Dimensional and visual inspection results against the agreed specification
Base-material and surface-condition identification
Silver-layer checks when specified for the part
Material-batch or supplier documentation when required and available
Additional third-party testing arranged with a qualified laboratory when required for the part or application

Send the part information you have.

We will confirm what is needed for feasibility, sampling, inspection, and quotation.
