Construction and supply options.

01

Contact blades and supports

Contact blades provide a working or moving contact interface; carriers locate and support an attached contact. Supply either as a stamped part or as part of a riveted, welded or brazed assembly.

02

Terminals and conductive links

Terminals form the electrical connection interface; conductive bars and links carry current between assembly positions. Define their holes, bends, locating tabs, material grade, temper and section thickness together.

03

Base material and finish

Confirm the base material and required surface condition, such as bare copper, silver plating, or a specified silver contact feature.

04

Sampling and repeat supply

Tooling, sample cost and the production specification are confirmed for the particular part. Sample and production quantities are assessed separately.

Stamped-part dimensions

Confirm the base material, thickness, blank profile, holes, bends, and surface condition before tooling.

  • Base material, thickness, and temper where specified
  • Blank profile, hole pattern, bend features, and formed geometry
  • Key dimensions, hole spacing, bend angles, and specified tolerances
  • Surface condition and any riveted or welded assembly relationship

Manufacturing & Inspection

Manufacturing

The required features and assembly interface determine the stamping and forming route.

  • Punching and blanking
  • Bending and drawing where required
  • Coining, embossing, or tapping where required
  • Integrated riveting or welding where the part is supplied as an assembly

Inspection

Checks focus on the functional features that make the stamped part repeatable in the target assembly.

  • Blank profile, holes, bends, and critical dimensions
  • Visual condition and surface condition
  • Dimensional consistency for specified features
  • Strength or assembly-related checks where specified

Before you request a sample

Can I order a stamped part separately from a contact assembly?

Yes. Contact blades, terminals, conductive bars and supports can be supplied as individual stamped parts. A carrier can also be supplied as part of a riveted or welded contact assembly. Specify which finished part or assembly you need so the quotation covers the correct scope.

Which material and geometry details do you need?

Send the material grade and temper, thickness, outline, hole locations, bends and critical assembly dimensions. A drawing is useful, but a photo, physical sample or application description can start the review. Final dimensions and tolerances are agreed before production.

How should I specify the surface condition?

State whether the part needs bare copper, silver plating or a specified silver contact feature, and identify the areas and acceptance requirements involved. The base material, surface condition and any later joining operation are reviewed together for your part.

Are tooling and samples included in the unit price?

We specify tooling, sample charges and any special work separately in the project quotation. Share the trial and production quantities so we can define the sampling scope and quotation basis.

Sample and quote

Share the base material, thickness, bends, holes, surface condition, drawing, or sample before production. Include the drawing or sample reference, expected quantity, and required timing. With sufficient drawings or specifications, we can prepare a quotation before sampling. Any sample or process validation required for the project is agreed and completed before mass production.
