At our facility, we specialize in custom metal and plastic components. This case study highlights our ability to provide high-precision metal stamping for connector terminals, while also offering injection molding for protective connector housings, providing customers with a complete solution under one roof.
Our client, a manufacturer of electronic connectors for automotive and industrial applications, required a reliable supplier for custom-stamped terminal components that could meet tight tolerances and perform consistently in demanding environments. Additionally, they were seeking a partner capable of producing the injection-molded plastic housings that would protect and align these terminals.
The project presented several key challenges:
Producing ultra-thin metal terminals with precise geometries for efficient electrical conductivity.
Ensuring tight tolerances for reliable fit and function within connector systems.
Coordinating with downstream injection molding of the connector housing to streamline assembly and ensure component compatibility.
We provided an integrated solution, combining:
Custom Metal Stamping: Using progressive dies and high-speed stamping presses, we manufactured terminals from copper alloy and stainless steel to achieve high conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Precision Tooling: Designed and maintained in-house to control dimensional accuracy and minimize variation.
Connector Housing Molding: Our in-house injection molding capabilities allowed for seamless production of the plastic shells that encapsulate and align the stamped terminals.
Quality Control: Vision inspection systems and pin insertion tests ensured that each terminal met performance requirements.
Reliable Performance: Terminals met all electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling stable signal transmission.
Reduced Lead Time: By combining metal stamping and injection molding in one facility, we shortened production cycles and minimized logistics.
Cost Savings: Tooling integration and vertical production reduced handling costs and waste.
Customer Satisfaction: Client was able to scale production quickly with consistent quality.
This case illustrates our strength in metal stamping for connector terminals, while offering end-to-end capabilities through plastic injection molding. As a one-stop solution provider for custom metal and plastic parts, we empower our customers to build better products, faster and more efficiently.
