Row of brass and copper contact pins turned on a CNC lathe, graded Q1 to Q10
Photographed in our plant in Humen, Dongguan

Contact pins look like the simplest part in a product and are usually the one that fails first: the bore, the shoulder and the tip radius all have to sit on the same axis or the pin binds in its sleeve. These are turned from brass and copper alloys on CNC lathes and finished on the same shop floor that cuts our mold plates.

Because the machines and the inspection room are in one building, a first article can be measured on the Hexagon CMM the same day it is cut. Tell us the alloy, the plating you need and the engagement force, and the drawing work is done in the DFM review before a bar is turned.

Typical applications

  • Charging and pogo-pin contacts
  • Terminals and connectors
  • Test fixtures and probes
  • Spacers, bushes and inserts

Specification

What our machining work is held to

The same machines, the same inspection room and the same drawing discipline as the tooling side of the plant.

Standard machining specification — confirmed on your drawing
ProcessesCNC turning, CNC milling, drilling and tapping; wire-cut and EDM for die work
MaterialsAluminium, stainless steel, brass and copper alloys, titanium
Machine accuracyDown to 0.001 mm (Yasoda, OKUMA, GF, Makino)
Part tolerance±0.01 mm on critical features, agreed on the drawing
SurfaceAs machined, bead-blasted or polished; plating and anodising to your spec
InspectionFirst article on the Swiss Hexagon CMM, with a dimensional report
Batch sizePrototype quantities through to production runs
Documentation2D/3D drawings, material certificate, inspection report

Values above are our standard capability for this class of part, not fixed figures for a specific job. Material, finish and the inspection plan are agreed on the drawing before a bar is cut.

Ask for a DFM review and a price for your part

STEP/IGES/X_T files, the resin, your annual volume and target market are enough to get a mold price, a cycle estimate and the risks we can see — usually in 1–2 business days.
