ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS

In an era where technology is shrinking while performance expectations are skyrocketing, the "bones" of our devices—the electrical connectors—must evolve. At the heart of every smartphone, medical implant, and aerospace sensor lies a silent hero: a precision-engineered contact ensuring that power and data flow without interruption.

​

With our versatile chemical etching process, we fulfill the electronics industry’s need for custom miniaturized electrical connectors and contacts, delivering high-performance components free from traditional cost and time constraints.

​

What are Electrical Connectors?

Electronic connectors or contacts are conductive metal bridges that link two points to create a complete circuit. They are the essential handshakes between components.

​

As the global demand for smaller, more powerful devices increases, so does the need for precision-made connectors. These components are typically manufactured from highly conductive materials, such as copper alloys or nickel, to ensure the efficient transmission of electrical signals and power. In miniaturized tech, even a microscopic flaw in these bridges can lead to total system failure.

​

The Limitations of Traditional Production

Traditionally, electronic connectors are manufactured using stamping. This method is favored for its speed during massive production runs, but it comes with physical "baggage" that can compromise high-spec electronics:

​

• Mechanical Stress: Stamping is a high-force, contact-based process. This can introduce cutting-edge stress and microscopic deformities that alter the part's performance.

• The Burr Problem: Stamping often leaves behind "burrs"—tiny, unwanted raised edges of metal—which can cause electrical shorts or assembly issues.

• Design Rigidity: Producing intricate, miniaturized designs with tight tolerances is difficult with physical dies.

• High Upfront Costs: Hard tooling (steel dies) is expensive and takes weeks or months to produce, making prototyping slow and risky.

​

Why Chemical Etching is the Superior Choice

Our pioneering chemical etching process reimagines how connectors are made. By using a controlled chemical reaction to remove metal rather than brute force, we produce components that are 100% burr and stress-free.

​

The Benefits of Our Process:

​

• Unmatched Precision: We can etch micro electrical connectors to an accuracy of ±0.020mm as standard, meeting the strictest tolerances in the industry.

• Integrity of Material: Because the process is non-contact and non-thermal, the magnetic and physical properties of the metal remain completely unaffected.

• Digital Tooling: We utilize digital designs rather than physical molds. This allows for rapid prototype manufacturing, eliminating the need for hard tooling and drastically reducing both upfront costs and lead times.

• Complexity for Free: Whether you need a simple tab or an incredibly intricate mesh of contacts, the cost remains the same. Complexity does not increase the price or the production time.
