Custom Metal Electrical Contacts: Materials and Manufacturing
Electrical contacts look simple — a small shaped piece of conductive metal — but they are among the most performance-critical parts in a device. A contact that arcs, overheats or loses spring tension can fail an entire switch, relay or connector. Specifying the right base material, manufacturing route and plating is what separates a contact […]
Custom Metal Molds and Dies: Building the Tooling Behind Repeatable Parts
Custom metal molds and dies are the reusable tools that turn a drawing into thousands of identical parts. A mold shapes material by filling a cavity, as in die casting or injection, while a die cuts, bends, or forms sheet or strip, as in stamping. Both are precision metal components in their own right, built […]
