Bandolier Pins
Your customized precision connector pin on a bandolier
Contact pins on a bandolier offer a compelling packaging solution for many automated insertion applications. They enable selective plating to save on the cost of precious metal as well as simplify and speed up the pin-insertion process. Bandolier contact pins are manufactured using our unique machinery by utilizing thermal restriction or swaging (pyramidal stamping). Adjustments to customized geometries are easily achievable without passing on tooling costs to the customer. Various standard bandoliers in mm and inch dimensions are available from our stock. The bandoliers are supplied to our customers on reels.
