Multi-Row Progressive Stamping Die For Miniature Spring Contacts

Product Details:
Miniature spring contacts are so small that running one row leaves press time heavily underused. Our progressive stamping die arranges two or more rows across the strip, feeding them through all stations simultaneously. Each station performs a tiny bend or cut, building the part step by step. Sensors stop the press instantly if a mis-feed occurs, saving the delicate tooling from damage.

The die uses microscopically precise guides to keep the strip aligned at every station. Bending punches are often just a fraction of a millimeter wide. We use optical measuring during assembly to verify station-to-station pitch. High-speed presses run this die at over 500 strokes per minute, producing thousands of contacts in minutes. The strip scrap is collected and easily recycled.

Electronic assembly lines need contacts that fit into plastic housings without jamming automated feeders. The coining station flattens the contact tip for better conductivity. After stamping, parts stay on a reel for automated pick-and-place. By delivering perfectly consistent parts, this die helps your customers avoid placement errors. It is a small tool that makes a big impact on overall production volume.
