Tailor-made solutions for your requirements: Individual contact blocks

30.04.2024

In today's world, where the demands placed on technical components are constantly increasing, customized contact blocks play a crucial role. These specialized components, which are used in a variety of applications such as contacting sensor units, in smart tool holders for lathes or as part of battery charging contact blocks, are key to optimizing manufacturing processes and product functionality.

Spring contacts and interface blocks for specific application requirements

We offer a wide range of solutions, including customized spring contact blocks and interface blocks. Our extensive range allows us to fit virtually any spring contact into a block. Adapting the spring force to the individual conditions is usually not critical. An important aspect is the adaptation to the piston, which is usually possible without great effort, which considerably simplifies integration into existing systems.

Manufacturing process: Injection molding vs. turning

The choice of manufacturing process for custom contact blocks depends on several factors, including the quantity and the specific requirements of the application. Options range from injection molding, ideal for high-volume production runs with one-time tooling costs, to turning/milling, a process for smaller runs without tooling costs but with higher individual part costs. For production, we either manufacture an injection mold to inject the contact blocks in our own plastic injection molding production facility, or we manufacture the contact block as a turned/milled part.

Realization of special requirements 

Our customized solutions enable the integration of almost all desired properties. These can be coding pins for the correct placement of the blocks on a PCB or a special design to compensate for different heights of two units. Retaining lugs for better stability of the unit on a PCB, placement aids, flanges or knurls are just some of the adaptations we can make.

Choosing the right material 

The decision for the right material, such as PA, PEEK or POM, is based on the specific requirements of the respective application. 

The potential of individual contact blocks for innovative industrial solutions

Customized spring contact blocks and interface blocks open up new possibilities in the world of industrial applications. By working closely with our customers, we develop individual solutions that not only meet specific requirements, but also pave the way for innovation. Our expertise and willingness to respond to the needs of each customer make us the ideal partner for anyone looking for highly specialized and customizable technical components.
