CUSTOM PRECISION ELECTRONIC CONTACTS

GAIN MAXIMUM ELECTRICAL AND CARRYING PERFORMANCE

From concept to placement, Laird has the expertise to deliver custom

precision surface mount contacts. Using the latest computer simulation

techniques, Laird provides properly designed contacts that ground, carry current

and signals, and interconnect boards and devices. Laird uses basic geometric

parameters (length, width, uncompressed height, compressed height, contact

force) to conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on your prospective design. With

the FEA results, we can then identify the best design to optimize a product's

operational performance. Features are incorporated to provide for placement and

soldering of the contact onto the circuit board.

Laird offers a wide range of plating options to allow for maximum electrical cur-

rent carrying performance.

Automated packaging allows for complex and small designs with lower

installed costs.

Contact base materials include beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, nickel

and stainless steel. All contacts are fully solderable as required.

CUSTOM STAMPING

MULTISLIDE CAPABILITIES

Our CAD helps you fine-tune your initial designs. Our finite element analysis

(FEA) simulates the performance of that design under actual working conditions.

Our CNC equipment helps produce precisely fabricated samples. Our optical

gauging inspection system ensures that the latest measurement technology

is used to measure your parts. Computer-programmable high-speed Bruderer

punch presses enable our progressive dies to produce families of parts

economically by eliminating the need for costly multiple dies. The result:

Laird can meet your custom stamping needs with the shortest, most reliable

lead times in the industry.

SHORT RUNS A SPECIALTY

With Laird you get complete prototype and low volume expertise. Our

capabilities range from photo-etching and secondary stamping to an

extensive selection of universal tooling and short-run production systems.

LAIRD DOES IT ALL

We provide full in-house tool and die design and manufacturing capabilities including CAD, CAM and the high-precision tolerances of wire EDM.

We manufacture custom components for many products, including connectors,switches, and electronic and electromechanical assemblies. Platings –

from gold to zinc – are also a part of our capabilities. No wonder some of the world’s leading electronics, aerospace, automotive andinstrumentation

companies turn to Laird for custom-engineered stampings. For more information on custom products, contact Laird's sales department.

Many of the world’s leading manufacturers of high technology products turn to Laird for their custom assembly requirements. Critical lead time and

inspection criteria are ensured by SPC quality control during both stamping and assembly operations.

CAPABILITIES:

• Fully automated or semiautomated equipment

• Heat staking

• Ultrasonic welding

• Resistance welding

• Conventional and orbital riveting

• MIL certification soldering

• Critical/intricate requirements performed

• Special packaging for pick-and-place

MultiSlide fabrication provides high volume production quantities with low-cost

tooling. A variety of part configurations can be designed for this economic

process. In-house tooling design and manufacturing help reduce lead times.

ADVANTAGES:

• Reduced material consumption

• Variations in materials are available from wire to flat strips

• Fully automated production

• Tooling can be easily reworked to accommodate moderate changes

• Form stations are independently adjustable for part consistency

• Interchangeability of tools

• Economic fabrication of RF board level shields
