CUSTOM PRECISION ELECTRONIC CONTACTS
Gain Maximum Electrical and Carrying Performance
From concept to placement, Laird Technologies has the expertise to deliver
custom precision surface mount contacts. Using the latest computer
simulation techniques, Laird Technologies provides properly designed contacts
that ground, carry current and signals, and interconnect boards and devices.
Laird Technologies 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 Technologies offers a wide range of plating options to allow for
maximum electrical current 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.
