■Product features
The terminals are directly planted on the band (carrier) and winded on reels afterwards. Various band dimensions are available, according to the pitch of each housing, thus increasing the number of pins that can be inserted all at once during your assembly processes, but also improving the tact time of the production line.
Furthermore, please have a look at the following 4 advantages of our bandoliers.
1. All pins have the same insertion direction
2. Bandolier with or without plating can be handled. It does not matter if you need pre-plating, post-plating or only partial plating, all types are available. Through partial plating it is possible to reduce material costs. We offer Au plating and more.
3. Compared to pressed terminals, a huge reduction of initial equipment costs can be achieved.
4. All 4 sides of the terminals can be plated.
■Q&A corner (bandolier terminals / pin)
Q: What band dimensions can be handled by Cold Heading?
A: All types of dimensions can be handled. For detailed information, please have a look at the corner for square wires, flat square wires, round wires and press-fit pins, or contact us.
Q: What diameter, length, pitch is available?
A: For detailed information, please have a look at the corner for square wires, flat square wires, round wires and press-fit pins, or contact us.
Q: What quantities can be handled?
A: From 10,000 pcs up to several 100,000,000 pcs per month.
Q: Are there any cost-related advantages?
A: Compared to pressed products, our Cold Heading Technology does not leave material waste.
Q: Any occurrence of sagging or burrs?
A: Our technology reduces the occurrence to a minimum.
Q: I am considering to change from pressed components, but how is the accuracy of cold headed components? What about the equipment costs? Compared to pressed components, can the same dimension be achieved?
A: Please have a look at the page for “comparison of press processing from strip material and Cold Heading processing from wire material”
Q: How are bandoliers packed / delivered?
A: All bandoliers are wound on reels (plastic or carton)
Q: Any support for an integrated production for connectors or switches?
A: Integrated production is supported from bandolier pins / terminals until assembly.
Q: Is plating available?
A: Either pre-plating (Sn reflow) or post-plating (e.g. partial Au plating) is available.
