■Product features
Press-fit type bandolier pins are square-type bandolier terminals where each pin has a press-fit configuration. The press-fit pins can be produced in custom shapes that match your needs.
The terminals are directly planted on the band (carrier) and winded on reels afterwards.
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?
