Technology | Swaging

A Behind the Scenes Look at our Unique Technology

Bead Electronics developed the swaging manufacturing process for electronic connector pins in 1925.

The Swaging Process for Custom Electronic Contact Pin Manufacturing

Swaging Process Infographic

Swaging is capable of creating small, tubular metal components that are dimensionally consistent and inexpensive to produce. This process can also be used with round or square wire, as well as loose or continuous wire pins.

We know swaging because we invented it!

In The Bead Electronics Swaging Process: From Concept to Reality, you will learn:

  • How swaging compares to common metal forming techniques today
  • The history and benefits of swaging
  • Bead’s standard processes for accommodating partners, new and existing
  • How Bead’s manufacturing process offers customization, quick lead-times and pricing

Swaging is Scrapless

and Sustainable

Our scrapless swaging process has been minimizing waste while maximizing precision and efficiency since 1914. Swaging allows us to produce high quality, high-precision pins at a fraction of the cost of their machined counterparts in as little as two weeks.
