Seamless Pin Solutions for Overmolded Applications

Bead Electronics has been manufacturing overmolded and insert-molded connectors and overmolded assemblies since 1920. Our overmolded connectors combine multiple materials to improve the look, feel and performance of your finished product.

Seamless

Bead Electronics uses metal pins in our insert-molded and overmolded connectors to integrate the metal electrical contact portion into the molding process and seamlessly combine multiple materials, improving product design, performance and aesthetics.

Overmolded connector

Durable

Our overmolded and insert-molded connectors offer safe handling and provide protection in electronic enclosures from dust, accidental contact and more. In addition, these connectors maintain their structural integrity, protecting the connection even in harsh environments.

Durable overmolded connector

Custom

With custom connectivity options based on connector size, pin shape, base metal, plating, mounting options and more, Bead Electronics makes it easy to create the right pin for the job.

Sample Application

Overmolded Connector with Right Angle Pins
Custom connector for a Water in Fuel (WIF) Automotive sensor. This diesel fuel application has Bead pins that are part of a printed circuit board assembly that is overmolded creating an interface to mate with another connector. They use custom, right angle round wire pins, .062" 0, brass wire, gold plated.
Overmolded Connector with Custom Pin
Custom connector for a Water in Fuel (WIF) Sensor. This diesel fuel application features Bead pins that are overmoulded to create an interface to mate with another connector. These pins have flat retention to keep the pin locked into place, preventing rotation.

Collaborative Design Solutions

We’ll work with your design team to optimize the pin design for your assembly process including pin insertion, packaging (e.g. tape & reel & other requirements. Send Bead your requirements and our engineering team will turn them into a working custom solution. With our unique manufacturing and processing capabilities, our engineering team is able to design, tool and produce custom solutions very quickly with minimal non-recurring engineering (NRE) charges. 

Discover Market Applications

Our contact pins can be used in overmolded assemblies in many applications, such as those that must withstand harsh environments, sterilization, and more. In addition, overmolded assemblies are great for applications that require frequent mating/unmating or color coordination.
