Our unique swaging process ensures precision and value, making Bead the obvious choice when specifying contact pins.

Hand Insertion for Low-Volume Applications

For small-scale projects, our wire pins are available in bulk for manual insertion. This method is ideal for prototypes or low-volume production runs, providing the flexibility to manually fit each pin where needed. Explore connectors and headers suitable for hand insertion here.

Bowl Feeding for Automated Assembly

For higher efficiency in automated environments, choose our bowl-feeding option. Pins are supplied in bulk, ready to integrate with automated assembly machines, streamlining the orientation and insertion process. This solution is a perfect match for medium to high-volume production that demands speed and consistency. Learn more about our bowl feed solution and see it in action here.

Tape and Reel for Streamlined Manufacturing

Our tape and reel packaging offers a balance between upfront costs and long-term manufacturing efficiency. While the initial setup may be higher, this method significantly reduces downstream manufacturing costs, making it a wise choice for large-scale production. Discover the benefits of tape and reel packaging here.

Continuous Reel Insertions for High-Volume Efficiency

For the ultimate in efficiency and scalability, our continuous reel insertions provide pins produced end-to-end on a continuous reel. This method is designed for seamless integration with PCB assembly lines and is compatible with various headers. It offers a streamlined solution for high-volume production, minimizing manual handling and maximizing throughput. View our continuous reel options and compatible products here and here.
