True Grip Contact Pins: A Stronger PCB Connection

Bead’s True Grip Contact Pins are SMT Pins with Through Hole strength. These hybrid PCB contact pins are inserted by applying pressure to the flange, not the tip, eliminating the risk of bent pins. True Grip Contact Pins are a reliable and cost-effective alternative to pin-through-paste processing, which causes debris to be disbursed across the PCB creating contamination, defects, and scrap, as well as bent pins.

Top Advantages of Bead’s True Grip PCB Contact Pins

AUTOMATIC INSERTION
Our True Grip Contact Pins are specialty end-to-end pins, which come on a continuous reel for automation insertion.

SIMPLIFIED PROCESSING
True Grip Contact Pins require less soldering, meaning less debris and fewer defects.

CUSTOMIZABLE
True Grip Contact Pins can be tailored to your needs, with custom materials and packaging options, as well as the option for a shortened tail that does not protrude through the PCB.

RELIABLE
Our True Grip Contact Pins offer reliable and robust electrical connections through a simplified approach and fewer defects during the assembly process.

LARGE SOLDERING SURFACE
With ample soldering space, True Grip Contact Pins enable strong, reliable surface mount processing.

CONSISTENT
With consistent pin height, True Grip Contact Pins prevent bending.

Where True Grip Contact Pins Shine

True Grip Contact Pins are ideal for PCB applications and excel in applications where:

  • Customization is necessary
  • Robust mechanical and electrical connections are required
  • Where bending is a concern
  • When reliable SMT processing is preferred
  • Automation and efficiency is needed

True Grip Contact Pins may not be suitable for:

  • Applications needing pin through hole (PTH) soldering
  • Non-PCB uses

Why Bead’s True Grip Contact Pins Outperform the Competition

Traditional pin-through-paste processing causes conductive material to be disbursed creating contamination, defects and scrap. The True Grip Contact Pin needs only a doughnut of solder under the flange to produce a strong reliable joint. This reduces the amount of solder required by up to 33% while minimizing debris and achieving a better mechanical and electrical connection.
