A Guide to Drawn Wire Pins: Continuous Reel PCB Pins for High‑Reliability Automation

Key Takeaways Drawn wire pins are precision-formed, end-to-end reeled PCB pins engineered from specialized round or square wire for fully automated insertion in high-volume assemblies, delivering consistent quality and lower applied cost than hand-loaded, loose-piece or stamped alternatives. Autosplice supplies thousands of drawn wire pin configurations—including press fit, soldered, and through hole variants—without typical NRE costs, in lengths from approximately 0.100” / 2

A Guide to Press Fit Compliant Connectors

Press fit compliant connectors, using highly engineered press-fit terminals, represent a proven, high-reliability approach to PCB interconnection that eliminates the need for soldering while delivering a robust, gas-tight electrical connection at the interface of the terminal and the plated-through-hole (PTH) of the PCB. The functionality of press-fit connectors is defined by their reliable structure, efficiency, and ability to provide dependable electrical and mechanical con

Pins and Connectors: A Guide to Electrical Connection Solutions & Interconnects

Key Takeaways A connector transfers current from one part of an electronic system to another, and can take the form of a terminal or a grouping of terminals bound together in a plastic housing. Terminals are sometimes called contacts or pins, depending on context. Connectors can be used for power, signal or data transmission. There are many types of connectors, including circular, D-sub, and custom connectors, each designed for specific needs and industries, including industr
