This brass stepped connector pin with a retention hole is a precision-turned component engineered for reliable mechanical positioning and electrical or mechanical connection in compact assemblies. Manufactured on Swiss-type CNC turning centers, each pin features accurately controlled stepped shoulders that locate against housings or insulators and a precision cross-drilled retention hole for snap rings, rivets, or indexing pins.
Key parameters: typical diameters range from 0.5 mm to 4.0 mm with lengths customizable to your drawing. Standard production tolerances are ±0.01 mm, with tighter tolerances available for high-precision applications. Surface finishing options include gold plating (for best conductivity and corrosion resistance), nickel plating (wear resistance), and tin plating (solderability).
Where it’s used: these stepped pins are commonly used in electrical connectors, handset assemblies, PCB connector housings, test probes, miniature valves, and sensor mounts. Their stepped geometry simplifies assembly by providing controlled shoulder bearings and mechanical stops, while the retention hole enables secondary fastening or indexing during assembly.
Why choose this part: the combination of Swiss-turning accuracy, tight shoulder concentricity, and consistent cross-hole placement makes this component ideal when small form-factor reliability matters. Our in-house process control (CMM verification, batch traceability, and plating QA) ensures consistent fit and finish for both prototype runs and high-volume production.
