The company, the only UK manufacturer of this range of press-fit pins, has partnered with developers TSB Sorig and is expecting to produce millions of components every year for customers involved in automotive electronics and those looking for increased efficiency and robustness in interconnects.
Brandauer CEO, Rowan Crozier, says: “The ‘needle eye’ technology lends itself to automation and offers greater efficiency and we can adapt the press-fit compliance pin to suit customer’s bespoke requirements. This is where our special product division comes into its own and we can manufacture a prototype push fit terminal in just 15 days.”
The Birmingham-based company has been stamping press-fit components for over 20 years and has continually invested in world class production facilities. In addition to EloPin, Brandauer also promoted its expertise in progression tooling, laminations and presswork.
Brandauer’s state-of-the-art high speed presses are key to meeting volume requirements
Its capability includes bespoke VISI CAD software, standardised in-house tooling with rapid lead times and access to approved copper alloy material suppliers.
Furthermore, these essential services are coupled with a process flexibility that includes vertical/horizontal de-coiling/recoiling and quick turn selective plating.
Crozier concludes: “There has been a lot of uncertainty after Brexit, but we remain confident that investment in solderless terminal pin capabilities is vital to navigate the economy that we find ourselves in. We currently export 75% of our £7 million turnover, and we want this to grow. The one way we can help deliver this expansion is being in control of our destiny through manufacturing and marketing our own products. EloPin is the first of a multi-faceted approach to the development of our product offering and we look forward to considerably adding more to the range over the next 18 months.”
Brandauer is also a founding member of the Manufacturing Assembly Network, a group of eight sub-contract manufacturers and a specialist engineering design house who work together to win new work.
