Precision Metal Stamping for the Electronics and Electrical Power Industry

Electronics and electrical power assemblies require exceedingly precise components to meet demands for power generation, energy supply, and complex electronic devices. To meet these needs and develop high-quality electronic assemblies, companies need a metal stamping and manufacturing partner they can trust.

Verdugo Tool & Engineering offers precision metal stamping services that support the requirements of rapidly evolving industries like electronics and electrical power. With our advanced equipment, we can produce high volumes of micro-sized and medium-sized parts that meet our clients’ performance standards. Learn more about the crucial role of metal stamping and how we use it to ensure high-quality production at scale.

Why Metal Stamping Is Crucial for the Electronics and Electrical Power Industry

Metal stamping is a fast, efficient, and precise metal-forming technique, offering benefits that many other manufacturing techniques can’t match. Its primary advantages include:

Speed and Efficiency

At Verdugo, we use metal stamping techniques to quickly produce large volumes of standard and custom components, so you can get products on the market faster.

This speed never means sacrificing quality. We can maintain rapid production rates while supporting tolerances down to 0.001 inches and measuring restrictions at around +/- 0.005 inches.

Precision and Consistency

As electronic and electrical assemblies become more precise and compact, Verdugo works to deliver a steady supply of precision components that fit in place without errors or misalignment. During the tooling process, our dies are created from long-lasting tool steels that can bear millions of production cycles. Metal stamping presses can then form sheet metal into exact shapes and specifications to ensure precision across production, whether for medium or micro-sized components.

Metal Stampings for Electronics and Electrical Applications

Components for the electrical power industry must support evolving requirements to accommodate new distribution needs, power sources, and populations. At Verdugo, our engineering and metal stamping teams can deliver standard and custom metal-stamped components for electrical and electronic assemblies. Some common examples of electrical metal stamped parts we provide include:

• Connectors. These small components can reliably connect different electrical components and are often produced using precision stamping to ensure a precise fit and reliable performance.
• Metal-stamped terminals. Precision stamping provides consistent quality during manufacturing, which is crucial to ensure that these components can effectively control the flow of electricity.
• Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shields. Metal stamping can be used to create shields that protect sensitive electronic components from interference.

Our metal stamping services for electrical and electronics applications extend to a range of other components, including:

Our metal stamping services can support a range of outdoor applications, including producing components for transformers, solar panels, outdoor fixtures, air conditioning units, and outdoor lighting fixtures. They also support production for interior applications such as breaker boxes and service panels, outlets, heating and cooling systems, and various smart devices.

We also specialize in producing precision stamped metal parts for electronics and electrical systems for aerospace, aviation, and defense applications. Examples include electrical connectors, EMI shielding, and more.

Finishing Services

Finishing options for improved performance can include:

• Heat treatment
• Electropolishing
• Tin, gold, or silver plating

Materials for Electronics and Electrical Power Stamped Parts

Verdugo’s metal stamping services include expert material selection and support. Every metal alloy offers different characteristics. Some characteristics assist with streamlined production, such as solderability and malleability, while others affect the long-term performance of electrical components, such as corrosion resistance, conductivity, and strength.

Copper is a popular metal in electrical component manufacturing because of its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and versatility. Common options include:

• C110. This is a ductile, high-purity copper alloy (99% copper). It offers thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and reliable corrosion resistance.
• C194. One of the most popular copper alloys, C194 has good solderability, tensile strength, and plating compatibility.
• C195. C195 is stronger than most copper alloys, balancing strength and electrical conductivity for use in micro-sized and compact components.

Brass is another copper-based alloy, and it’s a high-performance material for electrical component metal stampings. Some brass alloys we frequently work with are:

• CZ108. The most popular type of brass, CZ108 or “yellow brass,” has good thermal conductivity and electrical resistance.
• CZ121. This is an alpha beta brass with lead. It has a 100% machinability rating, is thermally conductive, and offers electrical resistance.
• CZ126. This brass alloy has traces of arsenic, which improves the metal’s corrosion resistance while allowing good ductility and formability in manufacturing. CZ126 components have good thermal conductivity and electrical resistance.
