Electrical Spring Contacts

BECU contacts

Beryllium copper parts are best used for electrical contacts.

Found in electrical circuit component like electrical switches, relays and breakers, electrical spring contacts are needed in all sorts of industries. Contacts can be custom made in all different types of sizes and materials, depending on the voltage requirements and use application. Without these small, but critical components, we’d find it difficult to easily control electrical-powered devices.

Electrical contacts at Atlantic Precision Spring can be produced on a wide array of manufacturing equipment. Prototype quantities and short runs through large volume orders are all produced on tooling made by our expert staff. Contacts can be prototyped in as little as 48-72 hours utilizing our wire EDM and standard tooling. Short run, fourslide and power press forming tools and dies are custom crafted for long life, high precision and low maintenance.
