Electrical Spring Contacts
Found in electrical circuit component like electrical switches, relays and breakers, electrical spring contacts are needed in all sorts of industries. Electrical 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 control electrical-powered devices easily.
Electrical contacts at Atlantic Precision Spring can be produced using various manufacturing equipment. Prototype quantities and short runs through large volume orders are all produced on tooling made by our expert staff. Custom electrical 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.
