The days when you had to choose between speed, cost, and precision are over.
Why design your Connector Pins to be made
utilizing Automatic Die Rolling?
Cost savings
With Automatic Die Rolling, our higher machine speeds mean lower labor costs, and scrap free production mean lower raw material cost, resulting in a lower piece price for you!
Quality
Automatic Die Rolling tools don’t dull like cutting knives do. Our AQL is just under one pin per 600,000,000. And no, that’s not a typo. No other method of making pins even comes close.
Volume
Automatic Die Rolling is very fast, up to 5 pins a second. Electropin Technologies has never had a problem producing whatever volume a customer requires. We have a documented case of providing a computer chip manufacturer over 1 billion pins in 12 months, 0 defect.
Eliminate lead
Lead is added to brass for machining purposes. Automatic Die Rolling does not require leaded brass, so don't just reduce your REACH/ROHS exposure, eliminate it with lead free production.
Responsive
Sometimes you can get your first batch of cold-formed pins in just two weeks. When the raw materials are available, you can dramatically scale up production when your needs change.
Electropin has leveraged the power of cold-form manufacturing to become an unrivaled provider of custom connector pins. Simply put, we can make your pins faster, more accurately, and at less cost than anyone else because we produce no scrap.
So stop paying a machine shop to waste metal with every pin they make for you. With Electropin, get the custom connector pins you need without compromising on cost and quality.
Why Are You Still Paying to
Send Metal to the Scrapyard?
cut the source material to make your part. This causes you a lot of costly problems.
Batch Consistency Over Time
Because the tool’s cutting edge changes with every part, the pins from the beginning of the batch won’t match the ones from the end.
Producing Scrap
Wastes Materials
Every time you cut metal, you’re producing scrap. That’s metal you pay for but delivers value to the scrapyard instead of to your customers.
Tooling Edges
Get Dull
Cutting will dull your tools’ edges, resulting in more frequent and costly retooling.
Automatic Die Rolling: Your
Solution to Wasteful Machining
Automatic die rolling is a cold-form manufacturing technique that doesn’t just minimize the problems of machining: it eliminates them.
That’s because the process is based on pushing whatever raw material you choose into a custom die and forcing that metal to conform to the shape of the die.
With no cutting, there is no wasted scrap. You can get as many as five custom connector pins a second, with no waste.
Automatic Die Rolling Your
Custom Connector Pins is Environmentally Responsible.
The obvious reason why Automatic Die Rolling is advantageous is price. However, globally responsible companies look for more than that. Here are just some of the reasons why our unique process is not only better for your bottom line but also better for our planet.
- Running at higher speed means we produce your pins with less electricity.
- Scrapless production means less wasted material or material being remelted.
- Lead free material keeps harmful metals out of our environment.
The Cold-Forming
Process
Don’t know if cold-forming is the best manufacturing technique to meet your needs? That’s OK! We’ve developed this customized process to help you get the high-performing pins you need without sacrificing any functionality.
01
Step 1: Discuss Your Performance Needs
Send your drawing to an Electropin Technologies expert to tell us everything you need your custom connector pin to do and when you need your first delivery.
03
Step 3: Create your Die
Electropin’s experts will create the tools needed to cold-form custom connector pins to your specifications.
02
Step 2: Refine
the Design
If cold-forming is feasible for your pin, an Electropin Technologies engineer will work with you to refine your design to achieve all the functionality you need at minimal cost.

Step 4: Cold-Form
Your Parts
Electropin will begin to manufacture your parts in as little as two weeks, delivering batches of pins on the timeline that works for you.
Star
Electropin’s most popular feature, a star provides the highest retention and anti-rotational strength for your pin.
Tabs
Splines offer strong retention with minimal expansion of the pin’s diameter.
Inscribed Square
Inscribed squares offer retention and anti-rotation without any protrusion from the diameter of the pin.
Flat
Flat features make a pin that, once inserted, is hard to pull out or rotate.
