Benefits of Progressive Metal Stamping for Electronics and  Power Delivery

Progressive die stamping is a natural fit for the electrical, electronics, and power delivery industries. With a growing variety of components and devices designed to be smaller and smaller, the need for many types of very tiny metal parts is expanding throughout these industries.

A stamper like CEP Technologies offers several benefits to manufacturers in these industries, including:

• Custom parts for a variety of applications including power delivery, electrical equipment, electronic devices and household appliances. Progressive stamping can be widely used for components within these industries.
• Custom stamping capabilities to your specifications, with tight tolerances, so you get exactly what you need, not just “close enough” or off-the-shelf components.
• In-house engineering expertise in precision stamping to work with your part design and optimize it for the manufacturing process. Our team is mindful of the interplay between part performance, material selection, cost, and lead time.
• In-house manufacturing and maintenance of the tooling and dies for the life of your project so they’re always available and part quality remains consistent. 
• One-stop production to save time and money with a single vendor. We offer several options for finishing, cleaning, and packaging.

Progressive stamping is used to create miniature to small parts that are formed through a series of operations as a thin strip of metal feeds through a press. A few common part types include:

• Battery contacts
• Switch contacts
• Relay components
• EMI/RFI shields
• Clips, tabs, latches, brackets, plates and more

Each manufacturer designs these and other part types for their unique products, therefore most progressive stamping work CEP Technologies does is custom.

Materials Used in Metal Stamping for Electronics and Power Delivery

Material selection is critical to successful manufacturing and honoring design intent. At CEP Technologies, we work with strips of metal ranging from .002” to .080” thick, run on 15 to 60 ton presses. 

Characteristics like conductivity, solderability, strength, malleability, corrosion resistance, and others may be considered when selecting the best material for a part. Cost and availability are also important factors. 

Common metal materials used for electrical, electronic, and power delivery applications include, but are not limited to:

• Low and high carbon steel
• Copper and copper alloys
• Brass
• Bronze
• Stainless steel
• Steel alloys
• Nickel-plated steel
• High performance alloys
• Precious metals
• Pre-plated materials

Our team can work with you to select materials that meet your requirements. We can also provide coatings, polishing, heat treatment, and anodizing services.
