Microminiature Stampings and Other Precision Parts

Deringer also produces microminiature stampings and small precision parts for electronic as well as non-electronic applications. These products, like our contacts and assemblies, are backed by decades of design and manufacturing expertise. Small presses using either progressive type or single stage tooling are used to make miniaturized components in small or large quantities.

Deringer is capable of producing in high volumes C and S bends, headed leads for semiconductors, fine wire parts, finger contacts, slip ring, wipers and spring-leaf type wire contacts. These are made from such precious metals as gold, platinum, palladium and silver and their alloys as well as from other materials such as copper, copper alloys, stainless steel and nickel silver. Typical applications are potentiometers, timers, transducers and various instruments and recorders in which good electrical contact on a non-filming surface is essential.

Deringer's production facilities can accommodate most customer needs. Through its four-slide capabilities, it can offer increased cost savings in automated contact-blade assemblies because tooling for this manufacturing process is normally less expensive than that used in progressive-tool type production.
