The next step after production of the contact itself is attachment to some carrying member. These carriers may be in the form of thin spring stampings (blades), copper bars, intermediate size terminals, screw machine parts... the variety is almost endless.

Since no single attachment is best in all applications, each application should be evaluated from a performance and economic standpoint. For these reasons, users of contacts and contact assemblies find it advantageous to consult with Deringer engineers while their products are in initial design stages, or if a redesign is being considered.

When a contact assembly is manufactured by Deringer, you eliminate the hidden cost of contact scrap and inventory. Through experience, Deringer has developed many methods of keeping precious metal scrap at a minimum during production both at Deringer and at the end-user.

Deringer's state of the art assembly equipment can produce contact assemblies utilizing manufacturing processes such as staking, double heading, resistance wire or tape welding, and furnace brazing.

As the contact specialist, Deringer concentrates its efforts on originating, developing and perfecting the manufacturing process that provides the optimum contact and contact assembly. Deringer will provide the entire assembly or attach its contacts to your components, whichever best suits your requirements for efficiency and economy.
