Bead Electronics manufactures end to end, wire, and tubular contact pins. Our manufacturing process, called swaging, yields superior value when compared to competitors. That's because it's a high-speed, virtually scrapless cold-forming process capable of producing small, metal electronic components that are dimensionally consistent and inexpensive. Our swaged pins have the performance of machined pins at the price of stamped pins, and they can be tooled in a fraction of the time at a modest cost.
