Bead vs. The Competition

Bead

The Competition

  • Consistent pin length (pitch) for reliable pin insertion
  • Inconsistent pin length causes insertion downtime
  • Smooth transition between tip and body for lower insertion and mating forces
  • Pyramid shaped stamped tips with abrupt transitions and burrs increase insertion and mating forces
  • Precise cut-offs prevent scraping of mating contact surfaces and ensure a more reliable connection


  • Sharp cut-off stubs scrape off plating on mating connector and lead to poor contact reliability
  • Smooth transitions mean less scraping and cleaner PCB assembly
  • Abrupt transitions mean more scraping and debris on the PCB
  • Precision level layer winding makes pay-off easy


  • Uneven winding leads to tangles, coil breakage and machine down-time
  • Custom packaging to insure your pins arrive safely


  • Standard packaging allowing product to shift during shipping
