Defense & Aerospace
From lead frames to EMI shields, Gromax delivers stamped components that meet the demands of miniaturization, signal integrity, and high-reliability electronics.
Electronics Require Precision—Gromax Delivers It.
We stamp thin-gauge metals, conductive alloys, and engineered materials for lead frames, EMI shields, sensor mounts, and insert-mold parts. Our parts meet tight tolerances, plating requirements, and miniaturization needs—with burr-free edges, dimensional accuracy, and form integrity from prototype to production.
Why Electronics & Sensor OEMs Choose Gromax
Thin-Gauge Precision Stamping
We stamp materials down to 0.001” thick, including beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, nickel silver, and stainless steel, with ±0.0015” tolerances for fine-feature components like lead frames, contacts, and shields.
In-Die Feature Integration
We integrate features directly into the stamping die, including coining for contact points, embossing for EMI performance, lances and extrusions for press-fit terminals, and laser marking for traceability—reducing secondary operations and improving consistency.
Plating & Shielding Finishes
We manage plating in compliance with ASTM B545, ASTM B700, and MIL-DTL-26074, delivering tin, nickel, silver, and selective plating to enhance conductivity, solderability, and shielding properties.
Micro-Forming & Burr-Free Control
Our tooling is designed for sharp-edge control and micro-forming of small geometries, minimizing burrs that could interfere with signal paths, mating connectors, or high-density assemblies.
Dimensional Validation & Custom Gaging
We validate critical dimensions using CMM (±0.0005”), optical comparators, SPC, and custom gages—supporting GD&T-defined tolerances and inspection data traceable to each lot.
Insert-Mold-Ready Stampings
We supply pre-formed, plated, and dimensionally validated stampings for insert molding, reducing prep work for sensor housings, smart devices, and overmolded electronics.
Solving Critical Electronics & Sensor Challenges
“We’re seeing burrs interfere with solder joints on our lead frames.”
We engineer tooling for burr-free shearing, fine-edge control, and validated post-stamp brushing or deburring where needed.
“Our EMI shield form factors are distorting during bending.”
We engineer tooling for burr-free shearing, fine-edge control, and validated post-stamp brushing or deburring where needed.
“We need selective plating for contact areas only.”
We deliver selective plating per drawing requirements, with plating certs traceable to ASTM/MIL specs and lot-level documentation.
“Our insert-molded terminals need consistent dimensional stability for mold fit.”
We hold tight form and flatness tolerances validated with CMM and custom gaging to ensure seamless fit in automated mold tooling.
