Precision in electronic assemblies isn’t optional—it’s what separates clean signals from noise. When thin features distort, plating varies, or solder joints shift in reflow, small deviations turn into big failures.
At Gromax, DFM, tooling, stamping, and gaging sit under one roof. We engineer contacts, terminals, and shields for real conditions—controlling form, finish, and function from coined EMI shields to micro terminals—so parts run right through final build.
To comply with ITAR, DFARS, and applicable U.S. export control regulations, Gromax does not display actual customer parts, drawings, specifications, or technical data in public-facing materials.
Images shown are illustrative only and are used to represent Gromax’s design and manufacturing capabilities. They do not contain proprietary, controlled, or export-restricted information.
±0.0015″ features, tight true-position, and SMT coplanarity control for 0.50–1.27 mm pitches on terminals and leadframes.
Selective Ni/Pd/Au, Ag, and Sn with controlled roughness and burr direction to cut fretting, contact resistance, and noise.
Coined, ultra-flat shields and frames with pick-and-place features, venting, and removable lids that stay planarity-true through reflow.
Compliant pins and blades tuned for insertion/retention, board-lock geometry, and reflow-stable springs for rugged, solderless or hybrid joints.
Leadframes and contacts designed with downsets, tie-bar strategy, and carrier control for clean transfer into insert/transfer molds.
GR&R ≤10% on CTQs, inline vision and in-die sensing, plating microsections, and full PPAP/FAI traceability from first hit to shipment.
Copper alloys are used for conductivity. Stainless is common for corrosion resistance and spring performance. Brass, beryllium copper, and nickel silver are also used depending on strength, formability, and contact requirements.
That depends on material thickness, feature size, forming, and flatness requirements. Tight tolerances are achievable, but repeatability across production is just as important as the print tolerance.
Check base material, edge condition, plating thickness, solderability, and critical surfaces. For overmolding, review retention features, shutoffs, and stack-up early.
Look at process capability, material experience, quality systems, tooling ownership, and ability to manage plating, tapping, and assembly.
Ask for material and plating declarations, compliance documentation, and clear support for restricted substance review.
Common risks include single-source tooling, long-lead materials, weak change control, and limited visibility into sub-tier suppliers.
