Electronic gold contacts
WHAT
The task was the forming of highly conductive electrical gold contacts.
WHY
Meeting the quality requirements with the use of hand presses and the like is not possible. It is essential to guarantee a highly conductive, resistance-free contact connection for up to 25 connections per rail. The entire contact rail is unusable if there is only one inadequate connection.
HOW
By using perfect riveting tools and dies, precise riveting machines and the ability to precisely control the forming process, the components can be manufactured to the highest quality.
