The beryllium copper spring contact was manufactured by Keats Manufacturing Company for a large medical component manufacturer in Minnesota. These spring contacts were used in hearing aid applications.
Stamping dies were designed in-house using AUTOCAD, based on the customers’ supplied specifications in print and .DWG file. Tight quality control employed in the stamping process ensured that all 120,000 spring contacts complied with tight tolerances of 0.0005”. The product also required gold plating. It was delivered within 35 days of receipt of the order.
