Meeting ultra-tight tolerances down to ±.005″, Keats Manufacturing Co. designed and built these reel to reel phosphor bronze terminals for use in automotive lighting applications.
Keats’ engineers employed AutoCAD software to design the custom tooling for these parts. We then formed and stamped the coil stock to print from .014 ASTM B103 #510 phosphor bronze material.
After successfully fulfilling customer expectations for both design and quality, Keats Manufacturing Co. continues to manufacture up to 850,000 of these terminals annually for this client. Furthermore, our Kanban software program ensures Just-in-Time delivery of these parts to our buyer’s facility in Indiana.
