Bandoliered pins
Bandoliered pins are mounted on coils with pre defined spacings. They are manufactured according to your requirements and can be provided with all established surface treatments.
Bandoliered pins are the perfect solution for highly automated processing and assembling. We offer galvanic plating for example with: Cu, Ni, Sn, Au, Ag or SnPb . Furthermore the plating can be operated in a selective process to save precious metal. Our portfolio contains round- and square wire with and without embossings, cut and thermally cracked tips.
Bandoliered pins find application in the automotive and electro/electronic sector to mount standardized terminals/connectors.

| Diameter | 0,3 bis 1,0 mm |
| Pitch | 2,0 - 4,0 mm (depending on application) |
Wire-bended parts
Bended parts are produced as bulk by cutting and bending of round and square wire on universal bending machines. Further handling/machining like embossing, cutting, tip machining, slide grinding, thermal treatment, surface treatment, diagnostic inspection, cleaning to highest requirements and packaging is possible.
Inovan stands for highest precision and quality in high volume production. Due to minimum material consumption, optimized setup-times we reach a high level of efficiency. We offer several galvanic surface treatments for example with Cu, Ni, Sn, Au, Ag or SnPb.
Bended parts made from wire are versatile, they can be applied as electric conductor, spring element or mechanical connector. They can be found in countless applications in the automotive, electro and electronic industry.
| Basic Material | Steel and copper alloys (customer specific requirements on request) |
| Diameter | 0,2 mm - 2 mm, round or square, other profiles on request |
| Tolerances | ±0,1 mm, diameter ±0,02 mm |
Turning parts
Our pins are produced with special turning machines and cold drawn wire.
Inovan can offer a low-cost production by using coiled wire instead of rod material. Additionally the usage of cold drawn wire with highest precision (tolerance class h8) is possible. We can offer a free choice of material and surface, and can also provied a flexible quantity starting from medium up to high volume lot sizes.
Our turned parts find manifold applications in the automotive, electro- and electronic industry and many other segments.
Our product range contains:
| Basic material | Copper and copper alloys, Brass alloys, Nickel alloys |
| Dimensions |
max. part diameter: 0,5 mm - 4,0 mm |
| Surfaces |
Degreased, plain, industrially cleaned, high requirements in cleanliness /purity can be offered on demand. |
Continuous wires
By forming a predetermined breaking point we produce contact pins from wire. The continuous wires are delivered on reels in many variations for the automotive, electro- and electronic industry. Those parts are produced on our self –designed and developed machines.
Our continuous wires are a cost – efficient solution for pins with a tip on both sides, with and without embossing – especially for high speed assembling. Inovan offers a high flexibility in production and machining, the choice out of round, square or flat wire, plain- or pre-plated wire is possible. For optimized mounting and assembling you can choice out of several standard embossings or your individual customer – specific form.
Continuous wires find application in many areas of the electro- and electronic industry, amongst others in the automotive and industrial sector, building technology or in the sector of alternative energy.
| Basic material | Manufacturing of iron and steel wire as well as further materials on request. |
| Dimension | Round- and square wire: -0,5 mm - 1,2 mm Pin length max. 45 mm (dependent on the required straightness and diameter of the used rails for the pins) |
| Surface | Plain, cold drawn Galvanic pre-plated wires Internal Testing methods for surface thickness, solder ability and aging tests |
Thermally cracked pins
Thermally cracked pins are produced as bulk ware on universal bending machines. Further handling/machining like embossing, cutting, tip machining, slide grinding, thermal treatment, surface treatment, diagnostic inspection, cleaning to highest requirements and packaging is possible.
With our modern equipment and very low material consumption and setup time we are working with high efficiency. Hereby we guarantee highest precision and quality during the implementation. Inovan offers galvanic surface treatment amongst others with: Cu, Ni, Sn, Au, Ag or SnPb. Additionally we offer delivery in every required conditioning, even in customer-provided packaging.
Thermally cracked pins are used as electrical connectors. They find application in the automotive and the electro-and electronic industry.
