| Product Description: | Contact clip is used within an automotive horn plate. |
The component shown here was designed for use as a horn plate contact clip in an automotive application. The die was designed and built to the customer’s supplied engineering drawing, upon completion of die fabrication the customer was supplied with a first article inspection report for approval.
The contact clip which is composed of .006” thick, CA172 beryllium copper, required tolerances of ±.001” to be maintained throughout the 8 million parts that are produced annually.
Maintaining quality throughout a volume run such as this requires stringent quality control measures. This run employs a quality system that includes a video measuring system, a race track for critical dimensions, as well as batch sample retention. The run was performed on our high speed 30 ton Bruderer press, which features die protection sensors. It also utilizes a system that automatically counts and bags the parts, adding a greater level of accuracy while protecting the finished parts from damage. Deliveries are made on a just-in-time (JIT) basis to support customer’s inventory control. Shipments to the customer include all applicable material Certs, and COCs.
