For the completion of electronic circuits, where a physical connection is required, Etch Tech can provide photo etched metal connectors and contacts. The etching process is perfect for bulk production of metal connector and contact components, with forming and plating available for the finishes of parts. This makes Etch Tech the single-source solution for photo etched connectors and contacts.
Connectors and Contacts are used in many industries; aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, medical, military, telecoms, and test and measurement.
