Our Technical Expertise in Copper Die Stamping
Copper is a challenging material to stamp due to its high ductility and tendency to gall on die surfaces. Our engineers use specialized die coatings (TiN, TiAlN), polished die steels, and carefully designed clearances (typically 5–8% per side for copper) to achieve burr-free, clean-cut edges. Our CAD/CAM die design, in-house tool room, and automated strip feed systems guarantee consistently high-quality copper stampings even for thin-gauge and miniature components used in the electronics industry.
We have manufactured copper stampings for MV/LV switchgear busbars, solar panel junction box connectors, EV battery terminals, transformer tap changers, relay contact blades, motor terminal boards, and many other safety-critical applications where material integrity and dimensional consistency are non-negotiable.
Industries & Applications for Copper Stampings
Copper progressive and compound die stamped parts serve: Electrical switchgear, power distribution panels, transformers, motors & generators, solar energy systems, EV & hybrid vehicles, railway electrification, telecommunications infrastructure, industrial automation, and precision electronics manufacturing.

What Separates Us from Other Copper Stamping Manufacturers
Our focus on copper as a core material — not an afterthought — means our dies are designed specifically for copper’s unique springback, work hardening, and friction characteristics. We have invested in dedicated copper press lines with consistent-gap feeder systems, servo-controlled press speeds, and real-time tonnage monitoring. This level of specialization results in parts that consistently exceed customer expectations in both quality and value. Our zero-tolerance policy on customer complaints and our direct owner-managed engagement model mean every issue — if any — is resolved within 24 hours.
Our Flexibility to Customize Copper Stamped Parts
We manufacture copper stampings from customer drawings, samples, or sketches. We support all copper alloy grades, thicknesses from 0.1 mm, custom part marking (laser or ink), selective plating zones, multi-material assemblies (copper + brass + stainless), and special packaging such as reel-on-tape (for automated SMD pick-and-place), bulk bag, tray, or magazine feed. Engineering changes are accommodated rapidly — typically within 1–2 weeks for die modification.
Export-Worthy Packaging for Copper Parts
Copper parts are susceptible to surface oxidation and tarnishing. We use anti-tarnish VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) poly bags, oxygen-free sealed packaging, and desiccant sachets for long sea-freight shipments. Parts are individually separated using inter-leaved tissue or plastic dividers to prevent contact corrosion. Export cartons are moisture-sealed, palletized, and labeled with full traceability data per customer requirements.

Top Q&A – Copper Progressive Die & Compound Die Stamped Parts
Q1: Which copper grade is best for electrical contact stampings?
A: C11000 (ETP Copper) is the standard choice for most electrical contacts due to its 99.9% IACS conductivity and good formability. For spring contacts requiring higher strength, C17200 Beryllium Copper is used. For high-temperature applications, silver-bearing copper C11400 is preferred.
Q2: Can you stamp OFHC copper for vacuum and semiconductor applications?
A: Yes. We stamp C10100 and C10200 OFHC copper for vacuum system components, electron beam equipment, and semiconductor processing parts. Full material traceability and conductivity certificates provided.
Q3: What is the smallest copper part you can produce?
A: We can produce miniature copper stampings from 0.1 mm strip as small as 2 mm × 2 mm, used as SMD spring contacts and micro-connector pins.
Q4: How do you prevent copper oxidation on stamped parts?
A: We use VCI packaging, and for parts requiring permanent oxidation prevention, we offer electroless tin plating, silver plating, or passivation treatments.
Q5: Can you produce copper busbars with multiple punched holes?
A: Yes. We produce copper busbars of any length, width, and thickness with punched holes, slots, notches, and formed features. Compound and progressive dies both used depending on design.
Q6: Do you offer silver-plated copper stampings?
A: Yes. Silver plating is available in thicknesses from 2µm to 25µm, applied selectively or fully, to improve contact resistance and solderability.
Q7: What is the maximum thickness of copper you can stamp?
A: Our presses can stamp copper up to 6 mm thickness in single-stroke compound operations. For progressive die work, up to 4 mm is standard.
Q8: Can you produce copper stampings with tight bend radii?
A: Yes. ETP and DHP copper can be formed to very tight bend radii (0.5× material thickness) due to their high ductility. Beryllium copper requires larger radii to avoid cracking.
Q9: What is your quality control process for copper stampings?
A: We perform 100% visual inspection, sampling CMM inspection per AQL, burr height measurement, conductivity testing (for ETP parts), and hardness testing (for BeCu parts).
Q10: Do you offer tin-plated copper stampings for PCB applications?
A: Yes. Bright tin plating, matte tin plating, and lead-free HASL-equivalent plating are available on copper stampings for PCB connector and terminal applications.
Q11: What industries commonly use copper progressive die stampings?
A: Electrical switchgear, transformer manufacturing, EV battery systems, solar energy, railways, industrial motors, PCB connectors, and telecommunications hardware.
Q12: Can you produce copper stampings with embossed logos or part numbers?
A: Yes. We can emboss, coin, or laser-mark part numbers, lot codes, and customer logos directly on copper stampings.
Q13: Do you offer sub-assembly services combining copper stampings with other materials?
A: Yes. We can assemble copper stampings with brass inserts, stainless steel springs, plastic housings, and other components as per customer requirements.
Q14: Can you reverse-engineer a copper stamped part from a sample?
A: Yes. We accept physical samples for reverse engineering. We perform 3D scanning or precision CMM measurement to create manufacturing drawings and tooling.
Q15: Are your copper stampings suitable for cryogenic applications?
A: Yes. OFHC copper (C10100/C10200) retains full ductility and conductivity at cryogenic temperatures and is widely used in superconducting and cryogenic equipment.
