Core Technology & Functionality
Engineered for PCB-mounted hybrid sockets, this 0.5mm stainless steel housing overcomes industry-critical forming challenges:
Ultra-Narrow 90° Bending: Achieves bends narrower than material thickness via multi-stage forming with pre-score lines and pressure ribs at every station to eliminate deformation.
Burr-Free Trimming: Proprietary upward waste-cutting + pneumatic ejection ensures ±0.05mm dimensional accuracy and smooth edges.
Tear-Form Pin Contacts: Tungsten steel punch inserts replace conventional R-angles to enable seamless bend marks and EMI-shielded pin alignment.
Primary Function:
Provides electromagnetic shielding and mechanical stability for high-density PCB connectors in compact electronics.

SMT Socket Housing with Precision Metal Bending
This advanced SMT socket housing uses 0.5mm stainless steel formed with ultra-tight 90° bends—achieved through multi-stage tooling and pre-score lines. Our design eliminates deformation and distortion, enabling housing widths narrower than material thickness—a known industry challenge.
Key to this breakthrough is the integration of pressure ribs at each station, maintaining bend accuracy even at micron levels. This level of precision metal bending ensures mechanical fitment and electromagnetic performance for space-constrained PCBs.
Zero-Burr PCB Shielding with Tear-Free Edges
To achieve zero-burr PCB shielding, we apply a proprietary upward shearing and pneumatic ejection technique. The result: ±0.05mm dimensional tolerance and scratch-free edges (Ra ≤ 0.4μm). Our tear-form punch structure removes the need for R-angle clearances, preventing EMI leakage at pin contacts and preserving circuit integrity.
This smooth, burr-free finish is critical for connectors in 5G RF modules, GPU sockets, and SSD shields, where debris or misalignment could compromise data flow or mechanical retention.
