Brass stamping parts for sockets & power strips
Terminals, contact inserts, grounding parts, connection plates, pins and bushes — stamped, formed and inspected in Zhongshan, China. H62 and H65 brass as standard, phosphor bronze where a part has to keep its spring.
What we make
Six families of brass parts, from one supplier
Everything brass that sits inside a socket or a power strip — the conductive parts and the mechanical ones. Each family has its own page with the detail: what we stamp, which alloy to use and why, and what we need to quote.
Brass terminals
Screw, wire-clamp, spade and ring terminals, terminal blocks and fuse clips — stamped and formed in H62 or H65 brass.
See this range
Socket inserts & contacts
The contact clips that grip the plug pins. Made in phosphor bronze where the part has to hold its spring over thousands of insertions.
See this range
Grounding parts
Earth contacts, earth clips and grounding brackets for two- and three-pole socket constructions.
See this range
Connection plates & busbars
Bridging plates, jumper strips and multi-way plates that tie a socket’s poles together.
See this range
Pins, blades & bushes
Plug pins and blades, hollow rivets and threaded bushes — supplied loose or in strip form.

Custom stamped parts
If it is a stamped brass part inside a socket, a switch panel or a small appliance, send the drawing and we will tell you straight away whether it is a good fit.

Which brass, and why it matters
Most quality complaints about socket parts trace back to the wrong alloy, not the wrong geometry. These are the four grades we work with, and the reasoning behind each one.
| Grade | Composition | Why it is chosen | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| H62 brass | CuZn38 — about 62% copper | Good conductivity, forms easily, the most economical of the three. The default for high-volume parts where the contact is not spring-loaded. | Terminals, connection plates, general stamped parts |
| H65 brass | CuZn35 — about 65% copper | Higher copper content than H62: better conductivity and better resistance to corrosion and tarnishing, still formable. | Terminals and contacts where conductivity and surface quality matter |
| Phosphor bronze C5191 / C5210 |
Copper with tin and phosphorus | Higher elastic limit and much better resistance to stress relaxation — the contact keeps pressing on the pin instead of taking a set and losing grip. | Socket inserts, spring contacts, earth clips |
| Plated brass nickel / tin |
Any of the above, plated | Better solderability, wear resistance and appearance; tin for solderable joints, nickel for wear and corrosion. | Solder-tab parts, visible contacts, wear surfaces |
Thickness, tolerance and surface finish are quoted per part. Send the drawing and we will confirm the strip thickness the part needs, which dimensions we will measure and report, and the plating arrangement — rather than quote a generic number that will not survive your incoming inspection.
To quote
What we need from you
Send these seven things and you will get a real quote rather than a request for more information.
- Drawing — 2D (PDF / DXF) or 3D (STEP), or a clear photo of the sample with a ruler in frame
- Material — H62, H65, phosphor bronze, or “whatever you recommend”
- Critical dimensions — which features actually matter, and to what tolerance
- Quantity — trial quantity and expected annual volume
- Surface — bare, nickel-plated, tin-plated, or your existing supplier’s finish
- Packing — bagged, boxed, on strip, or a requirement from your line
- Destination — country and port, so we can quote the right Incoterm
Good to know
How ordering works
What is the minimum order?
Depends on the part and whether tooling is already running. For standard items we keep the minimum low and trial orders are welcome. We would rather you test 5,000 pieces in your line than take a large order and discover a problem after it ships.
How is the price calculated?
Per piece, in most cases, with the copper price of the day behind it. Because brass follows the copper market, quotations are confirmed again at each purchase order instead of being locked for a year — and we will always show you the basis rather than move a price quietly.
What are the payment terms?
Usually T/T 30% deposit with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading. FOB Shenzhen or Guangzhou as standard, EXW and CIF on request. Lettered terms can be discussed for larger orders.
Can I get samples?
Yes. For a custom part, the first-article sample comes about 10 days after the drawing is confirmed. For existing items we can send a sample from stock. Sample and courier cost is normally covered by the buyer and credited against the first production order.
How is the order shipped?
Samples and trial quantities by international express. Production orders by LCL for smaller volumes and FCL once they grow — brass is heavy, so sea freight is where the cost is. We are about an hour from Shenzhen and Guangzhou ports.
