Plug Inserts and Pins
Plug inserts are the brass pin and carrier assemblies that sit inside a moulded plug. Cord set makers buy them as a component so they can mould their own plug bodies without running a pin stamping and assembly operation.
We supply inserts and pins in several national patterns. The Swiss insert, for example, is specified in H62 brass with PBT and 30% thermoplastic resin, a surface free of air holes, shrink holes, burrs and cracks, a flame that self-extinguishes within 30 seconds and no puncture under 2700 V for 5 seconds.
