A spring clip replaces a screw, a rivet or a fastener with elastic force. Xinshunyan produces U shape clips, torsion clips, retaining clips, locking clips and multi-piece clip sets from 65Mn, high carbon steel and stainless wire and strip for downlights, cash drawers, furniture, and equipment housings.
Every part below is a production photograph. Each can be remade to your dimensions.
Clips are assembly-time parts, which means they are judged on how easily a worker can fit them and how reliably they stay fitted. Grip force that is too high slows the line and too low lets the part rattle loose, so clip force is set at the sample stage against your actual housing.
Wire diameter and leg length are adjusted at sampling so the clip holds firmly without needing a tool to fit.
Different clip families suit different joints, from a U clip springing into a downlight housing to a retaining clip holding a shaft in a groove.
Multi-piece sets, such as cash drawer clip sets, are supplied together and inspected as a kit rather than as loose parts.
Stainless clips are available where plated carbon steel would stain in humid air or under regular cleaning.

What gets tested before a batch is allowed to be packed
The six numbers a spring maker needs before anything can be quoted, and how to measure them from a part you already have.
Why most torsion spring failures happen at the leg, and how to get the handedness right the first time.
Yes. Send the clip and the housing it fits if possible, because the fit is easier to reproduce with both in hand than from dimensions alone.
Through wire diameter, material temper and leg geometry. We agree the feel on sample parts before production starts.
Yes. Mirrored pairs are produced where a housing takes one clip on each side.
Our production range starts at 0.1 mm wire, which covers miniature clips used in electronics and instruments.
Send your drawing, your sample or your dimensions. Clips that hold position without a fastener.
