A general purpose metal spring clip in spring steel, produced to customer specification for industrial and hardware assemblies. It is the workhorse of the clip category, specified by the job it does rather than by a shape family.
Tell us what has to be held and where, and the clip geometry follows from that rather than from a catalogue page.
Wire from 0.1 to 8 mm, covering miniature electronics clips through to substantial industrial retention.
Programmed forming keeps clip force consistent across large production runs, which is what machine-fed assembly requires.
Give each clip variant its own part number, even when the difference is small. Visually similar clips with different forces cause assembly errors that are expensive to trace.
Clip force drifting across a large production run
Several similar clips in one factory with no way to tell them apart
Dimensional and load figures are set per order against your drawing or sample, so they are marked TBC rather than filled with catalogue numbers.

Every batch follows the same seven step route, with tensile testing and magnetic powder flaw detection carried out before packing.
Available in Stainless steel, Spring steel, Carbon steel, 65Mn, Music wire, in wire from 0.1-8 mm, with any of our nine surface finishing routes. Geometry, end treatment and finish are all specified per order.
ISO 9001, SGS certificate and RoHS report (stated on the legacy site, certificates pending re-confirmation). Certificate copies are sent on request once re-confirmed.
Against the wire form clip, this is the same process and material family, described by function rather than shape. In practice most enquiries resolve into one or the other during sampling.
Coloured plating is a practical way to distinguish similar clips on the line.
Tell us your quantity and we will quote it. Automatic forming makes repeat volume production the natural fit.
Force is sampled through the run rather than only at the start, which is what catches gradual drift.
Send your drawing, dimensions or a sample. We will confirm the specification and come back with a price and a lead time.
