Telecoms
From the very beginnings of telecommunication, Brandauer has played a role in supplying, manufacturing, and even developing the components that have served the industry globally. With the continued development and expansion of this industry, Brandauer still plays a key role in ensuring the world stays connected.
These developments are not just within telephone communications. The last 10 years has seen expansive growth in streaming platforms and cloud data requirements; all these capabilities demand high speed signal transmitting without the loss of signal integrity.
For Brandauer, solutions heavily lie within the connectors and housing elements such as ethernet connectors, mobile phone interconnects, network system components, IDC pin connectors, insertable blade connectors, and much more.
Connectors to keep you connected
Brandauer’s main capability within this industry relies on the connectors and contacts in many different solutions. They are essential to many key pieces of telecommunications hardware and would not be functional without the presence of these electrical connectors.
Some typical connectors seen within this industry are:
Ethernet connector contacts
Connector contacts
IDC pin connectors
Blade connectors
Spring contacts
PCB terminals
Network switches
Another notable point within the telecoms connector industry is Brandauer’s license to manufacture EloPin®, a push-fit connector pin that allows for solderless connections into PCB boards, enabling a seamless gas-tight connection between two components.
With a range of potential needle eye configurations and full customisation of the pin handle, each EloPin® product can be bespoke to a range of customer specifications, ensuring each EloPin® can accommodate every project.
Telecoms case study
Connecting the world through copper
Component name = Phosphor Bronze (CuSn6) connector terminals
Volume = 100-200m parts per annum
Value = $500,000 USD per annum
Problem
When the customer was previously stamping these connectors, the work hardening of the copper during the process was giving an inconsistency in the pin tip profile coining. This provided an inefficient contact on the connector.
Solution
Brandauer has over 60 years of stamping copper, meaning when this project was brought to the company, we could easily identify the current issues and put in a plan to quickly fix them for the customer. Our expertise in carbide tooling for bespoke, high-volume production ultimately led to a collaboration with the end user on a proprietary tip coining process – with retained IP rights.
