Cold-forming expertise
Luvata’s advanced cold-forming equipment and proprietary tooling designs are combined with our vertical integration of high-purity copper alloys. The proprietary tooling is internally designed by Luvata involving over a hundred components used in the most advanced cold-forming equipment available in the marketplace today.
This combination of tooling and cold-forming expertise offers Luvata customers many choices in delivering the exact product for the exact application, along with consistent quality, performance and reliability from the first connector to the last.
One of the biggest advantages of cold forming versus machining is that the typical Luvata customer experience has been 70% reduction in scrap.
Advantages of oxygen-free copper
Oxygen-free copper has a higher conductivity over tellurium (C14500) and sulphur copper (C14700), allowing for higher current carrying capability over these alloys without overheating.
If you are looking for nickel tin, nickel, silver or gold over molded terminal connectors or crimp style solid copper connectors for battery swapping or quick connect systems, we can help you. Barrel or rack plating is available for all parts.
