Metal spring contacts for header assemblies for electrical contacts in implantable devices

Spring Contacts for Header Assemblies

Hamilton Precision Metals specializes in engineering biocompatible, high-spring materials for electrical spring contacts that operate in the header assemblies of implantable medical devices. OEMs developing the next generation of active implantable devices rely on our precision-engineered spring contact and clip materials.

High-performance MP35N® strip for electrical contacts in header assemblies

Alloys

We manufacture high performance MP35N® strip that meets FDA and ASTM medical specifications. Our engineering experts process this strip to the exacting requirements of our medical spring contact customers.

Sizes

Precision strip engineered from 1.5mm (0.060”) down to 1.5 microns (0.000060”) in thickness. Intricate spring clips, utilizing MP35N® strip in critical medical applications

Application

Our materials are engineered for the electrical contact, which is molded into a device header. This header assembly facilitates a uniform, consistent electrical connection between the lead and the battery in active implantable devices. Implantable medical devices include cardiac and neuromodulation products, and defibrillators.

High Ductility for Intricate Spring Clips

MP35N® strip offers advantageous properties for this critical application. It has excellent corrosion resistance, good toughness and high ductility. Stamped parts such as spring clips and electronic contacts can be processed in the ductile form for intricate parts
