About Autosplice
Autosplice is a global manufacturer of electromechanical interconnect solutions with business units in engineering, precision stamping, plastic injection molding, interconnect assembly and automation. The portfolio comprises Press-Fit compliant pins, stamped clips and terminals (0.0254–1.524 mm material thickness), Drawn-Wire pins on continuous reel, injection-molded custom headers and connector modules, splice/crimp technology (Spliceband) as well as SMT products such as shield clips, solderball pins and spring contacts. In addition, proprietary pin insertion machines (MicroSert, MiniSert, MultiSert, AIS series) and sub-assembly services including PCBA, cable harnesses and overmolding are offered. Materials include phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, copper, nickel-silver, stainless steel, brass and CuNiSi (C19010) for Press-Fit applications. Customers come from automotive, commercial vehicles, medical technology, telecommunications, metering and control technology and consumer electronics. The site network includes Auburn Hills (USA, headquarters), Langenzenn (Germany, European sales), Tijuana (Mexico), Dongguan (China), Tokyo and Siheung (Korea).
