About us
Thiede Elektronik GmbH is a family-owned company based in Ampfing in Upper Bavaria. Founded in 1970, it has been manufacturing adapters for "End Of Line" test benches, high-voltage (HV) contact systems, complete systems and test cable harnesses for over four decades. The company serves renowned automotive and truck manufacturers as well as their strategic suppliers worldwide; the products are used in manually interlocked through fully automatic test benches and must sometimes withstand millions of test cycles. The value chain covers consulting and feasibility assessment, 3D design (CAD), 3D prototyping, and single-item and medium-volume production of 200–300 pieces in the company's own milling center. A key focus is the patented technology for tolerance compensation with small miniature test plugs, as well as high-current components and contact systems for electric vehicles between battery and motor. The portfolio is rounded off by quality assurance, database-based documentation, and maintenance and service.

Processes & Manufacturing
NC milling
Prototypes, test adapters and single items through medium series are manufactured in the company's own milling center with short turnaround times.
3D design
Using VISI-CAD, SolidWorks, Mechanical Desktop and Hypermill as well as all common data formats.
3D prototyping
Production of sample parts to rule out interference contours at an early stage.
High-voltage contact systems
Contact systems and connections between battery and motor for electric vehicles.
