Precision Metal Components for Consumer Electronics & Wearables
Consumer electronics and wearable devices require precision-stamped components that hold tight tolerances at production volumes where tooling stability and process consistency determine whether a program runs smoothly or generates chronic yield problems. The transition from prototype to high-volume production is where dimensional requirements become harder to meet, and tooling that was adequate for a development run often requires significant rework before it can support a production line.
Brunk supports consumer electronics programs from initial prototype through high-volume production, with in-house tooling that allows design iterations to be incorporated without the lead time and communication overhead of an outside tool shop.
Connector Components & Spring Contacts
Precision-stamped contacts, spring terminals, and connector hardware for consumer electronics programs. Charging connectors, data contacts, SIM and memory card contacts, spring-loaded pins. Parts that have to make consistent electrical contact in a form factor that doesn’t leave much room for error.
The micro-precision capability we built for medical device contacts translates directly here. The difference is cycle volume and speed to market. Both are things we can support.
Electrical Connectors: Types, Features, and Industry Uses
Electrical connectors form the physical bridge for power and signal between subsystems, packing reliability into compact, serviceable interfaces. In Internet of Things devices, common connector families include:
Board-to-board: mezzanine and card-edge connectors for compact internal interconnects.
Wire-to-board: headers and receptacles for modular harnesses and field replacement.
Circular connectors: robust, sealed interfaces (often IP67/68) for industrial and outdoor use.
RJ45 (Ethernet): twisted-pair networking, sometimes with integrated magnetics to enhance signal integrity.
USB (Micro, USB‑C): power delivery and data for peripherals and gateways.
Coaxial (SMA/U.FL): RF links for antennas supporting Wi‑Fi, LTE, or LPWAN.
Terminal blocks: secure, tool-accessible connections for control panels and sensors.
AR/VR Headset Components
AR/VR headsets demand precision-stamped metal components within strict weight and packaging constraints. Brunk's in-house tooling supports fast design iteration without sacrificing dimensional accuracy — producing multiple generations of components for one of the world's largest technology companies.
Wearable Device Components
Ultra-thin stamped components for hearables, smartwatches, fitness bands, and AR/VR devices. Battery contacts, sensor clips, button springs, and micro-connectors at the tolerances compact wearable form factors require.
Materials
Stainless steel, titanium, MP35N, copper alloys, red metals, and other conductive and structural alloys suited to sterilizable, high-cycle surgical and endoscopic applications.
Structural Components & Shielding
Stamped structural components and EMI shielding for consumer electronics enclosures, modules, and assemblies. Stainless steel cases, aluminum brackets, spring steel clips, and copper alloy shielding cans. When shielding geometry gets complex, we build the tooling to hold it. Sixty-plus journeyman toolmakers in house means we are not sending precision problems to a vendor list. We own the solution. Materials: stainless steel, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, brass, aluminum alloys, copper alloys, spring steel.
