Expertise: High-precision punching
Overview
Stamping of custom contacts for connectors
Stamped contacts are manufactured in our stamping shop using automatic stamping machines that we have developed and built ourselves. This ensures maximum cost-effectiveness and flexibility. It also allows us to maintain comprehensive oversight of the quality of the stamping process. Our goal is
to achieve the perfect combination of tooling and machinery.
Our highly qualified employees operate our presses and automatic stamping machines at ept locations around the world. This enables us to stamp many billions of parts annually worldwide.

Press release
Rosenberger and ept are developing automotive hybrid connectors 05.08.2024Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik GmbH & Co. KG (“Rosenberger”) and ept GmbH (“ept”) are combining their expertise to jointly develop hybrid connectors for automotive applications. By integrating the strengths of both companies, the newly developed hybrid connector system offers a wide range of benefits for OEMs and their suppliers. Additional benefits may include space savings, enhanced reliability under challenging environmental conditions, and simplified assembly processes.
Connectors - Reliability Beyond Specifications 25.03.2022Industrially manufactured goods are increasingly coming under scrutiny. In addition to high quality standards and compliance with technical specifications, the environmental sustainability of all elements of the supply chain is becoming increasingly important. The market for connectors is no exception. ept GmbH has traditionally coordinated all production and delivery processes in such a way that, in addition to the highest level of quality, all conceivable criteria of sustainable corporate management are also met.
Contact surfaces - High performance is possible even with less gold 25.03.2022When the absolute reliability of a connector must be guaranteed over the long term even under demanding operating and environmental conditions, gold-plated contact surfaces remain the first choice. In many applications, however, performance requirements can also be met using a plating system that requires a lower gold content.
How to Protect Components with the Right Process and Connectors 25.03.2022The electronics industry is undergoing a transformation: whether in the automotive sector, solar and wind power, or industrial automation, electrification is taking place across all sectors. However, with the steady increase in connectivity, the number of electronic failures has also risen in recent years—by as much as 29%, according to the Center for Automotive Research. Depending on the expected environmental influences, component protection for electronic components is therefore necessary. This ensures that the electronics are reliably protected—but to achieve this, users also need a connection solution that is compatible with potting compounds.
Board-to-board connectors: From rugged to high-speed 25.03.2022Is your single-board solution no longer sufficient? With our board-to-board connectors, you gain the freedom to expand your single-board solutions. We offer the right board-to-board connection for your specific application. The wide range of applications extends from rugged PCB connectors for hammer drills to high-speed board-to-board mezzanine connectors for high-tech computers. Our PCB-to-PCB connectors support data transfer rates ranging from 3 Gbit/s to 16+ Gbit/s, and they are available with pin counts from 12 to 440. When space precludes a direct board-to-board connection, the rugged One27 PCB connector also provides a wire-to-board option. Product innovation
Zero8 PCB connectors with maximum scalability! 25.03.2022Take advantage of maximum efficiency, contact reliability, signal integrity, speed, and durability starting today. You can customize the connector design, stacking height, number of pins, and shielding to meet your specific requirements. With ScaleX double-sided contact technology, you benefit from a fully scalable connector system.
Factors Affecting the Durability of Board-to-Board Connectors 25.03.2022We explain how board-to-board connectors achieve durability and what factors influence a connector’s durability. This will help you prepare your PCB connectors to withstand any stress.
