Your Guide to Customized Press-Fit and Crimp Terminals

terminals

Electrical terminals play a critical role in every interconnect system. Whether used in automotive electronics, industrial equipment, new energy systems, or consumer devices, the quality of a terminal directly affects conductivity, mechanical stability, and long-term reliability.

With 23 years of precision manufacturing experience, FPIC provides a full range of customized terminals, including press-fit terminals, composite terminals, crimp terminals, and special terminals designed for complex applications. Our comprehensive R&D and automated production capabilities allow us to support both rapid prototyping and high-volume mass production for global customers.

Why Terminals Matter in Modern Electronics

As devices become more compact and performance-driven, terminals must deliver:

  • Stable electrical conductivity

  • Mechanical strength under vibration

  • Heat resistance and corrosion resistance

  • Precise tolerances for automated assembly

  • Long-term durability over thousands of cycles

High-quality terminals ensure secure connections and reduce failure rates in demanding environments such as automotive, industrial automation, robotics, and energy storage systems.

FPIC’s terminal solutions are engineered to meet these requirements under strict automotive-grade standards.
