Precision Stamping Solutions for Electric Vehicles
Vehicle Electrical System Precision Metal Stamped Parts
We specialize in providing custom busbars to meet the changing needs of the electric vehicle (EV) market, catering to both start-ups and established manufacturers. Our capabilities include a range of specialist processes such as powder coating, electroplating, lamination, assembled hardware and multi-part assembly to meet the unique requirements of electric vehicle battery technology. In addition, we meet the demand for stamped metal electrical connectors essential for sensors and cameras in autonomous driving systems, as well as lightweight metal stamping parts, battery housing electrical terminals, thin-layer metal stamping parts for electric vehicle motors, switching electrical contacts, and press pin terminal stamping parts for shielding parts of electric truck and automotive turbochargers.
Terminals
Car terminals are essential conductors that link different electrical components within a vehicle, facilitating seamless connectivity. Produced through progressive stamping, they are affixed to wire ends and integrated into wire harnesses. These terminals ensure electrical conductivity, mechanical resilience, and resistance to environmental stressors, thus emphasizing the significance of durable and high-quality car terminal connectors.
Bus-Bars
Bus bars are pivotal components in simplifying and enhancing power distribution systems, offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Typically housed within panel boards, busways, or switchgear, battery bus bars conduct electrical currents, allowing for branching off at various points along the route. These bars facilitate connectivity between high-voltage equipment, low-voltage devices, and electrical switchyards within battery banks. Often made from copper, bus bars are integral to distributing electricity throughout vehicles, including fuse boxes. Specializing in progressive die stamping, Keats ensures stable and cost-effective production of automotive bus bars. At Top Metal Stamping Manufacturing, we excel in fabricating copper bus bars tailored to your needs, offering pre- or post-plating options for enhanced corrosion resistance, guaranteeing reliability and longevity in automotive applications.
Automotive Hangers & Brackets
We utilize our metal stamping processes to create a variety of metal brackets essential for automotive applications. These brackets serve to secure various components such as door panels, fender assemblies, instrument panels, and airbags in place. Crafted from durable materials including steel and high-strength, oxidation-resistant alloys, our brackets ensure reliable and long-lasting performance in demanding automotive environments. Whether it's fastening door panels or securing airbags, our precision manufacturing processes guarantee the highest quality and functionality for automotive bracketry.
Wiring harnesses
Wiring harnesses function as the intricate nerve center of a vehicle, facilitating the transmission of power and signals to various components such as switches, sensors, and meters. With the increasing complexity of vehicles, particularly in terms of sensor integration, there is a growing demand for sophisticated wiring harnesses with expanded connection points. Our expertise lies in crafting custom stamped terminals and connectors that seamlessly integrate into wiring harnesses, catering to the evolving requirements of the electric vehicle market. We closely collaborate with clients to develop tailored solutions that ensure optimal performance and compatibility with modern vehicle systems
EV Switches
EV switches serve as crucial safety features in the vehicle's electrical system, effectively controlling the power supply to battery circuit systems. Designed to prevent accidental electrical shocks, these switches play a vital role in safeguarding both the vehicle and its surroundings. A prime example of automotive switches includes those used for window control, renowned for their high-performance safety features, including interlocking designs that prevent false power supply. Our offerings encompass essential components like spring terminals, ensuring the reliability and functionality of these switches in automotive applications.

Our Metal Stamping Services For The Renewable Energy
Cost-Effectiveness
Dies are designed once and require minimal maintenance, offering affordability and ease of upkeep. This enables the cost-effective production of high volumes of parts across various materials. Metal stamping facilitates long production runs with quick turnaround times, allowing for scalability and offsetting initial tooling and setup expenses
Material Efficiency
Metal stamping utilizes sheet metal for the manufacture of components. Working with this type of material prevents waste, as it doesn’t add excess metal to the part. Sheet metal stamping is also versatile and effective for many types of automotive components.
Involve Skilled, Precise Manufacturing
Our engineers leverage 3D CAD modeling software to design and produce dies in-house for progressive metal stamping production. This approach maximizes productivity and cost efficiency for our customers, particularly by reducing costs associated with design changes. We utilize specialized stamping presses for appliance metal stampings and CNC turning centers for turned metal components like shafts and pins.
Capabilities
We have a wide range of metal stamping capabilities for electric vehicles. They include:
Punching
Blanking
Embossing
Coining
Bending
Flanging
