Needles and pins... Where to find them?

Apr 27, 2010 4 Replies

We are on the lookout for some quite thin (0.4mm/0.016") straight needles or ejector pins. The pins will be between 40-50mm long when finished (imagine a syringe needle without the hole) Good strength and straightness is the primary factor. Pre cut to length would be nice, but is not a must.



Any ideas where to find stuff like that? I've been googling my brain out to no avail.

Would a gage pin work? They are 2" OAL.

Looks interesting. Right now we're looking into using straightened wire which is dirt cheap, but if the customer wants better quality, a gage pin could be the way to go.

Thanks.
