Hi everyone

Has anyone out there had experience with hybrid circuits ?  If so, then I would like help concerning the obtaining of some pins for hybrid circuits.

These pins are soldered along each side of the hybrid circuit's substrate material, (which is white - which I assume is some kind of alumina and/or ceramic-based material, and is extremely brittle).

The "standard" pins we are using at the moment are broader at one end than the other, and measure about 11mm long.  They are 0.5mm wide at the narrow end, and about 1.4mm wide at the opposite end.  The length of the broader section is 2.6mm, (which is included in the 11mm total length).

I imagine that they are manufactured by a stamping machine, and produced as one strip, with a continuous length of metal along one edge, to provide a break-off strip once the pins have been attached to the hybrid circuit.

My question is: Does anyone know where I can obtain strips of hybrid pins (that I can supply to a hybrid circuit assembler as part of a kit of parts for manufacture) similar to that described, but with a wider section (1.4mm wide) that is 8mm to 8.5mm of the total length (11mm) ?

Your help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in anticipation
