In lower quantities I have been impressed with what can be done with
etching technology.  Since the leads you want are flat, that's another
avenue.

Subject: [TN] Supplier for Leads...

Hi All!
 
We build survival radios here, "Prick-90's". Those of you who have flown
in the military know them well.
 
We build a lot of little modules that go into these radios, then the
modules have a frame or housing installed on them, and then the whole
kit and kaboodle goes into the radios.
 
We have the housings built by a company in South America, and we supply
them with the leads that go into the housings...their specialty is
plastic. But now they've run out of leads. The story is that we bought a
bazzillion of them years ago, and now nobody knows where they were
purchased from. So I've been asked if I know of anyplace that makes
things like this. I've got a photo of the housing with the leads here:

It's just a flattened piece of tin plated copper/iron alloy per ASTM
B465 that is .270" long, .018" wide, and .010" thick. 
 
I've got a call into Interplex NAS. Is there anyplace else I might check
out for these leads?
 
TIA!
 
Steve Gregory
