PEI-Genesis explains how its 48-hour connector assembly service helps avoid product development delays
While there are some simple connectors that could be considered ‘standard’ products, today’s electronic systems often require one ormore complexmulti-pin connectors whose configuration is specific to the application in hand.
As well as the connector’s electrical performance, there are
many mechanical variables to consider, including shell style and size, coupling mechanism, contact style and size and number and arrangement of contacts. By definition, these complex connectors cannot be purchased ‘off the shelf’ but have to be assembled to order.
Dealing direct with a connectormanufacturer is sometimes
appropriate, but for anyone involved in product development and prototyping,manufacturers’ typical lead times of 10 to 12 weeks are likely to cause unacceptable delays.
Minimumorder quantities (MOQs) specified bymanufacturers can
also exceed the actual requirement. In the current economic climate, fewcompanies can afford to carry unnecessary additional inventory.
If the requirement is urgent, the best approach is to use a franchised connector-assembly specialist like PEI-Genesis, who can
assemble the exact connector configuration needed and despatch it within 48 hours fromreceipt of order.
The company achieves this by carrying amassive $60million
inventory of connector components and developing its own machines to automate the connector assembly process. There are noMOQs and the same 48-hour service applies to every order, whether for one connector or hundreds.
Primarily serving the industrial, railway, aerospace and defence
sectors, PEI-Genesis works in close partnership with connector manufacturers such as Amphenol, ITT Interconnect Solutions (Cannon and VEAM), Glenair and Polamco, so customers receive products of the highest quality.
Available across a range of products, the rapid connector-
assembly service offered by PEI-Genesis can play a significant role in helping companies to shorten their development cycles and reduce the time it takes to get new products tomarket.
