Sourcing ELECTRONICS
When time is ticking
Connector-assembly specialists play a crucial role in reducing time-to-market, says PEI-Genesis
48-hour assembly is available for a wide range of connectors
Inmost areas of the electronics market, there is
a division between the role of themanufacturer and that of the distributor. Themanufacturer is responsible for design, production, quality-assurance and testing, whereas the distributor carries finished products and provides rapid delivery.
When considering complexmulti-pin connectors however, the
distinction becomes blurred. Due to the number of different configurations for each type of connector, it is inconceivable for a distributor to have every variant sitting on the shelf, waiting to be picked, packaged and posted to a desperate customer.
Instead, the quickest way to obtain an exact connectormatch is
to deal with a connector assembly specialist. Companies like PEI-Genesis are distributors in that they have
franchise agreements with connectormanufacturers and carry large stocks of their products, but, crucially, they carry themat
component level rather than as finished items. PEI-Genesis holds a $60million inventory of connector piece-parts frommanufacturers such as Amphenol, ITT Interconnect Solutions Cannon and VEAM, Glenair and Polamco.
Connectors are only assembled once an order is placed and this
enables PEI-Genesis to supply almost any connector variant. The assembly process involves a number ofmanufacturing
procedures, including bonding rubber inserts, loading contacts, printing, heat curing, inspection and testing. Yet PEI-Genesis is able to complete and despatch products in less than 48 hours. There are nominimumorder quantities and the same turnaround applies to every order, whether for one connector or hundreds.
In effect, connector assembly specialists combine the roles of
manufacturer and distributor.
