The 48-hour connector assembly service offered by PEI-Genesis can help companies stay on schedule and reduce their acquisition cost
While there are some simple connectors that could be considered ‘standard’ products, very often today’s electronic systems require one or more complex multi-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 connector manufacturer might
sometimes be appropriate, but for anyone involved in product development and prototyping, manufacturers’ typical lead times of 10-12 weeks are likely to cause unacceptable delays.
In addition, the minimum order quantities (MOQs) specified
by manufacturers may well exceed the actual requirement. With the financial pressures of the current economic climate, few companies can afford the luxury of carrying unnecessary additional inventory.
PEI-Genesis has its customer’s schedule in mind. PEI- Genesis’
twin ISO 9001 connector assembly plants in Europe and North America build over 8.8 million connectors a year. They guarantee product availability by bonding dedicated components for their customer, not a shared pool. On average,

they can assemble connectors in a little over a day. So whether their customer needs it in 48 hours or 4 weeks, their customers have product there when they need it.
PEI-Genesis offers 48-hour assembly across a wide range of connectors
PEI-Genesis can build over 12 million unique connectors,
every day a rate of over 5,000 per hour, assembled from its $60 million component inventory. There are noMOQs at all. Using proprietary automation assembly machinery for speed, consistency, and quality, it can build 1 piece or 10,000 pieces with equal ease; built to aMil Spec, a commercial spec, or the customer’s own specification, and the same 48-hour service applies to every order.
Focused on military, industrial, medical, aerospace,
transportation, energy, construction, lighting, automotive, and space industries, PEI-Genesis’ team of dedicated engineers is at their customer’s disposal to ensure their designs work. With a philosophy of being a partner, and not just selling parts, they help their customers reduce acquisition cost, inventory liability, and lead times, simplify assembly, and improve the quality and reliability of their designs.
