Industry:
North American Consumer - Electronics Product Manufacturer
Application:
Jumper with pin-through connectors at each end
Opportunity:
Customer needed a supplier of a simple jumper with connectors attached. They were not even sure if their previously-built parts contained or required plated through holes or not? At times customers come to FCT with more questions than answers or with varied skills or they may not have the internal engineering expertise that they would like. In these cases, it is our job to help and to do what we are able to get to the solution that will best meet the customer’s needs.
Solution:
FCT worked through the application with the customer by gaining a detailed understanding for the application requirements and design; we then developed and got confirmation on the design and then built First Articles in front of an order for 1,000 assemblies.
Result:
The First Article parts were accepted and FCT has completed production of the first 1000 assemblies. The customer communicated to FCT the following: The parts appear to work well and cosmetically they are great…. I really like working with you guys… we’ve approved the cables, they look terrific and the quality is excellent.
