Custom Solutions From EDAC

The connector market offers a huge range of products for every industry. From the tiniest data and signal connections to high power solutions for the most demanding environments, the connector industry creates products for applications in every walk of life.

Even with such a broad scope of products, there will always come a time when the perfect option is not available. At other times, engineers can find a tried and trusted connector solution is now obsolete and no longer available. In these circumstances, engineers are faced with the choice of redesigning their product to use a standard connector or selecting a custom-made solution.

Custom Solutions

In the modern world of mass production and rapid delivery, the idea of a customized design can seem out of place. Customers often assume that a custom product will be expensive or time consuming. However, trying to use a standard product can bring with it problems of its own.

Redesigning a piece of equipment to accommodate an existing connector is not a simple exercise. This might include altering a housing to fit a different connector, changing the electronic circuitry, or even creating a brand-new printed circuit board layout. All of these changes will introduce delays and engineering costs that could impact a customer’s time-to-market.

Simple Changes to Make the Ideal Connector

The alternative is to choose a connector that has been optimized for the engineer’s design. Creating the right connector might mean a simple change, such as an altered pin length, a change in plating thickness or even just a new colour to aid identification. The ability to customize the right connector can even offer valuable space saving.
