Product development

A major function of our technical engineering department is to convert customer drawings for the manufacturing process; developing work instructions, bills-of-materials, internal drawings, etc., to enable a smooth and accurate transition to a manufactured product. As part of this initial process we also add value where design for manufacture is required.

As a subcontract-manufacturing organisation it is vital that we fully understand our customers’ requirements which is why, when an assembly is being manufactured for the first time, it is meticulously checked and evaluated to ensure accuracy and compliance with all relevant component standards. Our engineers are trained to be ‘proactive’ and if they believe that an enhanced or more cost effective solution is available, then they will offer it to the customer.

When required Connect-2 Technology can also provide help and support from the outset of the design process, through to the pre-production stage, by jointly developing solutions and providing samples to ensure that projects are realised in a speedy and effective manner. Customer feedback is documented and filed as part of the requirements of our ISO 9001:2000 accreditation.

Long-term reliable electrical connections

Many of our customers require considerable numbers of straightforward single lengths of wire processed with a wide variety of end-preparation options, ranging from insulated and un-insulated crimped terminals to precision tin-dipped ends and/or simple strip-length preparation.

An important factor in providing long-term reliable electrical connections is to ensure that all wiring is manufactured to the terminal manufacturers recommended specifications and tolerances. This will include precision cutting and stripping of the wire and crimp termination being made using only the correct tooling and strict conformance with the terminal manufacturers recommended tool settings. It is surprising how many times we still receive customer samples (either manufactured by customers themselves or second parties) with incorrectly applied crimp connections that may look OK visually but would not go anywhere close to the recommended pull-off force.

The quality practices and disciplines within Connect-2 Technology ensure customers always receive product manufactured to comply with specific recommended pull-off forces, ensuring long-term reliable connections.

We utilise a wide range of high-speed wire processing and termination equipment to enable fast and efficient production of medium/large quantities of terminated and/or prepared single wires quickly and accurately. Our tooling bank covers a vast range of both insulated and un-insulated terminals from AMP, Cembre, Elcon, Harting, JST, Molex, Takbro, etc.

We supply customers across many industry sectors including: - Aerospace and Defence, Communications & Data, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Control, Instrumentation, Power & Energy, Rail and Transportation. Typically, single wire ranges are from 0.03mm2 to 10mm2 (32AWG – 8AWG) for automated processing and up to 120mm2 with hydraulic cutting and termination.
