Most manufacturers make standardized electronic connectors since they are easier to produce and meet client needs. However, sometimes, consumers are looking for a connector fitting personalized configurations. A corporation may need a part utilizing four pins, instead of 14 or a company may be desiring a component utilizing 7 signals and pins, instead of the “regular” 10. Thankfully, this service, known as modular tooling, is available to those who partner with high-quality electronic connector manufacturers. 

 

 

Modular tooling is a form of customization for the electronic connector you are looking to buy. There are already variations of mating types, r/angle and straight being two examples. Other differences appear when it comes to the height of the connector, their housing and durability, and how fast they can process data and energy. But, sometimes, a client will need a personalized set of pins and/or signals. There are different standards other connector manufacturers provide, but Oupiin Group's modular tooling can customize the number of pins and signals to the smallest detail. 

 

Do you want a high-speed board-to-board connector using only 10 pins? Oupiin Group can provide that.

 

Do you want an automotive PCB socket with only seven or nine pins? Oupiin Group will ensure this is exactly what you obtain.

 

Do you want a high power card edge with more than two positions? Oupiin Group will match these specifications to the finest detail.  

 

In short, a connector involving the specs within the photo below this sentence can be modularly tooled.

 

Modular tooling is meant to ensure you obtain an electronic connector completely fulfilling its duties to you. We understand the need for little details to be modified, which is why we provide this service to everyone across the planet. Don't minimize your final product design, partner with an electronic connector manufacturer who can satisfy your technological needs and who will do their best to ensure you achieve your goal. But, how are these customized conditions different from the standard electronic connector? 

 

 

While the normal creation of electronic connectors is normally length to explain, Oupiin Group will summarize this process in two concise paragraphs. 

 

The designing of the electronic connector is the first step, which includes identifying its intended use, environmental conditions, electrical properties, and mechanical constraints. After this is chosen, the manufacturer's engineers will utilize their preferred computer-aided design (CAD) software to specify precise dimensions, the selection of materials, tolerances, and electrical properties. Using these specifications, a prototype will be created using 3D printing or CNC machining software. 

 

Once it is digitally crafted and blueprinted, the connector's physical attributes are determined, such as whether it will use a metal or plastic housing, which is then coated in, usually, cadmium, or two kinds of nickel—electroless or black zinc. Decision-makers and engineers will proceed to start crafting and inserting various components of the connector, such as pins, sockets, and insulators. When combined, the almost finished connector will be tested using rigorous standards and an assortment of environments it may deal with later in its lifetime. Finally, the connector will be mass-produced, packaged, and shipped off to clients. Simple process, right?

 

 

To the dismay of many electronic connector seekers, few connector manufacturers provide the opportunity to obtain something tailored to their exact needs and goals. Fortunately, Oupiin Group provides a modular tooling service to ensure you don't grow frustrated looking for an exact part. Consider partnering with us to use our modular tooling program for your connector specifications.
