Connector manufacturing process control affects dimensional accuracy, electrical performance, mechanical reliability and production consistency. The main connector manufacturing processes include machining, stamping, surface treatment, plastic molding and connector assembly. Production cost usually comes from four areas: materials, process requirements, contact gold-plating thickness and engineering or assembly services. This guide explains how each process is controlled and why these factors affect the total cost of a push-pull connector project. It also outlines the information buyers should provide when requesting a connector quotation or custom manufacturing solution.
