Points to consider during the manufacturing phase of new connector design and development!

In the previous article, we shared the engineering design stage of new connector product development, which is a specific stage of connector product development, and the next stage is the manufacturing stage of connectors. In this article, Huicheng Yuan Connector Manufacturers mainly share with you the key points to consider in the design, development and manufacturing stage of new connectors! This phase requires personnel with extensive experience in manufacturing and materials management disciplines, the connector product design during this process has been well documented and detailed drawings of products and tools have been completed, the development team's will emphasize coordination with component suppliers and finalization of assembly tools and equipment, the tool design will be based on sales forecasts and connector design requirements.

The initial parts of the connector are manufactured from production tools, the finished product is tested, evaluated, and finally placed on the shelf for the initial release of the product, and connectors that meet all specified design requirements are manufactured and tested to verify connector performance. Performance and specifications for connector products are generally developed and released after proper testing of production components has been completed. While connector performance problems in customer applications are the result of products not being manufactured according to specified design requirements, manufacturing process verification that can reduce this risk shows that the process has the ability to consistently produce products that meet specifications and ensure that product design goals can be achieved. Ideally this affects the lifetime of the entire connector product, keeping a record of the initial process validation for future reference. Process validation actually starts much earlier, with manufacturing designs having to be considered during the engineering phase of new connector product development, and both connector product design engineers and manufacturing engineers have to ensure that the design can meet performance goals and can be manufactured consistently. This is an essential element of risk management during connector product design and development, and if a risk assessment determines that the necessary manufacturing technology has not been fully developed and validated, a manufacturing process development project should be conducted prior to proceeding with the proposed design. At the end of process validation, connector product development team members prepare and review a report summarizing the results, which confirms that in addition to product quality requirements, manufacturing cost and quantity targets can be consistently achieved. Material management, purchasing, and manufacturing personnel play an important role at this stage, such as new connector product release lead times are affected by material and tooling availability, and delaying receiving only one component may affect the planned market release of the product. Finally, the number of connector products required to support the planned sales is determined, and advertising brochures, product catalogs, press releases, test reports, etc. are also planned and prepared at this stage to prepare for the release of new connector products.
