Real Project Snapshot

Scenario

A German industrial electrical systems integrator required cable harnesses for a high-volume annual program but faced sourcing constraints on specified connectors.

Challenge

The originally specified STOCKO connectors faced procurement limitations, and the required PTC components (EPCOS B59100A1080-A40) had a long 12-14 week lead time, threatening the overall project timeline for a 200kpcs/year program.

What we did

Proposed Lumberg connectors as a qualified alternative to STOCKO. Provided detailed specification comparisons and emphasized Lumberg's shorter MOQ and better delivery times to offset the PTC lead time bottleneck, while remaining transparent about the slightly higher price point of the alternative.

Outcome

The customer accepted the alternative for evaluation, agreeing to sample the Lumberg-based assemblies, which kept the high-volume annual program viable despite initial component sourcing bottlenecks.

Concrete numbers

  • 100kpcs/year per product (200kpcs total annual volume)
  • PTC model: EPCOS B59100A1080-A40
  • PTC lead time: 12-14 weeks
  • Connectors evaluated: STOCKO vs. Lumberg

Buyer Questions Before RFQ

What should we send to get an accurate quote?

Send your drawing, BOM, quantity forecast, application environment, and any required approvals. Missing inputs create avoidable assumptions in pricing and lead time.

Will your team review the design before production?

Yes. Engineering review happens before quotation so connector, flex-life, shielding, and routing risks are flagged before you commit.

Can you support prototype through volume release?

Yes. We support first samples, validation builds, and production ramp with traceability and test requirements kept aligned.
