RFQs should include sample quantity, target annual volume, drawing or reference model and project timeline.
FAQ
Common questions
Common procurement and engineering questions related to this topic.
Should terminals be included in a harness connector RFQ?
Yes. Housing and terminal should be reviewed together because crimp quality and terminal retention affect reliability.
What if I only have a connector photo?
A photo can start the review, but pin count, wire size, application and mating part information are also needed.
