Request automotive connector samples with the right engineering details
A sample request should include application, product requirement, drawing or reference model, quantity and validation needs. This helps avoid sending the wrong connector sample.
Sample request checklist
Product model, category or reference connector
Application and vehicle system
Pin count, terminal, wire size, seal and IP rating
Voltage/current, temperature and installation environment
Sample quantity, target schedule and approval requirement
Drawing, photo, old sample, mating part or competitor model if available
Validation
What should be checked after receiving samples
This gives buyers and WEUP sales engineers a shared validation language before bulk quotation.
Appearance and structure
Housing shape, keying, latch, seal, secondary lock and mating fit.
Terminal and wire fit
Terminal size, wire range, crimp wing, retention and insertion direction.
Electrical requirement
Voltage, current, signal type, contact path and temperature condition.
Environmental requirement
Waterproof rating, dust, vibration, engine bay, chassis or outdoor exposure.
Document readiness
Datasheet, drawing, STEP file, inspection checklist or compliance document request.
Turn sample needs into a clear RFQ
The sample request should connect back to product records, technical documents, quality requirements and the buyer project timeline.
