What are the Differences Between ISO9001 and AS9100?

Spend enough time around ECMs and you are sure to see terms like ISO9001 or AS9100 pop up. ECMs that have earned those certifications follow rigorous standards for quality, but you may have wondered what those certifications stand for, and why it matters.

Outsource Your Medical Device Manufacturing with Confidence

Over the last decade, the medical device industry has experienced exponential growth. However, as the market has grown, there have been a number of factors driving costs and expenses up as well. Staying on the cutting edge of the industry also means maintaining profitability. Increasingly, more and more companies are turning to outsourcing to stay flexible in an exploding field.

Exploring the Difference Between Cable Assemblies and Wire Harnesses

To the layperson, cable assemblies and wire harnesses sound like the same thing. The fact that the terms get thrown around interchangeably by those in the know contribute to the confusion. But while the two share many similarities, there is a difference. The basic differences between the two come down to what they are built for. One exists for purely organizational simplicity, while the other is designed to offer more protection from the environment. There are other more technical differences as well.

Benefits of Custom Cable Assembly

When a generic cable assembly isn’t fitting your needs perfectly, it may be time for you to consider stepping up to a custom cable assembly that is designed, engineered, and manufactured for your specific needs. There are a number of advantages to going the custom-design route, and all of them bring benefits to your project.

How Important is Functional Testing in PCB Manufacturing?

After all the designing, testing, simulating, and prototyping, there's one last step before PCBs go to assembly. In a field where error testing and stomping out defects is a never ending quest for perfection, functional testing represents the last opportunity to get things just right.

How Counterfeit Parts Affect Your Printed Circuit Boards

In our ever-evolving technological world, we put our lives in the hands of many different electronic components every day. Modes of transportation, our home electronics, and even our office and work spaces are often in the hands of all types of electronics. We may never give their performance a second thought, but would you feel different if you knew they contained counterfeit parts?

Benefits of Prototyping Your Government Cable Assembly

When dealing with government cable assembly manufacturing, there's no room for surprises. That's why our experienced design and engineering team at Levison Enterprises puts your assembly design through rigorous testing and prototyping. One of Levison's advantages as a one-stop-shop for all your custom cable assemblies is that we see the process through from beginning to end. There's no third party assembly or design team.

Benefits of Full-Service Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies

If you are in electronic manufacturing, you know how important the right components can be to your finished product. If the backbone of your manufactured goods aren't strong, your reputation is on the line. That's why having a cable and wire harness assembly partner you can trust is so important. Having a rock-solid partner to handle your ECM needs frees you to worry about other things more important of your time.

What to Look for in a Government Cable Assembly Manufacturing Partner

When you've got a government cable assembly project on the horizon, the pressure is on. Obviously, a job of that magnitude is not going to be handled by some cable off the rack at your local DIY home improvement store. Finding the right partner to help you design, prototype, and manufacture the cable assembly has to know what they are doing, with the proper certifications to back up their claims. It can be a tricky process, but it's easy to alleviate that stress when you know what to look for in a government cable assembly manufacturer.

The Importance of Quality Control for Your Government Cable Assembly

Cable and wire assemblies are the backbone of any electronic application. If you are outsourcing cable and wire harness assemblies for government applications, there can be no substitute for quality and reliability. Simply put, your electronic components have to be rock-solid and ready to go when needed. For that reason alone, it's important to find a manufacturer that understands supply-chain management, and why it's important. Your cable assembly and electrical component demand nothing less.

How to Find a Reliable ECM for Your Aerospace PCB

For those who didn't see it live on television, the moon landing feels like a long time ago. However, it's recent history as far as the technology surrounding electricity and the bending of it to our will is concerned. Since the 1950s, the aerospace industry has made leaps and bounds forward, and all those leaps have been powered by advances in printed circuit board technology.

Building Robust Cable Assemblies for Military and Aerospace Applications

Robust cables are the heart of all sophisticated military electronic systems. Without them, military aircraft and troops in the desert could not maintain stable communication required to make every mission a success. The military needs cable assemblies as tough as the troops. More robust materials, such as insulations and jackets, are required for military applications. Unfortunately, not all cable assembly manufacturers understand this.
