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.

Supply Chain Counterfeit Awareness in Military Cable Assembly and Manufacturing

Counterfeit parts continue to threaten the security of the military. As counterfeit electronic component detection and avoidance measures are increasingly tightened by electronic manufacturers, counterfeiters are developing new ways to work fake parts into the supply chain.

How On-Site Engineers Impact Your Military Electronic Assembly

Current estimates show about one-third of military defense spending is for electronics. This means companies that provide military grade electronic assemblies must be on top of their game if they are to provide reliable, long-lasting electronic assemblies that meet the standards of aerospace and military. You don't want to trust just any electronic contract manufacturer with your turnkey electronic assembly. You will know you are working with the right company if they have on-site engineers. When an ECM employs engineers who are in-house, it can mean a big difference between just a finished product and a robust product that is ready for battle.

What to Look for in a Government PCB Manufacturing Partner

A lot of time, energy, and resources go into the design and development of an electronic product for government, military, and aerospace applications. Say you've reached a critical phase in development and you need an ECM you can trust. You don't want to leave anything to chance. But who can you trust for your all-important PCB manufacturing? You want an electronic contract manufacturer (ECM) that will not only meet your expectations but exceed them. Here are some things to look for when choosing a PCB manufacturing partner for your government project.

How to Combat Counterfeit Parts in Your Government PCB Assembly

The world of counterfeit electronic parts is a multibillion-dollar industry that doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. It is a problem the Department of Defense has been battling for years. Counterfeit components put military personnel and missions at risk. In an effort to mitigate this risk, the DOD has strict regulations in place for government and military electronic suppliers. This means you must be vigilant when it comes to the assembly of your printed circuit boards. Luckily, with extra time and effort, and choosing the right contract manufacturer, you can combat counterfeit parts in your government PCB assembly.

Design Considerations for Military and Aerospace PCB Assembly

In today's technologically advanced world, almost everything is made better, smaller, and more durable through the use of printed circuit boards, or PCBs. You'll find them in televisions, computers, stereos, digital clocks, microwaves, and even cell phones.

Employee Spotlight Mark Visetchaisi

Here at Levison Enterprises, we consider ourselves lucky to have the staff we have. We owe a great part of our success to the hard work of everyone involved with our business. Our company just wouldn't be the same without employees like Mark Visetchaisi, who joined our family here at Levison Enterprises this year as a Quality Manager and has already contributed significantly to our efforts and to our culture.

Is Your ECM Capable of Military Grade Cable Assembly?

Cables aren't usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think of military electronics. However, defense devices are useless without a way to power them. Enter the cable assembly. They can be used or anything from military ground equipment and field communication links to remote weapons control links and marine and airborne systems.

What Makes PCB Assembly for Defense and Military Unique?

Not all assembly of printed circuit boards is created equal. Different markets need to be handled differently. Such is the case for military PCB assembly. The nature of war is changing and the tools soldiers use in the battlefield must keep up. The PCBs must be as rugged and durable as the military personnel who use them. This means there are a lot of considerations that must be kept in mind during the PCB assembly process for defense and military.
