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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fast Isn't Always Better - What's Really Important in PCB Manufacturing

Not all contractors are created equal when it comes to PCB manufacturing. Many electronic contract manufacturers will make big promises of quick turnaround and cost savings. But sometimes making good on these promises causes assembly and fabrication services to suffer. That could lead to more unnecessary costs, missed deadlines, and major frustration. You want to work with someone who will get it right the first time. Look at the big picture when considering an ECM to partner with for your PCB manufacturing. Keeping in mind what's most important will lead you to the right ECM for your project.
