Warm hand-off

LinkScope Sourcing 38 reads the brief you type here

This page is the full hand-off. The inquiry dialog elsewhere is a narrow box with no map. Here you can see the steps, the channels that exist, and the form underneath the cards.

Written brief

The form on this page is the controlled channel. Specification, quantity, destination, and timing belong in the requirement box.

Reply path

Use the work email you type. No separate mailbox is published, so a message sent elsewhere will not attach to this drawing.

Phone and hours

No phone number is published. Briefs are read on US business days. A clock time on the form is not a factory ship promise.

Social and map

No social account takes quotations. The picture is a review bench, not a street address. Do not treat a public pin as this desk.

Illustrated review bench with sealed connectors and a blank brief
  1. You submit the connector family, quantity, destination, and timing.
  2. The desk checks whether seal, contact, and plating fields are complete enough to send outward.
  3. Plants that receive the packet answer on that basis. Deviations come back as deviations.
  4. You compare the replies. This site does not select the factory.

Fields that belong next to the price question

Connector family, contact count, pitch, current and voltage, termination, mating cycles, keying, plating, IP rating, and the wire or PCB interface. Quantity and the US destination. Expected timing.

An optional budget needs a currency and a basis: per piece or the whole order. High-end, mid-range, budget, or undecided describes the replies you want to see. It is not a score, and you can send the brief before any plant has priced it.

If a drawing will not fit, say so in the requirement field. The form has no upload. Useful numbers to type when you know them: IEC 60529 IP67 as 1 m for 30 minutes only if that is your requirement, IP68 with the plant's own depth and minutes, plating such as 0.76 micrometres of gold versus flash gold, current in amperes, and system voltage at 12 V or 24 V when the harness uses those rails. A mating-cycle count of 100 or 500 is incomplete without the current and the plating unit. Say whether you want the original housing, which tracks a released drawing more closely, or a compatible shell, which is usable only after pinout, keying, and the seal are checked on the mating half. Say whether contacts are new or the body is surplus or refurbished, and ask for remaining mating cycles if the body is not new. Leave a cell blank rather than guessing.
