Increasing performance requirements, limited installation space and strict regulations are pushing many electronic developments to the limits of what is feasible. Standard components often no longer cover all of the diverse requirements. What is needed are connection solutions that are precisely tailored to the application, environment and process chain. The key to this is structured design-in processes that combine technology, cost-effectiveness and time to market.

A good design-in procedure dovetails technical requirements (electrical parameters, EMC, mechanics, sealing) with production and quality criteria at an early stage, while at the same time ensuring that cost and deadline targets are met. But what exactly does a design-in process mean? "A design-in process is the targeted design of a component—such as a connecto—into the overall design of the customer's product," explains Tibor Kovacs, Managing Director at Suyin, a specialist in the development and production of application-specific connector solutions. He adds: "While standard components are usually only adapted, the design-in creates a component that is developed for the specific application right from the start. This applies equally to geometry, material, electrical properties, locking mechanisms and assembly aspects." This allows functions, reliability and cost-effectiveness to be optimally coordinated.
