We have friends who used to own a contract manufacturing business that made wire harness and cable assemblies. They have been instrumental in giving advice and acting as mentors. One day they were at our shop and saw the tiny assemblies we were building. They laughed and said, "No, thank you!" They were used to building larger assemblies with thick cables, and seeing our small assemblies with very fine wires attached, they knew they were out of their league!
We love the challenge of building assemblies that use very small components. 28 gauge wire? No problem. A plug that only measures 1/8" across? Great! Does the part have the words "micro" or "mini" in them? Bring it on! By rising to the challenge, we have gained experience and skills and it just makes us a better company for it. Below: Peter (left) is working on very tiny fans. He's trimming wires, getting ready to splice different gauge wires onto them. Christina (right) is holding some of the very tiny crimps we use on some assemblies. They're about as big as a grain of rice.
