Complete Assemblies, Ready for Installation

Outsourcing electronic box build can allow manufacturers to move a defined stage of assembly to a specialist production partner.

Connect-2 Technology can combine cable assemblies, wiring, PCB integration and electro-mechanical assembly into a complete build, supplied under an agreed part number and manufacturing specification.

Depending on the project, this can simplify purchasing and internal assembly by reducing the number of individual components and sub-assemblies that need to be managed before final installation.

Assemblies can incorporate:

Engineering Support for Electronic Box Build Projects

Our in-house engineering team supports new products, existing assemblies and production transfers, working alongside customer engineering and production teams to establish the information required for manufacture.

Support can include:

    • Reviewing customer drawings and specifications
    • Creating or refining production documentation
    • Producing wiring diagrams and assembly drawings
    • Reviewing assemblies for manufacturability
    • Supporting prototype and development builds
    • Managing agreed engineering changes during ongoing production

Whether you are developing a new assembly, outsourcing work currently completed in-house or transferring an established product, our team can help turn the available technical information into a repeatable manufacturing process.

Reducing Complexity Across Your Supply Chain

Electronic box builds often involve a combination of wiring, enclosures, PCBs, connectors and mechanical components.

Bringing these requirements together with one manufacturing partner can simplify purchasing and provide a more coordinated manufacturing route for assemblies involving multiple electrical, electronic and mechanical components.

Our established supply chain allows us to source a wide range of components, including:

    • Connectors
    • Relays
    • Metalwork
    • Coated and plated components
    • Enclosures
    • DIN rail components
    • Encapsulation materials

Where PCB assembly is also required, this can be supported through our sister company, Cleveland Circuits, allowing electronic and electro-mechanical assembly requirements to be coordinated within Cleveland Technologies Group.

Supporting Manufacturers Across Multiple Industries

We manufacture electronic box builds, control panels and electro-mechanical assemblies for equipment used across a range of industries, including:

Different applications can place different demands on an assembly, from equipment layout and component selection to identification, inspection and testing.

For that reason, we manufacture to the requirements of each individual project rather than applying a standard box build specification across every application.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers!

What is an electronic box build?

Electronic box build is the assembly and integration of electrical, electronic and mechanical components into an enclosure or finished unit.

Depending on the product, this can include cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, control panels, DIN rail components, PCBs, connectors, switches, relays, mechanical parts and functional testing.

The result may be a sub-assembly for further integration or a more complete assembly ready to be incorporated into the customer’s equipment.

What is included in electronic box build services?

The exact scope depends on the project.

Connect-2 Technology can provide cable and wiring assembly, control panel wiring, DIN rail assembly, PCB integration, mechanical assembly, component fitting, identification and agreed inspection or functional testing.

We manufacture to customer drawings, specifications and production requirements, so the level of assembly can be tailored to the stage at which you want to receive the product.

Can Connect-2 Technology manufacture custom control panels?

Yes. We manufacture custom control panels and panel wiring assemblies to customer drawings and specifications.

This can include routed wiring, cable assemblies, DIN rail components, switches, indicators, connectors and other electrical or electro-mechanical components required by the design.

Can you integrate PCBs into electronic box builds?

Yes. PCB assembly can be supported through our sister company, Cleveland Circuits.

Assembled PCBs can then be incorporated into the wider electronic box build alongside wiring, cable assemblies, mechanical components and other parts required by the customer specification.

What should I provide when requesting a quote for an electronic box build?

Ideally, provide the latest drawings, bill of materials, wiring information, assembly requirements and expected quantities. You should also include any requirements for testing, identification, documentation and packaging. If some information is still being developed, our engineering team can review the available documentation and discuss what is required before manufacture.

What should manufacturers consider before outsourcing electronic box build?

A clearly defined manufacturing specification is important.

This should cover component requirements, assembly instructions, wiring information, testing, acceptance criteria and responsibilities for component supply.

Production quantities, delivery requirements and the way future engineering changes will be communicated should also be agreed before ongoing manufacture begins.

Can one supplier manufacture the wiring, control panel and complete box build?

Yes. Connect-2 Technology manufactures cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, control panels and electronic box builds within its UK manufacturing operation.

Where PCB assembly is also required, this can be supported through Cleveland Circuits, our sister company within Cleveland Technologies Group.

This allows several stages of the electrical and electro-mechanical assembly process to be coordinated through the same group.

Can you manufacture from an existing assembly or legacy equipment?

Yes. Our engineering team can work with existing assemblies, customer hardware and available documentation to establish the manufacturing requirements.

Where required, we can also support the creation or refinement of production documentation, wiring diagrams and assembly drawings before repeat manufacture.

What production volumes do you support?

We support prototype, low-volume and repeat production requirements.

The appropriate manufacturing approach will depend on the complexity of the assembly, component availability, quantities required and the customer’s production schedule.

Do you test electronic box builds before delivery?

Testing is agreed according to the requirements of the individual project.

This can include inspection during assembly and agreed functional testing before delivery. Any specific testing methods or acceptance criteria should be defined as part of the manufacturing specification.
