Custom PC Tail Contacts: Tailoring Connectors to Your Product Design Without Compromise

With standard connectors, manufacturers have to deal with whatever's available on the market. This can mean building your product design around connectors, versus having them fit into your initial vision.

At Amerline, we provide customized connector solutions that are built specifically with your product’s needs and goals in mind. One example of this is our custom printed circuit tail contacts, also referred to as PC tail contacts, PC tails or PCB contacts.

We Start by Working Directly With Engineers

As with any of our customization work, a custom PC tail contact solution starts with syncing up with the engineers behind the product. Working from the design stage up assures every move we make aligns with the product’s design and the end result is closer to what they envisioned.

While improving accuracy, being able to jump in quickly and work with engineers accelerates time-to-market. There are fewer delays and less need for revisions, which keeps projects for printed circuit board applications moving forward.

We Use Our Product Focus to Our Advantage

Whereas larger connector suppliers are focused on hundreds, if not thousands, of different products, Amerline is focused on a very specific line of circular connectors. With this focus, we’re able to master product series and direct our attention and resources on customizing these solutions.

With our extensive work in custom PC tail contacts, we’ve been able to send industry-specific samples to other manufacturers so they can examine our solutions. In some cases, these example solutions have been just what they’re looking for and slide right into their product design—but we can always accommodate any customization changes as needed.

Meeting Custom PC Tail Contact Solution Needs

When one customer came to Amerline for a custom PC contact solution, it was because the connector they originally sourced for their product had excessive lead times and there were no options for expedited fulfillment and delivery. They needed us to produce the same connector to meet their product design needs in a timely manner. We were able to deliver that solution in a timeframe that aligned perfectly with their production schedule.

That’s the standard here at Amerline. With our customization work, you’ll get the exact fit you need, in the time you need it—all without paying a premium.
