Provided that conductivity is not required, our 500-hr salt spray black electro-deposited RoHS finish (BR) and our olive drab electro-deposited RoHS finish (OR) are the most requested finishes.
Are connectors available from stock?
When an Amerline customer places a blanket order, we will maintain a stock of finished goods against that purchase order.
Are the AEC series connectors Mil-Spec?
Our AEC series connector lines are commercial equivalents to military standards. They are designed and tested in accordance with the most critical requirements.
Does Amerline comply with the DFARS 252.225-7007 Prohibition on Acquisition of Certain Items from Communist Chinese Military Companies?
Yes, none of Amerline's products are sourced from China. This allows us to comply with the DFARS 252.225-7007 prohibition for military customers and other customers that need to meet this regulation. It also gives us a way to work around global sourcing issues and keep production schedules cost-effective and on track.
