How We Work
Six steps from initial contact to delivered, tested components. One point of contact from start to finish. First production runs in 6 to 8 weeks. Repeat orders in 2 to 3 weeks.
The Process
Every custom inductor and transformer follows this process. We handle the engineering, sourcing, production, and testing. You approve the samples and receive documented, tested product.
Send us your engineering drawing, specification sheet, or a description of what you need. Include core material, wire gauge, turn count, DCR requirements, dimensions, and quantities if you have them. A reference part number or existing component you want to match works too. We review every detail and respond within 24 hours.
Response: within 24 hoursOur team reviews your specification for manufacturability. We verify that we can meet every requirement: core material availability, winding window clearance, wire gauge and turn count compatibility, DCR targets, dimensional constraints, and compliance needs (RoHS, lead-free). If we spot potential issues, we raise them upfront before quoting. If your spec calls for something we want to discuss, like a tight winding window or a core material with long lead times, we bring it up now.
Review: 24 to 48 hoursYou receive a detailed quote with line-item pricing, lead times for first production and repeat orders, minimum order quantities, and any tooling costs (if applicable). Pricing is based on core material, wire type and gauge, turn count, and quantity. The quote includes everything from raw materials through tested, packaged, and shipped product.
Quote: within 48 hoursWe build sample units to your exact specification. Each prototype is wound, tested, and measured against every parameter in your drawing: DCR, lead length, dimensions, visual quality. Samples ship with full test data so you can verify performance in your application. If adjustments are needed, we refine the process and rebuild. Production starts only after your sign-off on the prototype results.
Samples: 2 to 4 weeksFull production run begins after prototype approval. Cores are sourced, wire is prepared, and the winding team executes to your approved specification. In-process testing catches any drift in DCR or dimensional tolerances during the run. Every finished unit is individually tested: DCR measured and recorded, visual inspection performed, lead lengths and dimensions verified. Units outside tolerance are rejected. Progress updates provided at key milestones: material receipt, winding completion, and ship date.
First order: 6 to 8 weeks. Repeat: 2 to 3 weeksFinished, tested product ships with complete documentation: individual test reports (DCR readings for every unit), certificates of conformance, and material traceability records. Your drawings and specifications stay on file permanently. Reorders are seamless because we already have your materials, processes, and quality requirements documented. Repeat orders ship in 2 to 3 weeks.
Production runs: 1K to 100K+ unitsTimeline
First-time production orders include core sourcing, any required tooling, winding, testing, and shipping. The full cycle typically runs 6 to 8 weeks. Repeat orders are significantly faster because your materials, tooling, and processes are already established.

Ongoing
Materials and processes already established. Reorders move fast.
Your RFQ
The more complete your initial request, the faster and more accurate our quote will be. Here is the information that makes the biggest difference.
Missing some of this info?
Send what you have. A reference part number, a rough description, or a competitor's datasheet all give us enough to start the conversation. We can help develop the full specification collaboratively.
Lead Times
Lead times depend on order complexity, core material availability, and quantity. Here are the ranges for common scenarios.
| Order Type | Typical Lead Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Quote | 24 to 48 hours | Detailed pricing with quantities and lead times |
| Prototype / Samples | 2 to 4 weeks | Small quantity, full test data included |
| First Production Run | 6 to 8 weeks | Includes core sourcing and any tooling |
| Repeat Production Order | 2 to 3 weeks | Materials and processes already established |
| Rush / Expedited | Contact us | Available on a case-by-case basis |
Lead times are estimates based on standard production schedules. Exact timelines provided with your quote.
Why It Works
The person reviewing your drawing is the same person tracking your production run. Your specifications, test history, and documentation stay with one team from first quote through every reorder.
That continuity matters. It means your specs and tolerances are understood from day one, so details are carried forward accurately across every production run. Reorders move fast because we already know your parts, your materials, and your quality requirements.
Once your drawings are on file and your first run is qualified, the second order is a phone call.

Capacity
We handle both prototype quantities and full-scale production. Here is what we can deliver.
Small-quantity sample builds for testing and qualification. Full test data with every prototype batch. Typical turnaround: 2 to 4 weeks.
Standard MOQ of 500 units. Production quantities from 1,000 to 100,000+ units per order. Every unit individually tested. First orders: 6 to 8 weeks.
Scheduled production for ongoing demand. Monthly or quarterly delivery schedules. Repeat order lead time: 2 to 3 weeks. Pricing improves with volume commitment.
