Connector Color Specification and Rework Controls

Approved color standards, lot traceability, and documented rework methods keep custom connector housings consistent with the released specification.

Approved color standard

Lot-level traceability

Documented rework and retest

Background

Custom wire harness programs may define connector housing color as both an identification feature and an appearance requirement.

The Challenge

Custom resin or dye specifications need objective acceptance criteria so incoming inspection and production teams evaluate every lot consistently.

Our Solution

We use approved boundary samples, supplier lot records, in-process color checks, and controlled connector replacement or re-dyeing instructions when authorized by engineering.

The Result

The control plan provides repeatable color verification and a traceable rework path while preserving electrical and mechanical release requirements.
