Industrial Systems Integrator: Beating a 14-Week Connector Lead Time
A German industrial integrator faced connector sourcing constraints on a high-volume annual program.
Germany2025–2026
200k pcs/yr total program
PTC lead time 12–14 wks bypassed
Qualified alternative connector
The Challenge
The specified STOCKO connectors faced procurement limits and the required PTC component had a 12–14 week lead time, threatening the timeline for a 200k-pcs/year program.
Our Solution
We proposed Lumberg connectors as a qualified alternative with detailed spec comparisons, emphasizing shorter MOQ and better delivery to offset the PTC bottleneck.
The Result
The customer accepted the alternative for evaluation and agreed to sample the Lumberg-based assemblies, keeping the high-volume annual program viable.
