01
Interface and Requirement Review
Clarify the equipment interface, mating parts, current path, panel fit, user access, and the problem the new terminal must solve.
OEM / ODM Development
OEM Terminal Connector Development
From reference sample or early drawing to approved terminal assembly and repeat production - a structured development path for OEM projects that are not fully defined yet.
Custom Manufacturing Evidence Media
Visual Proof for Custom Project Review
Use the evidence mix to show how drawing basis, part family, process route, inspection, and production release are reviewed together.
Development Workflow
Early fit-check parts, machined samples, insulation, panel assembly, and approved sample tray.
Interface Review
Panel cutouts, mating parts, cable lugs, insulation, fasteners, and fit-check constraints.
Sample Development
Physical sample, early prototype, revised machined sample, drawings, revision cards, and tools.
Material / Finish
Brass, copper, insulation colors, finish coupons, plated contacts, and approval tools.
Production Release
Approved assemblies, loose components, QC checklist, packaging inserts, and repeat-order control.
Development Scope
Use This Path When the Terminal Is Not Fully Defined Yet
This page is for OEM programs that need engineering review before production: interface definition, drawing cleanup, material choices, prototypes, validation, packaging, and release control.
02
Drawing and Sample Development
Turn a physical sample, early sketch, or initial drawing into a manufacturable terminal-component specification.
03
Material and Finish Definition
Define brass, copper, insulation, plating, color, and surface requirements around function, appearance, and production control.
04
Prototype and Validation Support
Support prototype builds so the buyer can validate fit, assembly sequence, electrical function, and equipment-level performance.
05
Assembly and Packaging Definition
Coordinate conductive parts, insulation, caps, fasteners, private-label appearance, packaging, and installation requirements.
06
Production Release Control
Convert approved drawings, samples, inspection points, BOM details, and packaging instructions into a repeatable production package.

Project Inputs
- + Application, equipment type, and the problem the new terminal must solve
- + Mating components, panel layout, enclosure constraints, and assembly sequence
- + Reference sample, early sketch, 2D drawing, 3D model, or partially defined idea
- + Electrical function, material, finish, color, branding, and packaging expectations
- + Prototype plan, validation responsibility, target launch timing, and forecast volume
Define Before Production
Control Points
- - Clear ownership of drawings, revisions, reference samples, and approved specifications
- - Critical-to-function dimensions, acceptance criteria, and inspection method
- - Material, plating, insulation, color, and appearance requirements for each component
- - Sample validation in the buyer equipment before recurring production release
- - Documented production release, packaging approval, and engineering change process
Final feasibility, material grade, tolerance, surface treatment, inspection method, MOQ, and lead time are confirmed after drawing and application review.
Decision Evidence
What Buyers Should Validate Before Approval
These are the practical evidence points that reduce sourcing risk before sample approval and recurring production.
Requirement Evidence
Clarify the equipment interface, problem to solve, mating parts, target user, and validation responsibility.
Prototype Evidence
Use drawings, samples, fit checks, assembly notes, and revision records to control prototype decisions.
Approval Evidence
Define who approves fit, material, finish, insulation, packaging, and production release before repeat orders.
Change-Control Evidence
Keep approved drawings, samples, inspection points, and packaging requirements tied to revision history.
Manufacturing Evidence
Proof to Request Before Releasing Custom Parts
Custom terminal projects need more than a product photo. Buyers should validate the drawing basis, process route, inspection points, and approval record before recurring production.
Factory and Process Media
CNC turning, copper or brass machining, insulation parts, plating preparation, assembly, and packing photos or short videos.
Inspection Records
Thread gauges, dimensional checks, appearance zones, fit checks, first-article notes, and project-specific QC sheets.
Material and Finish Proof
Material grade confirmation, plating requirement, visible and contact zones, sample approval reference, and finish acceptance criteria.
Project and Shipment Evidence
Approved sample records, revision history, packaging instruction, label scope, export packing, and repeat-order control notes.
Evidence Media
Factory, Inspection, Project, and Shipment Proof Points
Buyers should see how product claims connect to the workshop, inspection table, RFQ file, and repeat-order controls.
Requirement Evidence
Equipment interface, mating parts, panel fit, user access, and validation responsibility.
Prototype Evidence
Samples, fit checks, revised parts, drawings, revision notes, and approval path.
Approval Evidence
Material, finish, insulation, color, appearance, contact zones, and approved sample criteria.
Change-Control Evidence
Approved sample set, inspection points, packing instructions, release record, and repeat production.
Drawing and Specification Package
What Turns a Quote Into a Production Reference
RFQ quality improves when engineering, purchasing, and quality teams agree on the same drawing, inspection, and approval basis before samples move into production.
2D / 3D Definition
Drawing, STEP/IGES model, sample photo, mating part, panel layout, or dimensioned sketch used as the review basis.
Material and Finish Schedule
Metal grade, insulation material, plating route, visible zones, contact zones, color requirements, and compliance notes.
Inspection Checklist
Critical dimensions, thread fit, contact surface, insulation fit, assembly sequence, appearance standard, and packaging check.
Approval Record
Sample approval, revision reference, change-control note, packaging instruction, and repeat-order acceptance criteria.
RFQ FAQ
Questions to Resolve Before Quoting
Use these questions to prepare a clearer drawing package and reduce quotation back-and-forth.
When should I use OEM development instead of a product page?
Use this path when the terminal is not fully defined yet, or when the project needs interface review, drawing cleanup, material selection, samples, and release control.
Can Axiterm work from a physical sample?
Yes. A physical sample can be reviewed together with target changes, mating parts, application, material, finish, quantity, and validation needs.
What should be decided before prototype approval?
Confirm critical dimensions, mating fit, material, finish, insulation, assembly sequence, packaging, inspection method, and revision ownership.
How do OEM projects move into production?
Production should start from an approved drawing or sample, agreed inspection points, packaging instructions, and documented change-control rules.
