Why this is relevant — Antenna feeder cables share the deviation management process signal-integrity discipline this imaging program required.
An imaging OEM experienced a critical production halt due to high impedance defects in a micro-coaxial cable assembly used for a beta production series.
- Challenge
- A significant share of an AWG#40 micro-coax 1:1 assembly lot failed due to high impedance, leading to order cancellation, a demand for refunds, and a major trust deficit.
- Solution
- Halted production immediately and conducted joint technical analysis with the customer's engineering team to identify the root cause (specification definition and testing method mismatch). Updated specifications, provided new test reports, manufactured new samples, and processed a replacement order for the defective units.
- Result
- Successfully resolved the quality complaint, secured a full replacement order for the defective lot, and maintained the long-term partnership despite the severe initial defect rate.
- AWG#40
- micro-coax 1:1
- impedance-driven failure
- full lot replacement
