Imaging OEM·Europe·Representative program
An imaging OEM experienced a critical production halt due to high impedance defects in a micro-coaxial cable assembly — the same impedance-verification discipline now applied to every FAKRA program.
- Challenge
- A significant share of an AWG #40 micro-coax 1:1 assembly lot failed due to high impedance, leading to order cancellation and a major trust deficit.
- Solution
- Halted production and conducted joint technical analysis with the customer's engineering team. Updated test specifications, provided new test reports, manufactured replacement samples, and processed a full replacement order. The corrected impedance verification procedure is now applied to every FAKRA build by default — VSWR sweep on first article before any production lot moves.
- Result
- Successfully resolved the quality complaint, secured a full replacement order for the defective lot, and rolled the verification discipline forward to FAKRA and other RF programs.
Verified specs
- AWG #40 conductor
- full lot replacement
- 0 RMA in subsequent year
- Discipline rolled to FAKRA + RF lines
