  1. Process Review: Electronic Components (SIC 3679)

  2. Industry Description • Firms engaged in the manufacturing of a variety of miscellaneous devices that are elements of larger electronic/electromechanical systems. • Common Examples • Wire/Cable Harness Assemblies • Electromechanical Assemblies • RF and Microwave Components

  3. Discrete Components (wires, resistors, semiconductors) Electronic Components (cable assemblies, electromechanical devices) Machines (vehicles, electronic/electromechanical equipment)

  4. What Electronic Components Do • Primary Electronic Functions: Manipulation of Electricity for Functional Purposes • Rectification • Converting alternating electric current into direct or steady state electric current • Amplification • Increasing the power of an electrical signal without changing its waveform or any of its other features • Oscillation • Production of a repetitive electronic signal • Switching • Interrupting electrical current or diverting it from one conductor to another • Timing • Electrical signal that controls when a device is at work or at rest • Filtering • Removal of unwanted electrical signals

  5. Associated Industries • Supporting Component SIC’s • SIC 3643: Current-Carrying Wiring Devices • SIC 3672: Printed Circuit Boards • SIC 3674: Semiconductors and related devices • SIC 3675-3676: Capacitors and Resistors • SIC 3677: Electronic Coils and Inductors • SIC 3678: Electronic Connectors • Some electronic components companies are involved in the manufacturing of these “sub-components” and will have multiple classifications

  6. Product Description • Wire/Cable Assemblies • Groups of wires or cables tied together and terminated with specialized connectors • Electromechanical Assemblies and RF/Microwave Components • Electrical circuits (system of conductors, resistors, along with capacitors and other dielectric components) • Generation of an electrostatic field discharge and/or a magnetic field creates electrical/mechanical energy • Casings/enclosures • House the electrical circuitry • Connectors and/or control mechanisms • Affix and integrate the components into a piece of equipment

  7. Primary Customer Base • Military/Defense • Aerospace • RF/Satellite Communication Equipment Makers • Medical Equipment Makers • Laboratory Equipment Makers

  8. Company Descriptions • Contract Manufacturers: Make very specific components unique to their customers’ specification. Not available for purchase on the open market. • Some build off of schematics provided by the customer • Others design a product specifically geared towards solving a problem that the customer has presented • Component Manufacturers: Mass produce a branded product that can be purchased on the open market by anyone

  9. Typical Processes • Wire/Cable Assembly • Wires/Cables are tied together, labeled, and terminated • Contract Manufacturing • Assembling a variety of components (wires/cables, connectors, circuit boards, etc.) • Electromechanical Assemblies and RF/Microwave Components • Housings and Enclosures (metal and/or plastic) are made in machine shop settings • Lathes, Mills, Drill Presses, Grinders CNC machines • Drilling, grinding, cutting • Molding • Fixturing • Welding, laser labeling • Plating • Injection molding • Soldering and assembly

  10. What They Buy • Maintenance/Facility items • Fasteners • Adhesives • Drill bits • Taps • Miscellaneous Parts • Mostly one time buys for prototyping purposes • Occasionally our part numbers are called out in government specs and they will purchase items to go into the finished product

  11. Common Titles • Wire/Cable Assembly • Operations Supervisor/Maintenance Superintendent • Usually the one person who is in charge of all technical aspects of the business, including facilities management • Worker stations • Equipment repairs tend to be handled by the equipment manufacturers • Head of Engineering • Electromechanical Assemblies and RF/Microwave Components • Shop Superintendent • Maintenance Superintendent • Engineering Department Supervisor (larger firms with over 100 employees)

  12. When Marketing to Firms in SIC 3679 Look For… • Processes other than simple cable assembly • Products that require an enclosure or housing of some kind (electromechanical assemblies) • Employment • Contract manufacturers that also offer design services • Component makers that sell branded items on the open market
