FAQs
What types of electrical precision components does Kodak Engineering manufacture?
Kodak Engineering specializes in the production of high-tolerance electrical components such as micro-connectors, sensor housings, coil windings, printed circuit board (PCB) sub-assemblies, custom heat sinks, and electromagnetic shields. Our facility is equipped to handle both low-volume prototypes and full-scale production runs, allowing us to serve industries ranging from medical devices and aerospace to semiconductor and telecommunications.
What tolerances and accuracy can you achieve for electrical parts?
Thanks to our state-of-the-art CNC machining centers, EDM stations, and automated inspection equipment, we routinely maintain dimensional tolerances down to ±2 µm (0.00008 in) on critical features such as pin spacing, slot widths, and alignment holes. Surface finishes as fine as Ra 0.2 µm are achievable, ensuring optimal electrical contact and thermal performance. Each project is discussed up-front so we can match tolerances to the functional and cost requirements of your design.
Which materials and finishes are available for precision electrical machining?
We work with a wide range of conductive and insulating materials, including copper, oxygen-free high-conductivity (OFHC) copper, aluminum alloys, stainless steels, beryllium copper, PEEK, Delrin, and high-temperature ceramics. Finishing options include electroless nickel, gold or silver plating, anodizing, chromate conversion, passivation, and conformal coatings. All plating baths and surface treatments are RoHS-compliant and traceable.
Can Kodak assist with design for manufacturability (DFM) and prototyping?
Absolutely. Our engineering team provides early-stage DFM reviews to optimize geometry, material selection, and cost. We offer rapid prototyping services—including 5-axis CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and quick-turn PCB assembly—to validate form, fit, and function before full production. Customers typically receive prototype parts within 5–10 business days after design approval.
How does Kodak ensure quality and compliance with industry standards?
Quality is embedded in every step of our process. Kodak Engineering is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485, and we follow IPC-A-610/620 guidelines for electronic assemblies. In-process inspections use CMMs, laser micrometers, and optical profilers, while final inspection includes 100 % electrical continuity and high-pot testing when specified. Full material traceability, first-article inspection (FAI) reports, and certificates of conformance are provided with every shipment.
What is the typical lead time and ordering process for custom precision electrical components?
Lead times vary by complexity, quantity, and finishing requirements, but standard production orders ship in 3–6 weeks. The ordering process is straightforward: 1) Submit your 3D CAD model and technical drawings via our secure portal; 2) Receive a detailed quotation within 48 hours; 3) Approve the quote and place a purchase order; 4) Review and sign off on the manufacturing plan and any DFM suggestions; 5) Production begins with real-time progress updates available through our customer dashboard; 6) Parts ship with full documentation and tracking. Expedited services are available for critical deadlines.
