In todays market, fast turn around and quick response is essential. We support many customers with specialized connector housings.  Many of these housings are machined aluminum and plated with various metals such as electroless nickle or gold.  Volumes from a couple prototypes to thousands of pieces are typical for us.  SFM offer great prices for our customers that just don't have the volumes to justify die cast molds, but needs moderate volumes CNC machined.
