Zierick Manufacturing Corp

Our company has used Zierick Manufacturing Corp for quick disconnect and screw terminals. They offer a wide range of terminal choices for applying wire connections to PCBs during the initial development phase at our company. It was a low cost choice for screw terminals, they accept most wire gages, which can be attached directly to the PCB or bread boards, due to their plating on the leads. Our engineers found the parts easy to use and they are very reliable - no failures during use, which was one of the reasons they required this specific vendor for the screw terminals. In addition, we were able to download CAD files along with 2D drawings, so we could make sure the parts were going to work with our application before we purchased a supply for our upcoming production schedule. Have not had a lot of experience with this vendor, but so far they have done everything according to plan. We intend to use them in the future for new development and manufacturing builds -- great job!
