RFQ lane

LinkScope Sourcing 39 reads the brief you submit

This lane is the long form of the inquiry. The small dialog elsewhere on the site is only the same fields in a narrow frame. Here you can see the steps beside the form. No street address is published, because the desk does not invite walk-in counter service.

How a reply is routed

  1. You type a work email in the form. That address is the return path.
  2. Phone is optional and is used only if you enter it. There is no published switchboard.
  3. Timing of the reply is stated in the return message. There is no shop-hour clock on this page.
  4. Social feeds are not used as an order channel. Keep specifications in the requirement text.

LinkScope Sourcing 39 is an independent sourcing partner. A message here does not reserve stock and does not appoint a factory.

Fields that change the quotation

Write pitch in millimetres, such as 0.50 mm, 0.80 mm, or 1.27 mm, next to contact count and stack height. A 5 mm stack and a 16 mm stack are different purchases. If the pair is high speed, ask the factory for impedance, frequency range, insertion loss, and return loss, and for the measurement accuracy on that plot. Connector mating cycle life belongs on cards that are pulled in the field. Ingress protection belongs on the mated pair, not on the cabinet name.

Two buying disagreements stay open on this lane. One buyer stays with the host vendor drawing so later support uses that geometry. Another buyer will accept a second-source footprint after pinout, plating thickness, and current at a named ambient are checked. New date codes and surplus lots are a separate disagreement: surplus can cover a legacy pitch when condition and remaining cycles are written down. The desk records which path you chose. It does not rank the factories.

Three limits travel with the form. There is no warehouse behind it. A shared pitch is not proof the parts mate. A budget figure is a buyer note in the requirement text, with currency and a per-piece or whole-order basis, not a rate already settled. Current above the stated derating, or a frequency above the stated range, needs a new factory line.

Write these before you send

  • Connector family, pitch, and contact count.
  • Current, voltage, plating, and mating-cycle question.
  • Quantity and the unit, pieces or reels if you use reels.
  • US destination and the delivery window you want discussed.
  • Optional budget with currency and per-piece or whole-order basis.
  • Supplier preference: high-end, mid-range, budget, or undecided. That is your note, not a rating.

If script is off, put budget and preference in the requirement box. The page does not add a second stored field for them.
