Details
In general, it works best when the customer needs more than just a couple pieces; depending on the product, approximately 20 - 50 pieces minimum is a decent rule of thumb. In this way, design charges can be distributed across the entire build, reducing the effective 'per piece' cost.
In some cases, custom requests have resulted in new products which Winford added to our own stocked product lineup, in which case the customer paid no design costs at all. When this approach is relevant, it works out well for all involved. The customer gets the required product without design costs and with very low minimum quantity, and Winford is able to add a new and relevant product to our lineup.
Browse the gallery below to see some examples of custom products. Please contact us if we can be helpful in your next project. There is no charge for consultations.

Breakout Boards
This DB78 breakout board is very similar to our stocked BRK78HDF-R-DIN, but our customer needed a vertical connector and a different terminal orientation. This required a slightly customized PCB.
Our customer needed to make many RJ50 breakout connections. Rather than using a separate breakout board for each connector, they needed to combine 8 connectors onto one assembly.
A customer needed two connectors on a single board, with a subset of the connector pins brought out to screw terminals. For boards like this one, quantities as low as a couple dozen boards can often be built for a reasonable cost.
This little board breaks out several pins of a 2x5 header out to screw terminals and also includes a resistor connection between 2 pins. This board provided a neat, compact, affordable solution for the customer.
One customer liked our stocked TTA3510-FT board but needed a terminal block and the mounting hardware removed. We did a custom run for this customer, and the piece cost was actually lower than the stocked item.
This customer needed some additional connection points added to our stocked breakout board. We did several small custom builds for this customer, adding in spring terminals to supplement the screw terminals.
Our customer wanted to use our stocked BRKDD37MFV1-S-DIN breakout board, but they required a DIN rail carrier rather than DIN clips. We built several small runs for this customer.
One customer needed four Mini D-Ribbon connectors brought out to screw terminals, but also needed some custom interconnections among those connectors. We built a small run to meet their requirements.
A simple connector orientation change is all that distinguishes this board from our stocked products. We built a custom run of boards with right-angle connectors to meet the needs of a customer.
This board is very similar to our BRKSD37F-R board, but only a subset of the pins are broken out to screw terminals. A header has been added to facilitate customer needs.
Our customer needed a special adapter board to break out several conductors from a connector on their controller. This board brings 3 conductors of a 50-pin Half-Pitch DSUB connector out to screw terminals for easy access.
Diagnostics
Our customer needed convenient access to signals while using Hewlett Packard diagnostic equipment. This board is inserted inline and provides jumpers and test points for all signals.
Adapters
Our customer needed a board to adapt from a DB9 connector to a card edge connection. We built this custom board to meet their requirements.
One customer needed a way to easily terminate wires to a thru-panel M12 connection. Winford designed and built this board to meet their requirements.
One customer needed a way to easily terminate wires to a thru-panel DB9 connection. Winford designed and built this board to meet their requirements.
Cables
One customer needed a short, compact DB9 ribbon cable with very specific mounting hardware. We built these cables in-house to meet their requirements.
