Crane Connectors is pleased to offer a COST EFFECTIVE solution to non-standard applications. Although Crane is fully capable of providing CUSTOM solutions when needed, our speciality is our ability to find ways of using standard raw materials in non-standard ways. We call it... TAILORING.  Choose Your Area Negatives of Custom Solutions Tailored Solutions: Available Modifications Custom Solutions Send Us Your Request Custom solutions, although sometimes the only option available, carry with them a number of potential negatives, including: Long lead times High piece prices High tooling or NRE charges High minimum order levels Slow (or no) turnaround on samples All of these ADD EXPENSE and reduce the designer's flexibility in resolving unusual requirements. Crane Tailored Products greatly reduce (or eliminate altogether) the above concerns. Here's how we do it. Instead of looking first for the most expensive custom solutions, Crane engineers are trained to look for possible answers within standard components. Our team is experienced in looking at our raw materials much like a kid looks at a stack of Legos®. How many different ways can they be put together? The only thing limiting the possibilities is the creativity of the builder, and our "builders" are pretty darn creative!

Rest assured, however, that the customer is NOT out of luck. Crane is fully capable of finding solutions that require special stamping dies and molds. We pride ourselves in our ability ot produce quality custom products at some of the most competitive prices in the industry. On one application, Crane was asked to second source a custom socket produced by a competitor. Crane was not only able to produce the product, it reduced the piece price of the part by nearly 40%. Crane is now first source for this customer.
