Separate the mechanical and electrical requirements on the drawing. For the USB gooseneck arm, dimension the bendable section separately from the rigid connector housings. Show the mounting point, the intended bend and the clearance around each plug.
Identify the plug or receptacle at each end and the equipment the cable will connect. Specify the voltage and current required at the device. If the design uses USB Power Delivery, include the required power profile. State whether the cable is for charging only or must also carry data, and give the minimum data rate required. Ask for these values to be confirmed for the quoted configuration.
Fit the sample to the production mount and check the connector exit angle throughout the adjustment range. If the arm carries a load, test it at the longest horizontal reach in service and check for drift or strain at the port. Confirm charging with the intended power source and device; for a data assembly, also check the connection and transfer rate in its working position.
For a quotation, include the assembly drawing or reference photos, finish, sample quantity and estimated order quantity. Request an OEM cable quote.
