After receiving a customer order Butler Winding will purchases the cores, bobbins, winding tubes, terminals, magnet wire, lead wire, and/or insulation needed to build the customer€™s parts. Then Butler Winding winds the coils; terminates the coil windings to pins, pads, terminals, or lead wires as required (including soldering and/or crimping); assembles (or stacks) the core(s) into the coils; tests the parts; bakes the parts if required; varnishes or encapsulates the parts; labels the parts; and then ships the parts. Yes, Butler Winding also sends a bill for the parts to the customer.

If you need assistance with your design, please contact Butler Winding and ask for Engineering.
