Quick Answer: HYSF’s standard MOQ is 10 units for most connector models, making us ideal for prototypes, small projects, and R&D. For cable assemblies, MOQ is 5 units. Sample orders of 1-5 units available at slightly higher unit price. Volume discounts apply at 50, 100, 500, and 1000+ unit quantities. Unlike competitors requiring 100+ unit MOQs, our low MOQ allows you to test before committing to large orders. No MOQ for custom engineering consultations.

Special Considerations
Mixed Orders

- Example: 5x 4-pin + 5x 6-pin = 10 units (meets MOQ)
- Helps when you need variety but not large quantities of each
Custom Projects
- Custom connectors: 50 unit MOQ (due to tooling costs)
- Custom cable assemblies: 10 unit MOQ
- NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) fee: $500-2000 depending on complexity
- NRE fee waived for orders >500 units
