USB Specification Builder

Fill in what you know and get a copy-ready English specification you can send to any supplier. You do not need every field — leave what you have not decided blank and the draft will say so.

This is a procurement draft. Configuration availability — a bespoke mould, a specific interface,
      printing tolerances, tooling cost, MOQ and lead time — must be confirmed in writing with WINTEL
      before ordering. See the full USB RFQ checklist.

 
 
What a usable RFQ actually contains
 

Most first enquiries are missing the same four things, which is why the first reply is a list of
        questions instead of a price. A quotation can only be as specific as the request behind it.

 
     
  • Product and interface — a finished USB drive, a UDP module, a semi-finished board or a memory card. The interface (USB-A, USB-C, dual, or an embedded module) decides the housing and the tooling.
    •  
  • Capacity, and whether it is fixed — one capacity per run is simpler and cheaper than a mixed run, and mixing capacities in one order changes the test plan.
    •  
  • Quantity, and whether it is a trial or a programme — a sample run and a volume programme are quoted differently, and price per unit changes with quantity.
    •  
  • Branding method — print, laser engraving or moulded logo. Each has a different setup, a different minimum and a different tolerance for colour drift.
    •  
  • Packaging — polybag, printed box or custom structure. Packaging is often the largest hidden line item after the drive itself.
    •  
  • Destination and date — the destination decides the Incoterm and the documents; the date decides whether the lead time is achievable at all.
    •  
 
Omissions that delay a quotation
 
     
  • Asking for a price without a quantity, which can only be answered with a price ladder.
    •  
  • Sending artwork after asking for the price, when the artwork determines the printing method and cost.
    •  
  • Specifying a capacity that is currently short in the NAND market, without a fallback.
    •  
  • Leaving the destination country out, which changes both freight and documentation.
    •  
 
 
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the generated draft with more than one supplier?
Yes, and that is the point. Sending the same document to several suppliers is what makes their replies comparable — otherwise you are comparing different quantities, interfaces and packaging as if they were the same offer.
What if I do not know the capacity yet?
Say so, and give the workload instead: what the drive stores, how often it is rewritten, and how long the data must survive. A capacity range based on the workload is more useful than a guess, and it can be narrowed before the order.
Does the draft cover tooling and mould cost?
It covers the details a supplier needs to quote tooling, but the tooling cost itself depends on the shape, the material and whether a mould already exists. That is confirmed in writing, not estimated here.
