Rhopoint Components is a specialist design-led distributor of advanced electronic components, partnering with leading global manufacturers to offer a comprehensive portfolio of customisable solutions for demanding engineering applications.
Find out more about the customisation options available across electronic components, sensors and connectors, or speak to our team about your specific design requirements. Whether you need a modified package, special termination, application-qualified part or a replacement for an obsolete component, we can help identify the right solution.
Custom form, function, values, and special terminations engineered to your circuit requirements.
Pressure, Temperature, Magnetic , reed relays customised for range, output, environments and more.
Tailored terminations, mounting types, and precision-machined parts for demanding assemblies.
Our technical sales team works with you to solve challenges that standard parts can’t easily address, replacing obsolete components, meeting harsh-environment requirements, and integrating into constrained mechanical envelopes.
Customised solutions can reduce design compromises, save board space and help avoid additional circuitry, while keeping overall cost competitive.
Working with our manufacturing partners, you can define the component parameters that directly affect fit and performance. Typical options include electrical values and formats for resistors, as well as pressure range, output signal, interfaces and fittings for sensors. This helps you match the part to the application instead of adapting the design to a standard device.

Advantages
When key parts go end‑of‑life, We can work with our manufacturing partners to design drop‑in or near drop‑in replacements, maintaining footprint, performance and interfaces wherever possible.
This helps engineers avoid costly redesigns and lets companies keep production lines running without disrupting existing qualification or approvals.
Many of our manufacturing partners specialise in high‑stability, high‑performance resistors, capacitors and sensors in compact packages, making it possible to shrink assemblies or consolidate functions into fewer parts.
Customised values, terminations and form factors allow engineers to free up board space, improve thermal behaviour and hit aggressive size or weight targets without compromising reliability.
Through partners such as Isabellenhütte, VPG Foil Resistors, SRT Resistor Technology and Core Sensors, Rhopoint can adapt lead styles, housings, connectors and mounting options to match the mechanical realities of your design.
This reduces assembly complexity, avoids fragile adapter hardware, and lowers long‑term maintenance costs for the company by making the part “fit first time” into the chosen architecture.
For automotive, space and defence projects, Rhopoint and our manufacturing partners support components that meet relevant standards such as AEC‑Q for automotive, ESCC/ECSS for space, and MIL‑STD/MIL‑PRF for defence and aerospace.
Engineers gain confidence that custom or optimised parts still align with the required stress‑test and quality regimes, while procurement and quality teams get a clearer path through documentation and audits.
Because Rhopoint is an authorised partner for over 25 precision component and sensor manufacturers, engineers can explore custom options across resistors, capacitors, sensors and connectors with a single technical team.
For companies, that means fewer supplier interfaces, better coordination of multi‑part solutions, and reduced risk of mis‑matched components from different sources.
Customised parts are surprisingly cost‑competitive with standard models once you factor in savings from board space, reduced component count and simplified assembly.
Engineers benefit from cleaner designs, and businesses see lower lifecycle costs through reduced rework, fewer change‑orders and easier long‑term support.
We are authorised partners for over 25 manufacturers of high-specification electronic components, sensors and connectors. This gives you access to a broad range of standard and customisable parts, all supported through one design-in and commercial team.

Real Applications
Bolted directly onto the busbar inside an electric vehicle’s battery pack, where it feeds real-time current data to the battery management system that protects against overcharge, overheating, and cell imbalance.
Isabellenhütte adjusted the resistance value (across a 200 µOhm–5 mOhm range), physical footprint, and terminal type of its BAC shunt platform so the part bolts straight onto the vehicle’s specific busbar geometry and reads accurately at the pack’s actual current level, removing the need for a separate current transformer. The same base shunt design is resized and re-valued differently for forklifts and e-scooters, which draw far less current than a full EV drivetrain. Proving the value/footprint tuning is what makes one core technology fit vastly different current ranges.
In space‑grade power conditioning and control electronics, engineers often need ceramic capacitors that fit a very constrained PCB footprint while meeting non‑standard voltage and screening requirements.
SRT Microcéramique works directly with those teams to combine a specific SMD format (0402–80300 or stacked package), high‑voltage rating (including non‑catalog values such as 1100 V, 1200 V or up to 32 kV), tailored capacitance outside ISO standard steps, and a defined screening flow (ESCC 3009‑equivalent or ECSS COTS+Class 1) so the MLCC matches both the available board space and the mission reliability envelope.
Designers can also specify terminations (e.g. gold or silver‑palladium) and precision sorting down to 0.05% on Type 1 dielectrics, ensuring tight matching across channels in critical space and defense systems.
Integrated directly into an aircraft’s flight control yoke and rudder pedal assembly, measuring the actual forces a pilot applies when pushing, pulling, or banking the controls, both on the ground and in flight.
Stellar Technology modified two CLC910 load cells differently for each control point, the pitch/roll sensor was spline-mounted in stainless steel to fit directly into the existing yoke assembly, while the rudder/brake sensor was built from high-strength aluminium specifically shaped to fit into the customer’s standard rudder pedals without any modification to the pedal itself. Because pitch/roll and rudder/brake forces are mechanically very different (rotational yoke torque vs. foot pressure), each sensor needed its own material, mounting geometry, and load range tuned to that specific control point.
Fighter jet and commercial avionics circuit boards, plus deep-space probe electronics, where components must operate reliably through extreme and rapid temperature swings from a hot desert runway to the cold upper atmosphere in seconds with zero opportunity for maintenance once deployed.
Standard catalogue foil resistors aren’t rated for this environment, so VPG tightened the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) to hold stability across a -65°C to +175°C range and applied a military/space-qualified package able to withstand launch shock, sustained vibration, and long-term radiation exposure. Without this TCR and packaging adjustment, resistance values would drift enough during thermal cycling to compromise flight-critical circuit accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Send your specification, drawings, or datasheet directly to our technical sales team via email once we have started the consultation process. We can then scope feasibility with the relevant manufacturer partner.
Depending on the manufacturer, Aerospace, Space, Military and Medical-grade qualifications and screening programmes are available for custom parts.
1. Share your constraints
Send us your target specs (e.g value, tolerance, voltage range, frequency), operating environment (temperature, vibration, radiation, pressure), and any mechanical limits (footprint, height, mounting style, connector type).
2. We map to manufacturers and options
We identify which of our partners’ product offerings can be tuned to your requirements, including custom values, packages, terminations, screening levels, and compliance standards.
3. Propose a custom solution
You receive a proposed part definition (datasheet‑level spec, outline drawing, screening/qualification plan) that fits your design.
4. Samples and design-in support
In some cases we can supply samples for evaluation and help you integrate them (footprint, layout guidance, calibration or set‑up notes) so you can validate the custom component in your hardware before committing to volume.
5. Production & traceability
Once approved, the same part number and screening flow are used for ongoing production, with full traceability and certificates of conformity for the agreed standards.
