How to Order Modified Products at DigiKey

Step 1: Request a Quote

Find a standard enclosure that can be modified on DigiKey’s website. Use the self-serve Custom Enclosure Configurator or contact the team at modenclosures@digikey.com. Start the process by providing drawings, design specs, and shipping quantity related to the project request (minimum 25 units for modified items).

Step 2: Place an Order

When using the Custom Enclosure Configurator, orders are submitted directly to Hammond for processing and will be assigned a custom part number which can be referenced when placing orders with DigiKey.

Step 3: Design Approval

Hammond will send a drawing (and artwork proof if needed) to ensure specifications are accurate. After drawings are approved, a single sample is shipped for inspection and testing. Once the sample piece is approved, Hammond will proceed with the orders full production.

Step 4: Time to Reorder or Start New

Custom part numbers are saved for future use. To reorder log into your MyDigiKey account and click “re-order.” To start a new project, input the part number in to the Custom Enclosure Configurator.
