Flap Relay Update

I last updated the flap relay progress with this post in January. I reported then that we had vendor selection issues and that continued through the rest of the winter. Progress with a new vendor was good but slow, but I would much rather take a few extra weeks to get the design right than rush something into production that doesn't work well.

We received the pre-production versions last week and they are now in testing. We are verifying that the product works as predicted, but also verifying the production test equipment that we designed and the production test procedure. So a lot of design validation and verification for these little parts, and it is expected to take us a few weeks to complete this and update any drawings and procedures.

Production lead times are typically around 12 weeks (hopefully less) from when we place the order, so I wouldn't expect to see new parts for a little while yet, probably the end of the summer.
