MNR was originally approached to create a custom Mfi lighting connector cable and custom contact pads for a retail payment terminal having successfully fulfilled that brief the project expanded to include other components
The Design Process…
Having designed an fully tested the Mfi lightning connector cable and custom contact pads. MNR Technology developed a highly commercial appliance with the ergonomic use at the forefront of the design.
The casing was also developed in-house design, along with the tooling and PCBA board manufacturing. The final assembly was created with a new custom widget to enable data transfer from the final device to the client’s secure portal.

Key Project Elements…
Creative thinking: MNR’s involvement and creative thinking during the project led to the design of a casted base for a weighted docking station.
Consulation & Collaboration:The approach to this project allowed MNR Technology’s expertise to be called upon to help clients resolve challenges as the design process entered prototyping and manufacturing.
Finalizing the design and manufacture: As well as designing and manufacturing the casted base, MNR Technology also manufactured the Power/DataCom PCBA and the final assembly of the completed docking station.
The Final Product…
MNR Technology was able to resolve the complex design and manufacturing challenges the customer was finding difficult and unable to overcome.
MNR Technology was able to recommend a new way to assemble and bond the complex TPE case and retaining gasket to the surrounding case securely, unlocking the final challenge of the design build project.
