Also named, based in another state

The five questions we asked

Every company in this cell is measured on the same questions, written the way a buyer would type them. That is what makes the ranking a comparison rather than a collection of anecdotes.

1“Best suppliers of electrical terminals and connectors in California”
2“Who supplies high-temperature crimp ring terminals in California”
3“I need a California supplier for bulk insulated wire connectors for a control panel build, who should I talk to”
4“Top electrical terminals and connectors suppliers in California for OEM electrical equipment buyers”
5“Which California electrical terminal and connector suppliers can provide custom overmolded cable assemblies”
6“List 20 electrical terminals and connectors companies in California with their specialties.”the roster question

Each question is asked more than once, which is why a company's score is out of 15 answers rather than out of the number of questions.
