How long does an ODM card connector project take?

Standard milestones: drawing confirmation within 24 hours, functional samples in 3–7 days, and tooling plus the first molded sample in 25 days from design freeze.

For full ODM projects, pilot-run and mass-production schedules depend on volume and part complexity. The dates are written into the project schedule before you approve tooling — fixed in writing, not estimated in chat.
