Car AC Compressor Specification Example for Dealership Service: Folding Type
Car AC Compressor Specification Example for Dealership Service: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for car ac compressor in a folding type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The folding type version exists because the duty cycle on dealership service is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a specification nobody had written down.

Example specification
| Item | Car AC Compressor |
|---|---|
| Application | Dealership Service |
| Version | Folding Type |
| Base material | Sintered Metal |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 500 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | IATF 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Sintered Metal, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.

Processes involved
- ultrasonic cleaning
- laser cutting
- rubber vulcanisation
- electroplating
- injection moulding
- anodising
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for dealership service. Related applications include boat trailers, trailer axles, municipal fleets, dealership service, utility trailers.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
