Any resource recommendations i.e. sites or books on how to write a quality electrical hardware specification for outsourced manufacturing? I've done these in the past, but am at a new company and looking for various options and approaches before committing to anything.

Thanks,

Just look at any good component specs and follow the same content in any format you wish.

Define: Inputs, Processes, Outputs
Define: Constraints Not to exceed ( absolute Max)
Define: Environmental limits: CLimatic, Mechanical, Electrical
Define: Agency approvals
Define: Terminology and Theory of operation unless too restrictive.

Do not define how to do it or what technology to use.
Define: Budget for recurring and non-recurring, Production target costs, DFM, DFT requirements

Then Define a Test Plan based on these Specs and verify each parameter with defined qty and acceptance critieria.

Define MTBF requirements and accelerated testing methods with probability factors.
That should be well written and fit in a few pages.
