With the advancement in semiconductor technology, the application of electronic circuits has increased by leaps and bounds. Today’s advanced technologies in devices such as telecom, smartphones, satellites, wearables, and automobiles need electronic circuits to function. Designing an electronic circuit to perform a task involves active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, associated passive electrical components, and interconnection technologies.
Companies around the world are innovating new components to enhance the capabilities of these circuits. So, occasionally an existing component gets replaced by its new or upgraded version. It boosts new capabilities, power efficiency, and much more than its last version. Research and development of a new component or its upgraded version involves a huge cost. It is recovered from the market. Further, due to increased demand these components frequently remain in short supply.
Challenges:
While the designers of advanced electronics always need new components, there are still many designers, companies, and students who search for obsolete, alternative, and cheap common-used components. This is due to ease of application and to cut costs that go into redesigning the product. One can easily find new components directly from the supplier or any electronics mall platform. However, finding an obsolete, alternative, and cheap product is still a challenge. Either these components simply are not available or they are in short supply in the market.
Further, as with any other product, the market is flooded with refurbished, counterfeit, and inferior electronic components. Modern counterfeiting technology is so advanced that it is difficult to tell if something is real or fake, brand new or refurbished, even with advanced testing equipment or a professional third-party testing agency. Indeed, one can suffer a loss as a result of his ignorance. Purchasing these components requires a lot of courage.
Now the question is, what can be done to buy obsolete, scarce, alternative, and low-cost common-used electronic components with quality assurance? Clearly, dependable and expert component procurement malls can assist in the purchase of genuine products from the source.
Solution:
Since 1999, WIN SOURCE has been committed to supporting clients in promptly and accurately locating obsolete, end-of-life, and hard-to-find components, as well as acquiring genuine common-used parts at low prices. They are very aware of the difficulty of sourcing obsolete electronic components.
They continually optimise in-stock inventories and a global network of suppliers. This is to shorten procurement cycles, decrease transaction costs, and supply high-quality electronic components at reasonable pricing.
Rather than frantically calling sources all over the world for components, buyers can gain rapid access to ready-to-ship safety stock. Further, they can complete procurement quickly with a few quick clicks. Meanwhile, Win-Source provides a wide range of Value-Added Services to better help designers. Win Source can handle anything from tape and reeling to component programming and contract production. All of their value-added services are performed in one of their ESD-compliant warehouses by highly trained (by the SMTA and IPC organisations) and experienced technicians.
All WIN SOURCE activities, including order input, customer support, receiving, picking, shipping, purchasing, and inventory, are AS9120B, ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001 certified. They always adhere to the outstanding quality as a member of ERAI (an authorised anti-counterfeiting organisation), ASA association, IPC association, and SMTA association, putting an end to all false and poor items.
