Whether you are an OEM or an independent distributor buying on the open market, undetected, substandard, counterfeit parts pose one of the most significant risks to your business. Counterfeit electronic components used to be relatively easy to identify because counterfeiters manufactured them quickly with little attention to detail. But as the market grew, so too did the skill of overseas suppliers creating counterfeit products.
Today, counterfeit electronics components often appear almost identical to their authentic counterparts, making it easier for counterfeit parts to enter the supply chain. The problem is that these components are substandard, often meeting vastly inferior specifications.
authenticity testing is the key to counterfeit detection.
If your company creates electronic assets from refurbished components, it is essential to your reputation and the reputation of your resellers that you authenticate your products and detect any counterfeits before they go to market.
Counterfeit electronic component detection, accomplished through authenticity testing, mitigates the risks posed by substandard parts, including high replacement costs, delays in time to market, and damage to your company’s reputation.
