With more than 30 years of industry experience, our team works to identify sourcing options that align with your specific requirements, from standard production components to obsolete, allocated, and hard-to-find parts.

Our Component Sourcing Capabilities

Active & Current Components

Source active electronic components for ongoing production, new product development, maintenance, and replacement requirements. Our team can help identify available supply based on manufacturer, MPN, quantity, lead time, and other purchasing requirements.

Obsolete & End-of-Life Components

When a manufacturer has discontinued a component, finding suitable remaining inventory can become a critical supply chain challenge.

Connect Electronics helps customers identify available sourcing options for obsolete and end-of-life components when authorized or current distribution channels may no longer meet the requirement.

Allocated & Constrained Components

Allocation and supply constraints can create production delays and increase procurement pressure.

Our sourcing team can investigate additional supply options and work with our supplier network to help customers address constrained component requirements.

Hard-to-Find Components

Need a component that isn't readily available through your normal supply channels?

Submit the manufacturer part number and quantity you need. Our sourcing specialists can investigate available options and provide information on pricing, availability, lead times, and applicable product details.
