Access sourcing solutions for excess electronic component inventory, helping customers locate available parts, manage supply requirements, and keep production moving.
When a manufacturer discontinues a component, finding a reliable replacement isn't always possible. Existing equipment may depend on a specific manufacturer part number, redesigning a product may not be practical, and remaining inventory can become increasingly difficult to locate.
Connect Electronics helps customers source obsolete, discontinued, end-of-life, and hard-to-find electronic components through established supplier relationships and global sourcing channels.
Whether you need a legacy component for ongoing production, equipment maintenance, repair, or a last-time-buy requirement, our sourcing specialists can investigate available supply options based on your specific requirements.
Electronic components can become difficult to source for many reasons. Manufacturers may discontinue a product family, transition to a newer technology, close a production facility, or announce an end-of-life program.
For customers operating existing equipment, however, the need for that component may continue long after regular production has ended.
Provide the manufacturer part number, manufacturer name, required quantity, and any additional requirements you have available.
Our team reviews the part number and sourcing requirements to understand exactly what you need, including quantity, condition, delivery requirements, and applicable documentation.
We investigate established supplier relationships and global sourcing channels for available inventory and potential supply options.
Available supplier and product information is reviewed against your requirements. Where applicable, we can request supporting documentation and traceability information.
We'll provide available information such as quantity, pricing, lead time, condition, and applicable documentation so your team can evaluate the sourcing opportunity.
Replacing an obsolete component isn't always as simple as selecting a newer part.
A replacement may require engineering changes, qualification, testing, redesign, or regulatory review. For many customers, sourcing the original manufacturer part number remains an important option.
Keep legacy machinery, automation systems, and other equipment operational.
Locate components needed to continue manufacturing products that rely on discontinued parts.
Help procurement teams investigate available supply when manufacturers announce discontinuation or end-of-life programs.
Source difficult-to-find components for repair, replacement, and maintenance requirements.
Investigate additional sources when standard distribution channels cannot meet a requirement.
Obsolete component sourcing requires careful attention to the available product and supplier information.
Our sourcing approach considers factors such as manufacturer part number, supplier information, product condition, quantity, available documentation, and traceability requirements.
For applicable requirements, documentation such as Certificates of Conformance and traceability information may be requested from suppliers. Our quality-focused processes are designed to help customers evaluate sourcing opportunities and reduce supply chain risk.
Every obsolete part requirement is different. We'll work with you to understand the specific requirements of your application and procurement team.
If a component is no longer available through your normal supply channels, that doesn't necessarily mean your sourcing options have ended.
Our team can investigate difficult-to-source manufacturer part numbers and identify available supply opportunities based on your requirements.
Whether you need one component for a repair or larger quantities for ongoing production, send us the part number and let our sourcing specialists investigate.
