Cost effective and reliable electronic component sourcing solutions

With extensive technical expertise, both within APC’s component sourcing team and across our Group, we understand your electronic component requirements and can source a range of parts to overcome any sourcing, availability or quality issues you may be facing.

Drawing on more than four decades of expertise, our component sourcing team works with OEM/CEM customers to help them achieve their strategic component sourcing goals. We provide the cost-effective purchasing of electronic components to ensure your production schedules are maintained and your budgets are kept under control.

Global Procurement with Full Traceability

In addition to our extensive list of franchised manufacturing and technology partners, we have built an unrivalled network of trusted global suppliers of electronic components. Our experienced electronic component sourcing team ensures that we mitigate the risk of buying electronic parts from the open market. Where possible, our team endeavours to source from approved, trusted vendors with OEM certificates and traceability.

With primary expertise in semi-conductors, active, passives and EMECH, we also offer a comprehensive sourcing solution for obsolete, end-of-life and hard-to-find components.

Anti-counterfeit testing to AS6081 and AS6171

Aerospace Standard AS6081A standardises the practices for the identification of reliable sources to procure electrical, electronic, and electromechanical (EEE) parts, to mitigate the risk of distributing suspect counterfeit or counterfeit EEE parts. Revision A of AS6081 now references AS6171 for the test and inspection methods - the gold standard in testing and authenticating electronic components, to ensure parts are genuine and conform to the original part numbers as specified by the original component manufacturer (OCM).

Electrical testing to MIL-STD-750 and MIL-STD-883

Working closely with SMT Corp, we can offer electrical testing services to MIL-STD-750 and MIL-STD-883, enabling component characterisation and up-screening in accordance with MIL-PRF-19500, MIL-PRF-38534, and MIL-PRF-38535.

Retesting and requalification of electronic components

APC's component sourcing team of experts offer comprehensive solutions for electrical load testing to OEM/CEM customers.

Component repackaging

We can tape and reel your components to protect them from the effects of ESD and atmospheric damage during transportation and ongoing storage.
