Identifying counterfeit components

Counterfeit components often come disguised or with altered markings that make them hard to detect, but our third-party testing helps to protect your supply chain from counterfeits. Utilizing our expertise and the testing techniques mentioned below, we can inspect, detect, and identify counterfeit components accurately. We rely on a variety of indicators, including black-top detection, country of origin, electrical characterization, indents, logo and marking imperfections, packaging discrepancies, marking permanency, solderability, and texture variance. We are committed to protecting your supply chain and helping you mitigate the risks associated with counterfeit components.
