Obsolete & End-of-Life Component Sourcing
When a manufacturer issues an EOL notice, the clock starts ticking. We source the components you need to keep your products running.
Manufacturers issue thousands of end-of-life notices every year. When a component on your BOM gets discontinued, your options narrow quickly: find remaining stock before it's gone, qualify an alternative (which takes months), or redesign. We handle option one so you have time for the other two.
What makes obsolete sourcing different
Obsolete components aren't sitting on distributor shelves. They're scattered across excess inventory holders, end-of-life stockpiles, and specialty channels worldwide. Finding them takes a sourcing network beyond DigiKey and Mouser, such as ours in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and care in checking that what you get is genuine, properly stored and within usable date codes.
What we source
EOL Notices
Components with active end-of-life notices from any manufacturer.
Discontinued Parts
Components no longer in any distributor's standard catalog.
Legacy MRO Components
Components needed for maintenance, repair, and overhaul of existing systems.
Product Line Exit Parts
Parts from manufacturers that have exited specific product lines.
Date-Code Specific Components
Need a specific date code (for example for defence or aerospace work)? Say so on your request and we search for it.
Sources and paperwork
Known Sources
We work with known sources in our Shenzhen and Hong Kong network, not open-market aggregators where counterfeit risk is high.
Traceability Documents
Traceability documents where the source provides them; on request we tell you where a lot comes from. Every order carries a GST invoice and the import paperwork for your audit file.
Have an obsolete part number you need sourced?
Send it over, or the whole BOM it sits in. We'll check our sourcing network in Shenzhen and Hong Kong and usually get back to you within a working day. No commitment required.
