Sourcing for Obsolete or Hard-to-Find Components
As technology evolves, some components may become obsolete or discontinued by the manufacturer. In such cases, sourcing becomes more challenging.
Strategies to Overcome Challenges:
-
Alternative Suppliers: Look for alternative suppliers who may have stock of discontinued parts.
-
Component Substitution: Consider substituting the obsolete part with an equivalent component that meets the same electrical and mechanical specifications.
-
Surplus or Second-Hand Components: In some cases, it may be necessary to source second-hand or surplus components from reputable brokers.
