How to avoid financial and legal disaster by correctly sourcing your components

The market is flooded with not only cheap, but also illegal copies of electronic components from counterfeiters around the world. Saving a few pounds on the BOM, however, can cause some costly issues in the field. To avoid all these financial and legal troubles, RECOM is urging customers to buy its AC/DC and DC/DC converters from authorised distributors only, such as Dengrove.

Buying RECOM converters from an unauthorised source can lead to major issues in your design, as it is almost certain that these cheap copies do not conform to RECOM’s high quality standards. For RECOM it is important to protect its customers against inferior fakes which can cause machines and devices to malfunction, increasing production downtimes, shortening application lifetimes or even endangering people. On their website, these counterfeiters even use original product images from RECOM, but in reality both part number designation and logo are fake. RECOM is working hard to track down the illegal providers and take legal action against them. Customers should protect themselves from such unpleasant surprises by obtaining their converters exclusively through authorised distributors.
