Today’s component market is focused on producing goods that will yield the highest return. Little or no attention is focused on what the end-users needs are. The product lifecycles are shorter and shorter. The cost of electronics goods are getting higher and higher. If the end-user did not do their Last Time Buy, or their need increases, it will result in the end-user being forced to buy the goods on the grey market. This market inherently comes with certain risks, such as: counterfeit components, refurbished goods, etc. These are risks that VICTORY CHIPS can help to lower through its stringent quality assurance and vendor management procedures, where VICTORY CHIPS inspects the goods using digital electronic microscopes. If the client wishes they can view these digital enlargements before accepting the goods. Should the component not be available in as new and unused condition, VICTORY CHIPS can offer to re-certify the component in accordance with the manufacturers electrical characteristics as per its datasheet. These examinations will result in a report where the tests and the results are declared. The cost of these tests varies according to the complexity of the component and the quantity tested. Individual quotes are made for each test needed.
