Attached are excerpts from an article I saw on the industry problem of IC's being counterfeited all over the world. Buti na lang hindi nabanggit ang Raon.

China seemingly unable to stem tide of bad components

“…According to the Electronics Resellers Association Inc. (ERAI), an independent distribution industry watchdog, about 70% of the nearly 200 complaints it receives each month involve counterfeit or substandard parts from China.
"The advice I give is to continue to buy from independent distributors," said ERAI president Kristal Snider. "… Anyone can sell a counterfeit, re-marked, or failing part."
What's most troubling to many industry veterans is the fact that the market for counterfeit parts shows no signs of slackening, despite the fact that global demand has been relatively weak for several years.
"Intellectual property theft and counterfeiting has become an industrywide and global concern," said Robin Gray Jr., executive vice president of the National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA) … "We have seen a huge influx of knock-offs and counterfeit and generic products that borrow or steal intellectual property."
…China is not the only source of counterfeit and substandard products. In fact, some companies claim that California is sprouting a cottage industry of counterfeit parts.
SND Electronics Inc., a hybrid independent/authorized ... has developed what it says is an "extensive black list" of brokers and independent distributors that it forbids its procurement specialists from doing business with.
Even so, the company recently bought Vishay Intertechnology Inc. resistors from a California broker that was not on its list, only to find that the color-coding was off on most of the shipment….
The Vishay part number engraved on the resistors … does not exist. SND is working with the FBI in the hope of resolving the issue.
EMS provider Sparton Electronics, Jackson, Mich., said that it received faulty engineering samples in May and bought bogus components for a production run in January….
"We were desperate to find these parts to build the legacy system for our customer, but when we got the parts there was no die inside," said Stephanie Martin, vice president of corporate material acquisition and logistics. "The Linear Technology part number is LT1040DSW. We bought 100 pieces in January and paid $8.96 for what should have been in the high-$2 range for a new part." |

nothing new...
a global issue that can be solved at their respective backyards.
each company should take a serious look on their shop floor control and security.
each company should be responsible for their own counterfeited parts.
and each company should be responsible in announcing to the market how to distinguish the real thing.
if each company would be responsible enough, we will see this issue go down the drain...
similarly in any issue we would have, if each and everyone of us will be responsible enough...there's not reason why such issue shall persist.
nothing new...with the sense of responsibility - this will always result to ACT (Accountability-Character-Transparency)!!! |
