Anyone here use netcomponents.com? They seem to be a listing service for parts brokers. To view the search results and contact the sellers requires registration complete with five credit references and banking info on company letterhead. They are not explicit, but banking references usually includes account and routing numbers.

I believe they are legit, but I don't know for sure. I'm not going to send them account numbers though.

Anyone heard of them? Use them?

They have many listings for a part I need that is unobtainium. If they are legit they might be useful.

I have never heard about them. A bit suspicious that they claim they are marked leader, but no one knows them :-)

You could look them up on D&B.

This could be very good if a real site !

Parts, especially certain micros are hard to find !

I think it is real, but the main line distributors are all known. This has to be a listing site for brokers. I hope they qualify the brokers as well as they qualify the buyers.

I'm guessing that depends upon who they get paid by...

Some guys in South Florida, surprise (not). For some reason those broker types seem to congregate there.

None of the three principals has a photo on their linkedin and the president comes from a nutritional supplement background. The director appears to have a long background in components, and other guy has been involved with Asian imports.

Have you tried OEMSTRADE.COM? They don't charge you for a search. I checked out an obsolete OTP micro we used and they had tons of them apparently available from many suppliers. The one time I used them to do a last time buy of 1K of something or other it worked out fine.

Thanks. Just gave them a try and sent contacts to a dozen vendors. We'll see if any come up with parts... real parts.

I've ordered 500 pieces of the AKM part on Alibaba and they are stuck in NY waiting for payment of an import duty. I guess I thought we didn't have that anymore... surprise!

Yes, parts from AKM I would imagine are sought after since they had their fire last year (?)

We are having a hell of a time getting certain micros and some other regular parts you wouldn't think there would be a proglem obtaining.

Yeah, the AKM part is not easy to find, but they are on Alibaba for sure. I just paid a $1,300 tariff on a $5,000 order of AKM which I will need to test in week or so. $10 just became $12.50 each. I can pass that on to the customer I suppose. If they don't place their order in the next couple of weeks the quote will expire and I'll make sure to add a notice of import tariff fees.

The tough one is going to be the ADG1411YRUZ from ADI. No factory fire, just a shortage. Factory lead time is 34 weeks.
