What do you need to know in order to choose an outstanding independent distributor of electronic parts?
Many businesses use a combination of supplier styles during a product&#;s lifecycle, from working directly with the manufacturer to independent distributors. A multitude of choices are at your fingertips with access to components worldwide that are online.
The last thing you want to spend time on when you&#;re under pressure is finding parts on short notice or to source hard-to-find parts while vetting multiple distributors.
Do not settle for access that is less than remarkable. Working with an independent distributor is all about opening up possibilities outside the norm. Your dealer needs to have it all, from real-time sourcing to in-stock options to cost-savings techniques. In order to get a sense of the reach of a distributor, ask about the sum total of components to which a distributor has access at any given time.
To check for the components you need &#; what system does your independent electronic parts distributor use? You need a proven search tool if the needs are urgent, which provides opportunities to save costs or find parts in a scarce market. It will provide insight into their method to inquire about what search methods they use.
You need reputation and reliability &#; Check for certifications, inspections of products and ask about the handling of quality materials. Exceptional quality enforcement, audit records and successful procedures for preventing counterfeiting are all relevant, even more so if they have more than a decade of experience.

Your search should be accelerated by the appropriate independent distributor. If the part you need is not stored, do they work around the clock to find it? On requests for quotations &#; what is their answer time?
A distributor&#;s involvement degree doesn&#;t tell it all, but don&#;t ignore it. You need a partner who can jump on opportunities to provide your needs with the best and most cost-effective materials.
The four above considerations should specifically be discussed with any future partner. They are probably not a good match for you if there are any doubts about their operation, responsiveness, how long they have worked in electronic parts distribution, or how they can minimize your costs.
Ask about internal procedures &#; beyond verifying basics, such as certifications and business participation. Openness is a must for audits, inspections, supplier scores, and protocols for counterfeit avoidance.
Your top priority is consistency. It is paramount to choose an independent electronic parts dealer with the same principles. The quality compliance record of your distributor essentially speaks for itself, but choosing based on these characteristics will give you the outstanding experience you need and deserve.

I wouldn't expect a "100nF 50V", say , capacitor to drop by ~90% at 3.3V, no.But I know better than to leave that open for abuse.What if they simply give you the wrong part, period? You'll never know until you test them, or the product fails. Maybe your product never fails, and they charge you for all those extra capacitors you've not actually been needing all along. (Again, not that, say, a 1nF X7R is any more than a pittance cheaper than a 100nF. My point is about the opportunity in the first place, not the degree to which it might occur.)The more usual case is having a design intent for x uF, but it ends up x/10 at operating voltage because characteristics suck. And maybe that's x/20 or x/4 between different sources, and you won't know and it'll probably fuck up your, say, supply compensation or something, because you can't predict that at design time.Most design cases just need x uF, period, under whatever conditions are relevant. The above is the rookie mistake; having learned this lesson, the veteran might count on the characteristic of a particular part to be, say, -70% at 30V, so using 3.3 times "more" of them to compensate. But that strategy also fails, in precisely the same way, if the characteristic ends up different from the design value.I'm not sure what thought process would lead you to expect any design to work with the wrong parts placed. What's different about a capacitor, versus a resistor, or a logic IC? You can't exactly replace a NE555 with a uA741, yet you're suggesting an error of comparable magnitude should be somehow acceptable.Pray tell, Mr. Babbage, if the wrong numbers are put into the machine, does the correct answer still come out?(Mind, specific to capacitors, this doesn't even mention the subtle differentiators -- reliability factors like AEC-Q200, flex term, fail-open, floating-metal types, and so on. These are even more insidious as you basically have to section and micrograph the part to figure out what it is, or endure huge field failure rates from poorly trusted supply chains!)Tim
