FEAR FACTOR

The risk of being burned by counterfeit semiconductor parts supplied by unauthorized sources is increasing each year. As counterfeiters become more sophisticated, the probability of receiving re-marked devices with falsified part numbers or company logos, empty devices with no die, falsified paperwork and RoHS compliance or counterfeit chips is too great. Don't be fooled, and be sure to only buy your discontinued semiconductor parts from the original manufacturer or authorized distributor like Rochester Electronics. Read more >>

Rochester Transforms End-of-Life to Extension-of-Life™

An important consideration of product design should be the manufacturers' continuing support through end-of-life (EOL). Does the manufacturer simply EOL a product and leave you with a costly, time consuming and difficult re-design or have they established an Extension-of-Life™ program that provides continuity of supply for years to come?

This is why many of the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers' have authorized and licensed Rochester Electronics to support their customers' continuing requirements. By acquiring the original manufacturer's die and/or technical intellectual property, Rochester's Extension-of-Life program provides a continuing manufacturing source for industries requiring long term support.

What about the times when there is no original manufacturer's die or intellectual property available? Rochester's SRP (Semiconductor Replication Process)™ re-creates products through reverse engineering to produce the exact specification and performance of the original. Rochester's in-house staff of design engineers has years of experience and expertise and, with over 100 successful Rochester SRP™ products, there is no greater solution.
