Purpose:

Authenticate and validate the structure of components’ surface, Package and leads.

The Threats:  

Physical damage. High magnification is crucial to ensure there is no physical damage to the components’ package and leads. Physical damage, if found, may be caused due to improper handling and storing of the devices, and could lead to malfunction during soldering and operating. Specifically, existence of cracks and scratches on the package, corrosion and oxidization of the package and leads, bent leads or damaged BGA spheres – must be found, documented and require progressive tests and assessments prior accepting or rejecting the lot.

Refurbished parts may not work at all, or worse, partially work for limited time or limited functions. The original P/N and Date Codes could be different from what appears on the parts’ marking. It could be an OLDER device, REDUCED functionality device, or completely DIFFERENT P/N and manufacturer.

Prior Use. Used parts may also not work at all, or partially work with unexpected functionality and MTBF. While being removed from the PCB, the components are exposed to extreme heat and humidity, burn in a direct fire and then placed in water, and as a result, severely and permanently damaged.

The Leads or BGA balls may be damaged as well, or being manipulated or replaced.

WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF OBSOLESCENCE?

Electronic Components which are defined as Obsolete are no longer manufactured by the OCM.

Any component is subject to become obsolete when it is being replaced by a better or newer technology (for instance, a smaller silicon process, or an extended functionality device) while other are discontinued due to reduce of market demand.

Electronic products are being designed to function with specific electronic components a replacement of even a single component might lead to additional re-design modifications as well. Therefore, when an OCM discontinues a specific component that is still being used in production among the industry, OEM’s are usually taking rapid actions in order to secure their line of production for the future years. 

When it comes to obsolete electronic components, it is a common practice to source the necessary obsolete components, rather than re-design a replacement component(which may often cause more functional problems than expected). 

when it comes to sourcing obsolete electronic component, Traceability, Testing and Authentication are the keys to ensure functional and continuation of production.

GreenTree Electronics provides reliable and authenticated obsolete electronic components to various applications, including Military, Medical, and Industrial, to hundreds of OEM’s around the globe.
