Arrow Electronics Collaborates with Resurgent Semiconductor to Offer Certified Discontinued Components
August 03 2015 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today announced it is working
with Resurgent Semiconductor to provide Arrow customers with access
to certified semiconductor components previously discontinued by
their original manufacturers.
“Working together, Arrow and Resurgent will provide
manufacturers with uninterrupted, long-term access to the certified
parts they need,” said David West, vice president of semiconductor
marketing for Arrow. “This collaboration will further enhance
Arrow's demonstrated expertise in solving long-term availability
challenges for customers through a spectrum of end-of-life product
services.”
Consumer demand for faster, smaller and cheaper technology has
created challenges for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with
long product lifecycles, like those in the defense, aerospace and
industrial markets. Component suppliers eventually discontinue
products to make way for their faster, smaller and cheaper
replacements. That has traditionally forced OEMs into challenging
tradeoffs between redesign and large “last-time-buy” investments in
discontinued parts.
“This collaboration with Arrow will help provide OEMs with
greater certainty around their long-term design decisions,” said
Duker Dapper, president of Resurgent Semiconductor. “We look
forward to working with Arrow to bring cost-saving replacement
parts to manufacturers around the world.”
Resurgent acquires manufacturing rights to original component
manufacturers’ (OCM) products that would otherwise be phased out.
The company maintains the same supply chain as the OCM for
consistency and ensures that all parts are fabricated based on the
OCM’s specifications.
As a franchised distributor, Arrow is authorized to market and
sell the OCM products Resurgent produces through fabless
manufacturing. All parts purchased from Arrow are shipped with full
certificates of compliance, removing any counterfeit risk.
Resurgent will initially make two Freescale Proximity Capacitive
Touch Sensor Controllers (MPR031EPR2 and MPR121QR2) available
exclusively through Arrow’s Supply Assurance group. Arrow Supply
Assurance will eventually carry a broad range of Resurgent-branded
discontinued or soon-to-discontinued components.
