Anti-counterfeit assurance
Sourcing through authorised channels removes most of the risk. It does not remove the obligation to check. Every inbound lot is verified against factory documentation and inspected before it can be quoted or released.

Process
Every stage is recorded against the lot or programme, so a customer audit can follow the trail without asking us to reconstruct it.
- 01
Documentation and provenance
Factory invoice, date code, lot trace and packaging photographs are checked against the authorised channel before goods are booked in. A lot that cannot show a coherent paperwork trail is stopped at goods-in, regardless of how the price looks.
- 02
Material and marking analysis
Termination finish is verified by XRF, solderability is tested, and laser or ink marking is compared against the manufacturer datasheet and known-good reference samples. Package dimensions and coplanarity are measured against the drawing.
- 03
Imaging and internal inspection
X-ray and 2D/3D scanning confirm die presence, bond integrity and leadframe consistency where value or risk justifies it. Decapsulation is used selectively, on customer instruction and with the lot quarantined until disposition.
- 04
Electrical verification and disposition
Curve trace and functional test at incoming inspection, with results filed against the lot record. A failed lot is quarantined, reported to the supplier and the customer, and never released into a second sales channel.
