The Risks of Buying Mainland China Parts
Buying components from China is a very risky business. Anytime you source parts outside of franchise, you risk receiving sub-standard mainland China parts.
Millions of tons of scrap electronic products are sent to China yearly. When you buy a taped reel of chips in China, it may be recycled parts, crudely removed from a scrap pcb, cleaned and repackaged.
Counterfeits abound - part numbers are ground off of a 10c part and replaced with a number for a $5 part with the same package. The only safeguard is to have a professional inspect the components you are buying. No alternative provides you with the same margin of safety.
ChipChecker Ltd. - Your Safety Net
