A supplier with product knowledge and application experience can save hours of "web time" when it comes to sourcing radio frequency and microwave products, says Aspen Electronics.
When sourcing RF and Microwave components, the advice of a trusted supplier is often much needed because these products can have a technically demanding specification. In many cases the item required won't be readily available "off the shelf" and a custom solution may have to be sought. This is when product knowledge and an understanding of the application become the key attributes in a supplier. Buyers will also be looking for impartial advice to balance technical and commercial needs, ideally from a UK-based specialist.
Meeting the requirements of the R&D Team, or finding an alternative to an obsolete component can be time consuming. Most RF & Microwave components don't feature on "equivalents lists" and are not readily searchable online, or available from the catalogue majors. Those that are, require buyers to distinguish between different designs, specifications and manufacturers, which can be quite a minefield.
This is where an old fashioned approach can help. Talk to an established supplier, with experience in the industry, to tap into their knowledge. Doing so can save hours of "web time" and make it unnecessary to prove the worthiness of a brand or component. With over 40 years' experience supplying RF & Microwave products, Aspen Electronics claims to understand what buyers are looking for when faced with the most difficult part of any bill-of-materials.
