How AGS Devices Sources Hard-to-Find and Obsolete Components
Locating hard-to-find, obsolete, or allocation-constrained components is one of the most persistent challenges in electronics procurement. These parts can stall production, drive up costs, and require creative sourcing strategies that go beyond standard distributor channels.
Our approach to difficult sourcing includes:
- Expanding your access: We source from both authorized and certified independent suppliers to find parts others can’t
- Reducing your risk: Every part is inspected, traceable, and compliant, even from secondary markets
- Offering alternatives fast: We identify drop-in or form-fit-function substitutes so your project doesn’t miss a step
Why components become hard to find:
- End-of-life (EOL) phase-outs: Manufacturers discontinue parts due to shifting demand, cost, or product evolution
- Supply chain disruptions: Events like global shortages, factory shutdowns, or geopolitical instability limit availability
- Limited distribution: Niche or specialized components may be produced in small volumes or sold through restricted channels
- Counterfeit risk: Open-market parts can be risky, leading to tighter sourcing controls and restricted access
Strategies To Address Component Shortages
Strategies To Address Component Shortages
- Leverage both authorized and independent distributors to expand reach
- Access excess inventory networks and secondary markets with verified supply
- Use cross-compatible or form-fit-function (FFF) alternatives to replace EOL or unavailable parts
- Confirm live stock and availability before committing to quotes or production schedules
- Inspect and test components when sourcing outside authorized channels to ensure quality and authenticity
Tip: Keeping a proactive list of approved alternates and closely monitoring lifecycle status can reduce last-minute sourcing risks and keep projects on track.
