The Future of Specialist Electronic Component Distribution
Obsolescence and Anti-counterfeit Solutions
Counterfeit Detection Process PlanAdvanced Power Components has been a key supplier of electronic components to the defence and aerospace sector for over 25 years, supplying components into the majority of the UK’s defence and aerospace programmes.
Over 20 years ago APC created its’ Locator division, a semi independent organisation focused on supplying obsolete or hard to find semiconductors, discretes, passives and EMECH.
APC-Locator’s presence in the market has grown significantly in response to the increasing number of problems associated with the influx of counterfeit products into this market sector.
Locator uses some of most extensive and reliable testing procedures available in this market sector with industry recognised accreditations. Our Team prides itself on high levels of knowledge and exemplary service.
Multi stage testing process l Visual inspection
22 individual tests under high magnification (40x minimum).l Historic analysis
Does the device or the vendor have a historical record of counterfeit or stolen product?l Traceability
Is the paperwork and packaging authentic?l Identification
Is the marking authentic?l Die Analysis
Die photography, x-ray analysis, x-ray fluorescence analysis.l Solderability testing
Does the component require re-tinning or has it been removed from a PCB (used device)?l Functionality
100% electrical testing against original manufacturers’ data sheet.

Avoid counterfeit products with APC Locator
Locators extensive testing procedures means you will avoid using counterfeit products like these:
Date-code, lot-code and manufacturers logo correct but device found to have no die when de lid was performed.
Parts supplied in original manufacturers dry-pack. Once opened the devices were found to be re-marked product.
Device marked LM7815 (15 Volt regulator) de-lid revealed LM7812 die (12 Volts).
Original sealedmanufacturers boxes. On inspection product found to be used on various components.
Die analysis identified manufacturers logo missing, appropriately replaced with “cowboy” logo.
On closer inspection 3 different types of die could be seen through the window of the device. One of the devices is shown here.
A simple solvent test removed most of the Remarking on the device.
Product supplied with date/lot code showing all from the same batch device.
Product marked with 9921 date- code but lot code check showed it should be a 0321 date-code device.
Device package badly worn, when tested product was found to be a re-marked device.
