Long Lead Time Components

Obsolete components are an ongoing concern for manufacturers. Locator can find obsolete parts when you need them. We'll send you a quote with availability, pricing and delivery terms. Obsolescence occurs because:

  • Sudden increases in demand exceed supply and production capacity .
  • Manufacturers and franchised distribution underestimate market demands .
  • Purchasing miscalculates their scheduled buy volumes.
  • Small and medium sized OEM's and contract manufacturers can get put on allocation by larger volume purchasers.
  • Specialty components are frequently manufactured on an intermittent basis.

Locator solves hard to find problems for many of its customers. You can request a quote from Locator by filling out our online component sourcing form, or if you just have a general enquiry please contact us.
