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.
