QTSL Program (Qualified Testing Suppliers List)

The purpose of the Qualified Testing Suppliers List (QTSL) Program is to establish and maintain a list of pre-qualified sources for certain electronic components that are purchased and managed by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime. QTSL products are provided by suppliers that combine accepted counterfeit mitigation practices and quality assurance procedures that are consistent with industry and international quality standards. This program is applicable to selected Federal Stock Class (FSCs) 5961 and 5962 items where a streamlined acquisition process is desired to improve the quality and services provided to customers.

Rochester Electronics Semiconductor Lifecycle Solutions™: An Authorized Source for Obsolete Semiconductor Devices

Only the Rochester Electronics Semiconductor Lifecycle Solution can provide an absolute guarantee

that a replacement semiconductor device will function exactly as the original.

The Myth Behind Commercial Off-the-Shelf Up-Screening

The alternative to standard COTS devices is authorized product enhancement and manufacturing.

Avoiding DO-254 Events: Major/Minor Change Classification

Semiconductor ASICs and standard products are subjected to manufacturing obsolescence, and as such

there is a need to create a form, fit, and functionally equivalent device.

The Quality of Test

The “Rochester Engineering Driven Test Approach” assures that the proper test coverage is implemented for all IC components tested at our corporate test facility, regardless of product functionality, process, and technology, or market segment application.

The Effects of Long-Term Storage on Solderability of Semiconductor Components

For items that have been in long-term storage, quality and reliability are key concerns. To determine the quality

of aged components in real-world applications, Rochester performed an analysis of solderability by using an industry-standard board mount with solder paste and reflow manufacturing process.

The Effects of Long-Term Storage on Mechanical Integrity and Electrical Performance of Semiconductor Components

Long-term storage represents a viable solution to maintaining a continuous supply of semiconductor components in long-lifecycle applications but how does long-term storage affect performance? Rochester tested components, spanning a variety of package styles, stored for periods of up to 17 years.

Compatibility of Traditional Solderability Testing for Aged Semiconductor Components

Despite increasing industry acknowledgment that date code restrictions lack an empirical basis, some users of semiconductor components and contract manufacturers still enforce limitations on older products. This study builds on previous research and evaluates SMT components' solderability and board assembly performance after long-term storage.
