Authorized Distribution
We’re keeping your business moving with 100% authorized, traceable, certified and guaranteed devices.
Our factory-direct offering negates the need for expensive testing. Rochester is AS6496 compliant.
As an original manufacturer stocking distributor, Rochester has over 15 billion devices in stock encompassing more than 200,000-part numbers, providing the world’s most extensive range of end-of-life (EOL) and broadest range of active semiconductors.
We provide a continuous source of supply of both active components, to solve supply chain disruption, and EOL semiconductors, to meet long-term customer needs. With direct sales and support staff in all major markets, we aim to meet your needs over the phone or via our e-commerce platforms anytime, anywhere.
During component shortages and long lead-times, when products may be harder to find and customers may be faced with line-down situations, it is important to know that you can quickly identify and obtain product risk-free from Rochester Electronics.
Over 10 billion of our in-stock devices, are classed as EOL by the original component manufacturer. Rochester provides a continuous source of supply for applications where the product lifecycle extends beyond the active availability of a device.

Case Studies
Safety First in Military Aviation
A manufacturer turned to Rochester Electronics to source replacements for counterfeit devices in their engine control modules with fully licensed and authorized products.
Why the Authorized Source is The Best Solution
Manufacturers face significant challenges when a critical device becomes obsolete or reaches its “end of life” stage. This scenario almost crippled one transportation manufacturer’s nuclear submarine development program.
Solving Obsolescence Challenges
Rochester provided an authorized solution for a telecommunications OEM that required a critical obsolete field-programmable gate array (FGPA).

What is a Safe Shelf Life for 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.
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.
