An electronic component becomes obsolete when it is no longer available from the original manufacturer to the original specification. It can cause major headaches because electronics are often designed to use that specific component.
The rate of component obsolescence keeps pace with the pace of technological advancement. Key components can quickly become obsolete – they are announced as being at the ‘end-of-life’ (EOL), meaning that they will no longer be produced to that specification.
Obsolescence management must become a key part of supply chain management for clients, to ensure that they are not caught out by a sudden EOL announcement.
Here at Rebound we have invested heavily in a deep spread of supply worldwide to support our clients with new sources and availability without compromising our quality.

Our line card offers a broad technology mix covering a wide range of applications. It is designed to offer our clients more cost-effective alternatives to Tier 1 brands which are now under lead time pressure as well as offering a viable alternative on our customers with the advent of aggressive obsolescence from major Manufacturers.

An electronic component becomes obsolete when it is no longer available from the original manufacturer to the original specification. It can cause major headaches because electronics are often designed to use that specific component.
The rate of component obsolescence keeps pace with the pace of technological advancement. Key components can quickly become obsolete – they are announced as being at the ‘end-of-life’ (EOL), meaning that they will no longer be produced to that specification.
While you can’t prevent component obsolescence, the sooner you know it is happening, the better, as it allows you more time to make the necessary changes.
If the component is critical to your product, you may have to redesign it so that it no longer uses the obsolete part or find an alternative component that is available to replace it in the current design. You will also need to make sure you have enough of the component to complete any orders you have already taken if a redesign is not possible.
