PCB manufacturers, PCB designers and PCBA manufacturers explain how to ensure that PCBA contracted components are purchased without fake or second-hand materials.

At present, there are numerous electronIC component agents and traders in the MARKet, all of whom are advocating that they are genuine electronIC components. The truth is that some agents often sell fake materials in order to seek benefits.
