Electronic Component Counterfeit Incidents Continue To Rise
Electronic Component Counterfeit Incidents Continue To Rise
The state of the industry has changed in a few key ways that provide strong motivation to counterfeiters. Fake parts made to look real, substandard parts and scrapped parts that should have been destroyed by the manufacturer are all making their way back into the supply chain. In 2011, over 1300 counterfeit incidents were reported to the ERAI from around the world. That’s more than double the number reported in 2010 and 2008, and quadruple the number reported in 2009. Counterfeit parts often are cheap substitutes or fail to meet quality requirements, leading to potential failures. However, each incident can include thousands of purchased parts.
"Counterfeit parts represent a serious and growing risk to the electronics supply chain in general and to the aerospace and defense industry in particular," said Rory King, director, supply chain product marketing at IHS
