Component sourcing

A wider search for the parts you need

When controlled stock and standard supply cannot meet your requirements, SemiKey searches a network of more than 2,000 approved suppliers for suitable sources and batches.

Component sourcing

Source the requirement—not just the part number.

We assess potential supply against your quantity, required date, batch and quality requirements. Our quote explains the proposed supply and highlights any information gaps or deviations, so you can evaluate the offer before you order.

When to use component sourcing

Shortages

Your current supply cannot meet the required quantity or date.

End-of-life parts

Production has ended, or the last-time-buy window has closed.

Allocation limits

The quantity allocated to you is not enough for your production needs.

Specific batch requirements

You need a specific date code, lot or packaging, or have traceability or testing requirements.

Alternate parts

Your engineering team has approved alternate parts or needs candidates to review.

How component sourcing works

01

Requirements and search

We confirm your requirements and assess potential sources and batches within our approved supplier network.

02

Quote

Your quote covers quantity, price, validity and estimated fulfillment, plus known batch conditions, source category, available traceability and the inspection plan. Any information gaps or deviations from your requirements are highlighted for your approval.

03

Customer approval

Alternates or changed conditions require your written approval. Your team remains responsible for engineering approval of alternate parts.

04

Purchase and delivery

We purchase against your approved order and complete the required inspection before shipment. The default warranty is three years from the date you receive the components. A product-specific warranty condition applies only if SemiKey discloses it and you expressly accept it before you submit your order or accept the relevant quotation.
