Counterfeit Components

Safeguarding Against Counterfeit Semiconductor Components

Counterfeit products pose a serious and pervasive challenge within the semiconductor industry. Despite ongoing efforts by governments and industry associations to curb this illicit activity, counterfeiting continues to escalate, plaguing the electronics supply chain with disastrous consequences. The manufacturing and distribution of counterfeit devices not only damages the brand reputation of high-quality companies like AEM and its brands; it also erodes the value of our legitimate products.

As a manufacturer with more than 7 decades of experience producing high-quality, reliable discrete semiconductors, Central Semiconductor is dedicated to protecting its reputation and its customers from this increasing concern.

To guarantee the authenticity of our devices, we strongly advise customers to purchase products exclusively through authorized channels: Directly from us using the contact form on our website; through a franchised or authorized distributor listed on our website; or by contacting an authorized manufacturer's representative for AEM and Central Semiconductor products. Please note that only purchases made through these authorized channels will be supported and warrantied.
