Perhaps because of the challenges mentioned above, and the resulting expertise that is required, some traditional electronic component distributors have not embraced effectively the needs and demands for off- board products. Additionally, off-board parts require a multi-disciplinary design resource and potentially enhanced logistical support to minimise the cost of managing the supply chain of products that can be expensive, bulky and heavy. So while distribution has consolidated around a number of major players, off- board parts have significantly remained the province of smaller, focused and often very regional players.


Smaller distributors who serve a regional or national territory undoubtedly have a role to play. However, a distributor such as Avnet Abacus can offer the design engineer and purchaser a wider opportunity:


» A breadth and depth of parts and suppliers enabling a complete and cost effective design solution.


» Extensive field application engineering teams with specific experience in power, interconnect and


switching technology to advise and assist with product selection and design.


» Competitive pricing. As a volume purchaser Avnet Abacus is able to offer the most competitive pricing to


customers.


Off-board components are essential for many systems, especially as electronics becomes even more pervasive in areas such as lighting, non-automotive transportation, medical, retail and industrial automation. Avnet Abacus has the portfolio of products and the design-in expertise to ensure that your design will not be compromised by these sometimes forgotten items, and the worldwide infrastructure to ensure that you get the best pricing, delivery and engineering support, no matter where you design and manufacture.
