How does TTI support new product introductions (NPI) and early adopters?

There is a need for quick turn samples and pre- production support, often very early on in the life cycle of a specific component or product family. TTImeets this challenge by ensuring it is aligned closely with suppliers’ product management teams. This provides visibility of their active product roadmap, new product pipeline and longer termdevelopment plans.We agree jointly on the best way of supporting early adopter customers, which typically translates into a broad NPI package stocked as early as possible, often in conjunction with TTI subsidiary, Mouser Electronics.
