SAE’s AS6496, developed by the Society
of Aerospace Engineers, is a robust anti- counterfeiting measure that sets guidelines to combat counterfeit products within the authorised distribution supply chain. Authorised after-market suppliers and manufacturers (as called out in the US-DoD DFARS), such as Rochester Electronics, comply with AS6496. The OCM authorizes them to provide traceable and guaranteed products, and no quality or reliability testing is required because the parts are only sourced from the OCM. Providers who are not fully authorised may market themselves as AS6171/4-compliant. This indicates they follow standardized inspections and test procedures but may have minimum training and certification requirements to detect suspicious or counterfeit components. If AS6171 testing is being done, the product is not being tested to the original OCM test program. OCM test programs test significantly beyond datasheet parameters and are meant to filter products for no failures even when millions of units are sold. AS6171 testing is not equivalent to OCM testing.
The risk-free option of an AS6496 authorised after-market supplier should always be the first choice. Rochester Electronics offers an authorised continuous source of supply with over 15 billion devices in stock encompassing 200,000- part numbers, providing the world’s most extensive range of EOL and the broadest range of active semiconductors. Over 10 billion of Rochester’s in-stock devices are classed as EOL by the original manufacturer, from which the product is directly supplied. Rochester is well-positioned to offer a continuous source of supply for applications where the product lifecycle extends the active availability of a device. Rochester’s factory-direct offerings negate the need for expensive redesign, requalification, and recertification and avoid the risk of sourcing hard-to-find products on the open market. Components are 100% authorised, traceable, and guaranteed direct from the OCMs. As a result, Rochester can offer the original component warranties and guarantees. As a licensed semiconductor manufacturer, Rochester offers ongoing solutions using information and technology transferred directly to Rochester from the OCM. Rochester utilizes the original manufacturer’s die and fab processes, matching the original designs, assembly solutions, and test protocols. The resulting product is 100% certified, licensed, guaranteed, and sold with full approval under the original manufacturer’s part number. Rochester’s licensed manufacturing solutions
are current date code and guaranteed to perform according to the original datasheet. Our team is ready to assist customers in navigating strict regulatory requirements. Rochester has manufactured over 20,000 device types, and with over 12 billion die in stock, it has the capability to manufacture over 70,000 device types.
