Our aim is to offer guidance on the ever-changing decision-making processes in the electronics sector and become the "go-to" guide for industry professionals looking to source top components.
Flip Electronics was founded in 2015 by Jason Murphy. With a career largely spent in component distribution, Murphy saw an underserved need in the market, specifically in dealing with obsolete semiconductor devices. When semiconductor parts reach the end of their lifecycle, it creates challenges for both suppliers and customers. Suppliers face difficulties in phasing out
RS Components started in a London garage in 1937, where visionaries J.H. Waring and P.M. Sebestyen founded Radiospares Limited. They dreamed of supplying radio repair shops with essential spare parts. By 1954, it had expanded into selling electronic components, and in 1971, it evolved into RS Components, marking a new era of innovation. Since then,
“I’m dangerous,” smiles Geoff Hill, sitting back in his chair, looking anything but. The founder and CEO of Astute Group is describing his aggressive approach to pursuing any new business opportunity in the supply of components to the market. Decisions are made fast, and progress relentlessly pursued. No to-ing and fro-ing on countless meetings, no

By Adrian Wood, Director of Strategic Business Development at DELMIA Many of the changes that will impact supply chains in 2025 are not new, but the frequency and intensity has the potential to bring new levels of strain to already stretched supply chains. So, what can companies do to prepare for 2025 and beyond? What
Semiconductors are at the heart of modern electronics, powering everything from smartphones and computers to electric vehicles and industrial machinery. Their production involves a highly sophisticated process that combines chemistry, physics, and engineering to create intricate devices capable of controlling electrical signals. Understanding how semiconductors are made provides insight into one of the most critical
