AERI recently received this lot of MC12015P’s which were obvious counterfeits. There were parts from the same lot code with completely different fonts and textures of plastic. After an acetone wipe some of the parts revealed an earlier “ghost” marking.
Robb Hammond is the President of AERI and the chair of the Aerospace Industry’s Counterfeit Electronic Components Mitigation Standard for independent distributors, AS6081, which has become one of the industry’s most respected documents, as well as being adopted by the Department of Defense. Robb is one of the foremost thought leaders in the industry on counterfeit detection and speaks regularly at conferences around the globe.
