This batch of Xilinx counterfeit parts XQV100-PQ240 had every counterfiet clue you could imagine. Spelling errrors on the packaging, re-tinned leads, blacktopping, chipped packaging from the removal process, you name it. I still don’t get how even a poorly trained QC tech can’t catch simple stuff like this. You can guess the vendors status in our system now. AERI has a great colaborative team of counterfeit detection experts making this impossible to ship from our warehouse.
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.
