Electronic Parts Supplier for OEMs, CMs, and Tier 1 Manufacturers Facing Shortages
Critical Chip Solutions is an independent electronic parts supplier and electronic parts distributor focused on OEMs, contract manufacturers, and Tier 1 auto suppliers. When your BOM is hit by allocation, EOL notices, or extended lead times, we source obsolete components, hard to find components, and long lead time parts from a global network of more than 500 manufacturers so your production line keeps moving.
For more than two decades, Critical Chip Solutions has served as a dependable electronic component supplier and semiconductor distributor for OEMs, contract manufacturers, and Tier 1 auto suppliers navigating semiconductor shortages and supply chain disruption. As an independent semiconductor supplier, our team specializes in bridging franchise-channel gaps, reducing shortage risk, and helping large buyers keep production schedules on track when standard distribution runs dry.
Headquartered in Concord, North Carolina, we operate as a trusted electronic parts supplier Concord NC and electronic component distributor NC while serving procurement teams across the United States and in more than 43 countries around the world. Our electronic component sourcing network complements your existing franchise supply channels, giving you a rapid response option the moment a critical part number goes into shortage or allocation.
Whether you need a single line item to close a shortage or high volume production quantities for a Tier 1 program, our team returns fast, verified offers on your most critical RFQs — minimizing line-down risk and improving cost planning on obsolete semiconductors and legacy devices.
We have established an extensive and reliable global electronic components distribution network that complements our clients’ existing supply channels.
Our team is dedicated to providing fast and reliable offers to your most critical RFQs. This allows our customers to minimize the effects of shortages and to achieve accuracy in cost planning for critical end-of-life & obsolete electronic devices.
When lead times stretch, allocation hits, or a part goes end of life mid-program, that is exactly where Critical Chip Solutions goes to work. Buyers at OEMs, contract manufacturers, and Tier 1 auto suppliers come to us the moment they search a part number and find no stock through franchise channels.
We help procurement, sourcing, and program managers move quickly on:
• Component shortages and allocation events on active production BOMs
• Obsolete semiconductors and end of life components on long-life programs
• Long lead time parts blocking builds for automotive, industrial, and aerospace customers
• Last-time-buy planning ahead of announced EOL notices
• Cross-references and alternates for parts no longer offered by the OCM
As a full service IC distributor and MOSFET distributor, Critical Chip Solutions supplies a broad catalogue of active, passive, and electromechanical components from a network of 500+ manufacturers. Our team also operates as a dependable memory chip distributor, microcontroller distributor, and FPGA distributor, giving OEM engineers and Tier 1 buyers reliable access to processors, memory, and programmable devices when franchise inventory is gone.
For passive components, we serve as a trusted capacitor supplier, resistor supplier, diode supplier, and transistor supplier, along with a full range of connectors, terminals, and wire harness materials. Our LED distributor channels cover both standard LEDs and specialty LED lighting components used across automotive and industrial builds.
We also handle drivers and interfaces, RF and microwave components, electromechanical switches, and display components. Our electronic component sourcing capabilities span current production parts, allocated inventory, and legacy items that standard franchise supply chains no longer stock.
We regularly source a wide range of products from leading manufacturers and approved vendors around the world. In total we can secure electronic components from over 500 manufacturers.We regularly source a wide range of products from leading manufacturers and approved vendors around the world. In total, we secure electronic components from over 500 manufacturers, making us a dependable obsolete parts supplier for OEMs, contract manufacturers, and Tier 1 auto suppliers facing supply chain disruption, allocation, or extended lead times.
Quality and transparency are the cornerstone foundations of our business, because a counterfeit or mis-marked part on an OEM production line is not something any buyer can absorb. We utilize a global network of independent testing laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and AS6171 Detection of Suspect and Counterfeit Parts.
Every component we supply is verified either directly by the manufacturer or through independent testing before it reaches your line. Prior to final shipment, customers can approve all test reports, labels, and documentation. Every order is backed by our 3 year warranty.
We work primarily with OEMs, contract manufacturers, and Tier 1 auto suppliers whose production lines are exposed to component shortages, allocation, and obsolescence. Our electronic parts supplier and semiconductor distributor services are built around procurement, sourcing, and program management teams — not consumer or hobby buyers.
