Anti-counterfeit testing to AS6081 and AS6171

Aerospace Standard AS6081A standardises the practices for the identification of reliable sources to procure electrical, electronic, and electromechanical (EEE) parts, to mitigate the risk of distributing suspect counterfeit or counterfeit EEE parts. Revision A of AS6081 now references AS6171 for the test and inspection methods - the gold standard in testing and authenticating electronic components, to ensure parts are genuine and conform to the original part numbers as specified by the original component manufacturer (OCM).

Electrical testing to MIL-STD-750 and MIL-STD-883

Working closely with SMT Corp, we can offer electrical testing services to MIL-STD-750 and MIL-STD-883, enabling component characterisation and up-screening in accordance with MIL-PRF-19500, MIL-PRF-38534, and MIL-PRF-38535.

Retesting and requalification of electronic components

APC's component sourcing team of experts offer comprehensive solutions for electrical load testing to OEM/CEM customers.

Component repackaging

We can tape and reel your components to protect them from the effects of ESD and atmospheric damage during transportation and ongoing storage.
