Obsolescence
| Obsolescence Management | An active member of COG (Components Obsolescence Group), Charcroft can recommend alternatives to passives which are already
obsolete and undertake Parts List Audits to reduce the risk of future obsolescence in new designs. |
| Sourcing Alternatives | Charcroft can source alternatives to passives from a part number, product description, NATO stock number or release specification.
Typically, most obsolete passives can be replaced by a number of direct equivalents manufactured under different part numbers or
mil-spec/BS/CECC numbers. Example |
| Parts List Audits | Regular audits of parts lists can identify obsolete and obsolescent passives, providing time to plan a mitigation strategy.
A typical audit can identify up to 5% of passives which are obsolete, or at risk of obsolescence. Contact Charcroft’s obsolescence
team on obsolescence@charcroft.com for more information on parts list auditing or for alternatives to obsolete passives. |
| Who Are They Now | Company acquisitions can also mean that apparently obsolete passives are available under a new manufacturer name.
