RS Components and Allied Components its US sister company have agreed a global distribution deal with Japanese semiconductor supplier, ROHM.
Jonathan Boxall, Global Head of Semiconductors at RS Components, commented, “Consolidating relationships with suppliers such as ROHM is an increasingly important consideration in our endeavour to sustain high levels of product availability for our customers, and to anticipate their future needs. The global demand for semiconductors continues to rise, so it is important that our offer reflects this, and meets the needs of design engineers and buyers to source parts quickly and easily in this highly competitive market.”
RS and Allied’s inventory of several hundred ROHM components includes discrete semiconductors, power management ICs, LEDs, display drivers, optical switches, video and audio processor circuits, and sensor devices. The devices are used in a wide array of automotive, telecommunication, computer and consumer applications.
The authorised distribution status will see RS and Allied substantially broaden the selection of ROHM parts available.
“Sourcing and purchasing ICs for complex designs is a time-consuming task for engineers and buyers due to the vast range of devices we now take to market,” said Masaki Sakai, Director of Euro-American Sales at ROHM. “Bringing RS and Allied on board as an authorised distribution partner will ease and accelerate this process, giving customers online access to more and more of our devices, and allowing us to respond more efficiently to growing demand.”
