In the defense and aerospace sectors, legacy components are often the backbone of fielded systems, which cannot be easily redesigned. AMPEL addresses this challenge by maintaining active stock of military-grade parts compliant with MIL-SPEC, JAN, and aerospace standards. This includes high-temperature ICs, radiation-hardened semiconductors, hermetically sealed relays, and RF components used in radar, avionics, and satellite systems. What sets AMPEL apart is our ability to ensure authenticity and traceability. Every component in our legacy inventory is backed by full quality control processes including inspection, documentation review, and packaging checks. We work only with vetted, reliable sources, and all incoming stock is stored with clear traceability and batch tracking, in accordance with standards such as AS6081 and JEDEC.

To support sustainability and reduce electronic waste, AMPEL actively engages in excess inventory management. We partner with OEMs, CEMs, and system integrators to acquire unused or surplus components. This win-win approach helps our partners recover value from idle stock while enriching our inventory with quality components for hard-to-serve customers. Every batch of excess inventory we purchase undergoes meticulous intake procedures. Our team verifies date codes, packaging, documentation, and storage conditions. Components that pass our multi-stage authentication process are re-cataloged into our warehouse system, ready to serve both legacy and active demand worldwide.

While AMPEL excels in legacy parts, we also actively procure and stock current, in-production electronic components. We collaborate with global manufacturers and their open channels to provide a wide portfolio of active parts. Our extensive supplier network allows us to meet urgent customer needs during allocation periods or factory lead time extensions. Our hybrid sourcing model—spanning both obsolete and current parts—positions AMPEL as a comprehensive distribution partner. Whether customers need a specific batch of 1980s-era semiconductors or the latest power management ICs, we deliver with assurance, speed, and technical clarity. This unique dual capability is what keeps AMPEL relevant and indispensable.
