The company’s newly updated Website, www.practicalcomponents.com, is the most comprehensive to date. Since the first Website in 1997, the resource has grown to be one of the most indispensable tools in electronics design and production.
Practical Components features technology that cannot be found elsewhere: dummy components that have the same exact materials but also are made on the same production lines as the live components. The company is unique in its ability to supply manufacturer engineering support to the exclusive products it supplies.
Practical Components specializes in in-stock availability, manufacturer support and traceability. Our customer support representatives are knowledgeable and have access to engineering data that others do not.
Practical sells components from leading companies, such as Amkor and WALTS. The same type manufacturers use for production or research so customers are always ensured of getting the same factory quality with the same thermal and mechanical specifications as the live components in their final assemblies.
Practical supplies all the “standard essentials” as well as the future technology that is needed for companies to advance their evolution.
