Online service promises faster access to
samples

Distribution's role in component sampling is expected to grow thanks to a new online sampling application, says Beganto CEO Sunil Grover.

Media serving the electronics engineering and manufacturing community tend to focus on one of two editorial directions Some concentrate on news of products and technology

Others focus on issues of the channel: the globalisation of distribution; the consolidation as the whales continue to swallow the dolphins (and the minnows try to re-invent themselves to survive in the murky pond); about the impact of 3PL (third-party logistics), RoHS and end of life issues; how distributors are working - or not working - with the CEM and EMS sector; and a recurrent theme over the past decade or more, shortened product life spans and resultant time-to-market pressures.

One aspect of time-to-market pressures that gets relatively little media attention, but is nonetheless a topic that engages most design engineers at some point or other, is timely access to design samples.

Providing someone a sample of a component, whether it's worth one dollar or fifty, would seem to be a no-brainer when you look at the potential of selling that engineer's company a gazillion of them if you get the design win.
