The Electronic Resellers Association International (ERAI) is responsible for maintaining an international network of companies that share data with one another to stop the rapid increase of counterfeit electronics. Component Dynamics has been a certified member of that network since 2021.
As an independent supplier of hard-to-find electronic products, this partnership is one of the most important that we maintain here at Component Dynamics. Our industry, and many others that we provide equipment for, understand the high value of an ERAI membership. Let’s explore why.
