Stable Lead Times, Good Product Flow and High-Performing Crystal Oscillators Top the List

The electronic components industry is facing its share of challenges, which – for many manufacturers – seem insurmountable at times.

However, ECS Inc. continues to provide solutions that offer a way past these obstacles, while continuing to deliver signature products that benefit the many industries seeking premier quartz crystal oscillators for their circuit boards.

Below, read about the challenges that ECS Inc. has faced most recently and how this talented team overcomes these difficulties and turns them into opportunities.

Counterfeit and Inferior Crystal Oscillators

ECS Inc. continues to discover products in the marketplace that claim to be authentic, but are not, in fact, ECS Inc. products. Engineers may discover that a product is marked with ECS Inc. branding in one way, but a recently delivered product does not seem to look the same. If you have questions, please contact the ECS Inc. team to ensure the quartz crystal oscillators for your circuit board are the high-quality products you expect from ECS Inc.

In addition to counterfeit products, engineers sometimes end up with inferior products that do not perform as expected when they shop from other frequency control suppliers. It is an understatement to say that the global market is saturated with electronic components of varying quality. They are not all created equally. Engineers who are experiencing pressure to deliver their applications on time and under budget may be tempted to work with a manufacturer that is offering an unusually low price for certain materials.

An uncharacteristically low price for these components is a potential sign that these products will not deliver the performance or quality you expect. This can lead to an unfortunate situation where an inferior product causes the engineer to lose time on a design, or worse, a contract. A similar circumstance occurs when engineers discover that the products they ordered do not possess the longevity that their applications require, as some lesser products sit on the shelf long past their lifespan. This ends up costing the engineer when their application fails to have the endurance their client expects. When buying counterfeit or subpar products from non-franchised and unknown sources, you also don’t get any engineering, sales or warranty support.

ECS Inc.’s Exceptional Lead Times and Planning for Crystal Oscillators and More

ECS Inc. is proud of the efficient lead times for most standard and customized products. For instance, ECS Inc.’s highly regarded ECX-31B tuning fork crystal and low first year aging “B series” watch crystals are fully stocked and ready for your specific frequency applications that require a pre-aged, top-of-the-line SMD crystal.

Even when supply chain challenges, unexpected events and economic hurdles affect global markets, ECS Inc. continues their tradition of excellence, as well as going above and beyond to support every customer’s design needs.

However, ECS Inc. designs new products with an understanding that engineering requirements continue to change. That is why ECS Inc. develops quartz crystal oscillators for your circuit boards, as well as other products that engineers want today and the ones required for tomorrow’s marketplace.

These future-forward frequency solutions include several low first-year aging B series and MultiVolt™ quartz oscillators that deliver exceptional performance. ECS Inc. B series crystals are pre-stressed and pre-aged, which ensures minimal frequency drift. MultiVolt™ oscillators from ECS Inc. offer a small form factor package size and low power consumption, while delivering an incomparably clean frequency signal.
