Making Obsolescence Obsolete 

At Flip Electronics, we believe in "Making Obsolescence Obsolete." While technology evolves and components reach the end of their lifecycle, we have developed a twofold strategy to address this challenge. First, we ensure that remaining excess inventory is available to customers. Second, through our acquisition of Resurgent Manufacturing Services (RMS), we can license the manufacturing of mature legacy parts, allowing continued production as long as we can source critical components such as headers, substrates, and wafers.

Beyond distribution, we also have the capability to store and bank wafers and manufacturing components as needed over time. This means we don’t just offer a robust stocking solution—we provide long-term, scalable manufacturing support. Our goal is to help customers maintain their products without being forced into costly redesigns due to component obsolescence. As an authorized distributor, we ensure a secure, reliable supply chain that protects customers from the risks associated with the gray market.

A Vision for Reliable Semiconductor Distribution

Flip Electronics was founded in 2015 by Jason Murphy, a veteran in component distribution who recognized an underserved need in the market. When semiconductor parts reach the end of their lifecycle, both suppliers and customers face significant challenges. Suppliers must phase out product lines efficiently while managing excess stock, while customers often require components for years beyond their official end-of-life, leaving them in a difficult position once the authorized supply runs out.

Traditionally, customers have had limited options, often turning to the gray market, which carries risks of counterfeit products and quality issues. Jason’s vision was to establish a distribution model that would work directly with suppliers to support post-end-of-life demand in an authorized, reliable manner. Flip Electronics bridges the gap between suppliers and customers, providing a structured, secure, and long-term solution for component obsolescence.

Expanding into Global Markets

Flip Electronics has expanded into the EMEA region, where OEMs in aerospace, medical, automotive, and industrial sectors are increasingly challenged by shrinking component lifespans. Our presence in these markets will provide critical support, ensuring access to obsolete and end-of-life semiconductors and electronic components directly from manufacturers or through licensing their manufacturing flow to continue ongoing production of the components, utilizing RMS.

This reinforces our position as a global leader in semiconductor distribution and supply chain management leader. As we grow, we remain committed to exceptional service, anticipating and solving our customers' evolving challenges. With our expertise, innovative solutions, and dedication, we will continue to be the trusted partner for companies navigating obsolescence in an ever-changing technological landscape.

Why Choose Flip Electronics?

At Flip Electronics, we offer more than just components—we provide certainty in an unpredictable market. By purchasing from an authorized source, you eliminate the risks of counterfeit parts and ensure you receive only authentic, high-quality semiconductors. We've made significant investments in inventory, so if authorized stock exists, there’s a strong chance it's on our shelves, ready to support your needs.

While we don’t push customers toward next-generation components, we offer cross-referenced options with varying speed grades. If you’re searching for obsolete parts, we may have alternatives from the same era—also discontinued but still in stock—to help keep your systems running smoothly.
