Franchise distribution runs into walls — a brand they don't carry, a part that's gone obsolete, a quantity they can't allocate, a region they don't serve. That's exactly where we begin. If the part exists, we can find it: any manufacturer, any quantity, anywhere in the world.

Distribution flows both directions — we move parts to you, and we move excess off your shelves.
Active, passive, interconnect, and electromechanical parts — plus the obsolete and hard-to-find components the franchise channel can no longer supply.
Outright purchase, consignment marketing, or full warehouse-and-market — three options to recover value from surplus.
Short, medium, and long-term storage with card-access security and full lot traceability of every stock movement.
Tape & reel, kitting, programming, lead forming, dry-pack, and RoHS / ITAR / REACH conversions.
Counterfeit mitigation isn't a checkbox — it's a lab. Our inspection and authentication capabilities let us confirm what we ship — checking markings, materials, and internal construction against known-good references before a part ever leaves the building.
RH Electronics has been an ERAI member since 1998 — among the earliest in the industry. ERAI is the global information-services organization that monitors, investigates, and reports the risks moving through the electronics supply chain, and it operates the world's largest database of suspect-counterfeit and nonconforming parts.
That membership puts live intelligence in front of our buyers and quality team — flagging problematic parts, suppliers, and customers before risk ever reaches your order. It matters most exactly where we work hardest: the obsolete, end-of-life, and hard-to-find parts where counterfeits concentrate.
A specialist distributor of interconnect & passive components, discrete semiconductors, and electro-mechanical devices — and much more.
Founded in 1982, RH Electronics is an independent, woman-owned small business — the link between manufacturers, distributors, and the businesses that build the world's hardware. Independence isn't a limitation; it's what sets us free. We aren't bound to a fixed roster of brands, a fixed allocation, or a fixed map.
No authorized-brand list to box you in — we source across the entire market, not just the lines a franchise agreement permits.
We actively support end-of-life, hard-to-find, and last-time-buy parts that franchise distribution can no longer touch.
We reach stock outside the franchise channel — including worldwide overstock — opening sources that aren't on the authorized map.
A single piece or a hundred thousand — we sell what you need, without an allocation gate.
Purchasing offices in eight countries — U.S., Germany, Malaysia, Taiwan, Israel, Dubai, India, and the Philippines — support you across borders and time zones.
That global reach lets us shorten — or eliminate — the long lead times that stall production lines.
Independent enough to find anything.
Disciplined enough to trust.

Yes — it's a specialty. As an independent stocking distributor we actively support obsolete, end-of-life, and last-time-buy components that franchise distribution can no longer supply, drawing on stock and sources outside the authorized channel worldwide.
Our minimum order is $100 — waived when you're buying the last remaining inventory of an item. Minimum quantities can vary by device depending on factory packaging (trays, reels, tubes); we'll advise the best quantity breaks when we quote. Beyond that there's no ceiling — a single piece or a hundred thousand.
Every component is inspected on receipt under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system. Our counterfeit-mitigation lab checks markings, materials, and internal construction against known-good references, and we've been an ERAI member since 1998 and a GIDEP participant — live intelligence on suspect parts and suppliers.
We understand that when you call on us, you need a quote — or a fast yes/no on whether we can support you. Submit a requirement through the form (you can attach a BOM) or call 760.724.2800, and expect to hear from us within a couple of hours; our goal is much sooner.
Yes — outright purchase, consignment marketing, or full warehouse-and-market programs, depending on how you want to recover value from surplus stock.

Send a single part number or a full BOM. We'll source it, verify it, and respond within 48 hours.
