// What We Do

Services we provide

Distribution flows both directions — we move parts to you, and we move excess off your shelves.

01

Component Distribution

Active, passive, interconnect, and electromechanical parts — plus the obsolete and hard-to-find components the franchise channel can no longer supply.

02

Excess Inventory Solutions

Outright purchase, consignment marketing, or full warehouse-and-market — three options to recover value from surplus.

03

Warehousing

Short, medium, and long-term storage with card-access security and full lot traceability of every stock movement.

04

Value-Added Services

Tape & reel, kitting, programming, lead forming, dry-pack, and RoHS / ITAR / REACH conversions.

// Quality & Authentication

Every component, inspected and verified

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.

// Counterfeit Intelligence

An ERAI member since 1998.

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.

// Why Independent

Franchise has limits. We don't.

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.

  • 01

    Any Manufacturer

    No authorized-brand list to box you in — we source across the entire market, not just the lines a franchise agreement permits.

  • 02

    Obsolete & Discontinued

    We actively support end-of-life, hard-to-find, and last-time-buy parts that franchise distribution can no longer touch.

  • 03

    Inventory Others Can't See

    We reach stock outside the franchise channel — including worldwide overstock — opening sources that aren't on the authorized map.

  • 04

    No Quantity Ceiling

    A single piece or a hundred thousand — we sell what you need, without an allocation gate.

  • 05

    No Regional Lines

    Purchasing offices in eight countries — U.S., Germany, Malaysia, Taiwan, Israel, Dubai, India, and the Philippines — support you across borders and time zones.

  • 06

    Lead Times, Crushed

    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.

// Common Questions

Frequently asked

Can you source obsolete or end-of-life parts?

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.

Is there a minimum order?

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.

How do you protect against counterfeit parts?

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.

How fast will I get a quote?

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.

Do you buy excess inventory?

Yes — outright purchase, consignment marketing, or full warehouse-and-market programs, depending on how you want to recover value from surplus stock.

Do you support international customers?

For more than 30 years we've supported OEMs around the world, backed by purchasing offices in eight countries. We ship DHL, UPS, and FedEx, accommodate custom shipping instructions and carriers, and are approved for same-day shipments and deliveries out of Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, with ITAR-aware handling on sensitive requirements.
