4 Star Electronics has been an industry leader in supplying obsolete, hard to find, long lead-time and end-of-life (EOL) electronic components since our inception in 2001. We offer one of the broadest line cards in the industry, which consists of over $50 million dollars of ready-to-ship, in-stock inventory from over 2800 different manufacturers. If the parts you require are not in our ready-to-ship inventory, we have access to over 65 million line items from our vendor network that is comprised of inventory from Manufacturers, Authorized Distributors, OEM/CM Excess Inventory, Independent Distributors, and other approved sources throughout the world. As an independent distributor, 4 Star is not affiliated with the manufacturers of the products it sells, and can support a much wider variety of components than the typical franchised distributor.
4 Star is a trusted supplier to government agencies, prime contractors, and numerous commercial, industrial, and medical OEMs and Contract Manufacturers. Many of these customers utilize 4 Star as their primary supplier of fully validated and tested non-traceable material - an important part of the supply chain since required Electrical, Electronic and Electromechanical (EEE) components are often obsolete with no traceable inventory available. As part of various customer certifications, our systems and processes have been audited to meet or exceed the requirements of JESD31, JESD625, and AS6081.
