Anti-Counterfeit Policy

Mini-Circuits recognizes the need to prevent counterfeit (CF) parts from being used in our products
We implemented a documented policy via our ISO 9001 / AS 9100 systems consistent with the AS5553 standard as follows:
- Maximize availability of authentic parts throughout product lifecycle (anticipate and manage obsolescence).
- Establish preference to buy from OEMs or authorized distributors
- Specify contract/PO quality requirements
- Detect CF parts through incoming inspection
- Detect, verify, control CF parts after initial inspection
- Control suspected or confirmed CF parts to prevent re-entry into supply chain
- Report CF parts to customers and other authorities
