While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

What a find! Great service.

Needed an obsolete niche component to repair equipment returned from a customer. Googled it more out of hope than expectation. Drew a blank at the usual places like mouser, then up popped Silicon-Ark with one in stock at a fair price. Was delivered next day and carefully packed with all ESD requirements. Popped it in and all was good. Would highly recommend based on my experience.

First class supplier of NOS semiconductors

Great quality components, absolutely first class service. Ordered some hard-to-find obsolete semiconductors, turned up very promptly in original packaging, clearly genuine new old stock (NOS). Very competitive prices too. Highly recommended.
