Obsolete, EOL, allocated, long-lead-time electronic components — sourced through a vetted global network. Quote back within 24 hours.
Submit an RFQ → How it worksWhen DigiKey says "out of stock" and Mouser says "26 weeks," you need someone who picks up the phone.
Obsolete semiconductors, discontinued parts, allocated inventory — hunted down through authorized distributors, OEM excess, and vetted independent sources worldwide.
Vetted suppliers only. Visual, documentation, and date-code checks before anything ships. For regulated applications we route to AS6081-certified test labs.

Procurement isn't a side-hustle for us. It's the day job.
ChipShark is run by Aditya Pareek, former Head of Procurement and Program Manager at Therm-X of California — a precision thermal manufacturer serving semiconductor, aerospace, and medical OEMs.
Years of placing POs across DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow, Avnet, Rochester, Smith, and dozens of independent brokers taught one thing: when the authorized channel is dry, who you know matters more than what the website says. The relationships, the vetting playbooks, and the counterfeit red flags — that's what we bring to your bench.
We're small by design. Every RFQ gets a human read, not a scraper hit. If a part can be sourced ethically and verifiably, you'll know by tomorrow morning.
The counterfeit-risk read isn't a buzzword. Here's the actual checklist.
Franchise, authorized, OEM-direct excess, or independent — tier is disclosed on every quote.
Confirmed from source, matched to your date-code requirements where applicable.
Photos, markings, and packaging reviewed against the manufacturer datasheet before you commit.
For regulated or safety-critical builds we route to AS6081-certified labs. Cost quoted up front.
RoHS, REACH, CoC, and manufacturer traceability provided whenever the source supports it.
Any part that fails incoming inspection is returned for full refund within 30 days of receipt.
