Why Short-Term Guarantees Fail Customers

Some suppliers offer such short guarantees that, by the time your build is complete, the warranty has already expired. If a component fails, there is no recourse.

The Problem with Short Warranties

Many suppliers of board-level electronic components set high purchase order (PO) minimums and offer only short warranties. This can make it difficult for smaller projects or prototypes to get the parts they need.
