Purchasing

At Define Instruments, we take the headache out of sourcing components, delivering you on-time products at a competitive rate. Take advantage of our experience and contacts, and enjoy shorter lead times, volume purchasing discounts and streamlined inventory systems.

We can source everything from PCBs and stencils to TH & SMT components, lead free components, and enclosures. And you can be confident that we’ve struck the perfect balance of high quality and great value, because we use these same suppliers to source components for our own products.

  • Full Turnkey
    We will handle the entire process, including ordering PCB boards and components, and deliver the completed product(s).
  • Partial Turnkey
    You can ship us the PCB boards and/or components. We’ll order the remaining parts and deliver the completed product(s).
  • FAQ
What is the normal lead time for components?
We pre-order many commonly used components and store them at our manufacturing facility. For components that need to be sourced overseas, we reduce lead times by dealing directly with a number of sourcing houses. Lead times on these components are subject to global demand and availability, and can range from 1-12 weeks.
Can you source lead free components?
Yes. In fact, 99% of our components are already lead free. Click here for more information on our lead free services.
Aren’t lead free components more expensive?
No, they are not.
Can you source enclosures and casing?
Yes we can.
If I supply the PCB boards and/or some of the components, can you source the rest for me?
Absolutely! We frequently do partial turnkey for customers who already have some of their own materials.
