24 SMT007 MAGAZINE I AUGUST 2022 on the website. We're getting those parts, you just don't see them. at's where placing a back order with us is a good way to increase the like- lihood that you get those parts. Barry Matties: Are you looking for new sources as well? Are additional sources making them- selves known to you? Olson: It's within our counterfeit policy to only purchase from our contracted suppliers. We would never buy microchip parts from non- microchip sources. ey would have to be at least to the level of counterfeit standard that we have for us to purchase from them. We get solicitations from new sources all the time and, because of our counterfeit policy, we turn them down. at said, this year is probably one of the largest years for supplier additions that we've ever had, with 250 suppliers already added. Matties: Is this new market capacity or is this just shiing capacity to distribute to Digi-Key? Olson: e vast majority will be new markets— lines from suppliers and products that we haven't offered or haven't offered in the past. Johnson: is has been really helpful. ank you, Kelsey and Levy. Lawrence: Awesome. ank you, guys. Olson: ank you. SMT007
