Revive, Reclaim, Reuse – Smarter Component Solutions for Electronics Manufacturing
As supply chain challenges, rising costs, and environmental concerns continue to impact the electronics industry, manufacturers must find smarter ways to manage components. Retronix provides innovative solutions that allow businesses to revive, reclaim, and reuse electronic components, ensuring cost savings, improved reliability, and reduced waste.
Revive – Restoring Component Integrity
Many electronic components suffer from oxidation, poor solderability, or outdated alloys, making them seem unusable. Rather than discarding valuable parts, Retronix offers advanced revival techniques, including:
- Robotic Solder Dip – Removes oxidation and replaces old lead-free or tin-lead finishes, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
- Alloy Refresh & Retinning – Restores solderability of aged components, extending their lifespan and reliability.
- Reballing Services – Allows the reuse of high-value BGA components, avoiding costly replacements and reducing lead times.
These processes enhance component performance while keeping costs under control, making them a preferred choice for aerospace, defence, and high-reliability industries.
Reclaim – Maximising Value from Existing Inventory
Obsolescence and component shortages can lead to significant supply chain disruptions. Retronix helps businesses reclaim value from existing or excess stock, turning surplus components into usable, tested, and verified assets.
- Component Recovery & Reuse – Extracts functional parts from unused or legacy PCBs, reducing dependency on new production.
- IC Testing & Authentication – Ensures recovered or excess stock meets quality standards, verifying authenticity and performance.
- Tin Whisker Mitigation – Addresses a major reliability concern by treating components to prevent failures caused by tin whiskers.
By reclaiming components, manufacturers reduce waste, lower costs, and ensure continuity in production.
Reuse – Smart, Sustainable Manufacturing
Sustainability is not optional. By reusing recovered and revived components, businesses contribute to a circular economy while maintaining stringent industry standards.
- Certified Testing & Quality Assurance – Retronix ensures components meet ISO 17025, AS6171A, AS6081, AS9100D, and ESD S20.20 standards, providing reliability and compliance.
- Reduced Lead Times – Instead of waiting months for new components, reclaimed and tested parts can be reintegrated quickly.
- Cost-Effective Alternative – Reusing components can result in up to 80% savings compared to sourcing new ones.
