CUSTOM DESIGN
Force Technologies can
offer comprehensive Re-creation or Custom Semiconductor Design of an EOL (end of life) or obsolete component to aid in the continued support of your legacy application. Whether you require a form fit and function replacement to the original component specification or custom design where alternative options do not match your project requirement, we are available to help.
• Fully approved – no legal or grey market issues
• Modern assembly techniques for re-creation
• Flexible resources to accommodate changing needs
• Guaranteed up to and exceeding 20 year support
You can rely on Force Technologies to maintain complete control throughout the design and manufacture. Initial device prototypes are typically available after 9 months and after application approval production fabrication and start immediately. We offer:
• In-design enhancements
• In accordance with MIL-STD-883 support/processing
• DO254 Design standard support
• Re-creations meeting original data-sheet performance under SCD (Source Control Drawing) or customer specification.
• AS9100 Rev D Quality Control
When you need flexibility to accommodate your ever-changing requirements, or if the original manufacturers cannot deliver, Force Technologies has the re-creation resources to ensure continuity of supply that outlives original production life cycle.
Force Technologies are constantly adding to our range of re-created products, including: all types of integrated circuits manufacturing an ever-increasing range of standard “FT” products.
FAQ Section: Fit. Form. Function.
Q1: What does “Fit. Form. Function.” mean at Force Technologies?
A: It’s our core philosophy. “Fit” ensures our solutions integrate seamlessly into your environment. “Form” considers the physical and electrical design tailored to your application. “Function” guarantees performance meets or exceeds your original component.
Q2: Why is “Fit. Form. Function.” important for legacy system support?
A: Many legacy systems use components no longer in production. Our approach ensures drop-in replacements that keep your systems running without costly redesigns or disruptions.
Q3: Do your products physically fit into existing hardware without modifications?
A: Yes. We engineer every replacement to match the physical footprint and connector layout, so there’s no need to alter your chassis or board design.
Q4: Can you replicate the performance of obsolete components?
A: We don’t just replicate, we often improve. Whether it’s memory, storage, or processor modules, we test rigorously to meet or exceed the original functional specs.
Q5: How do you guarantee form and function in rugged environments?
A: All our components are designed and tested to military and industrial standards, ensuring reliability under extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration.
Q6: Is this philosophy only relevant to defence or aerospace?
A: Not at all. While we specialise in those sectors, Fit. Form. Function. applies to any industry where long-term reliability and system integrity matter, transport, energy, medical, and more.
