Arrow Announces Power Supply Deal and Exclusive Connector Promotion

Support for Recom and FCI in Europe

FCI’s Basics+ programme is designed to offer outstanding service on industry standard connectors and has long been popular with customers looking for convenient solutions when designing interconnects.

The programme expanded worldwide in November 2006. Now FCI and Arrow have announced the next step in the programme; the pan-European initiative will be exclusively promoted with Arrow and subsidiaries in various European countries. In Northern Europe, the programme will be offered by Arrow UK and Arrow Nordic.

The campaign will include a new catalogue and website featuring a variety of new products, including a selection of fully customisable pin header parts, an expanded 2mm modular system and specially designed products for pin-in-paste processes.

To ensure short lead times, Arrow will stock the core range of FCI products while the Basics+ programme will also see most catalogue parts ready to ship from the factory in three days. A design service for specials and custom lines will also be offered.

“We chose Arrow as our promotion partner for this campaign because Arrow fully understands the meaning of giving good service,” said Paul Isaac, FCI’s global product marketing manager for the Basics+ programme. “The strength of Arrow’s logistics system and customer relationships fully complement what we are trying to do with Basics+.”

Arrow Electronics’ power technology portfolio has expanded with the signing of a distribution agreement with Recom, a leading global supplier of DC/DC and AC/DC converters.

Under the terms of the agreement, Arrow will sell and support Recom’s complete power converter product range throughout Europe. The agreement supports Arrow’s strategy to provide the widest possible range of power supply and converter technologies to designers across Europe.

For Recom, the agreement will expand the penetration of its product ranges into European markets and ensure that customers have access to products and support at a local level.

Available in single, dual and triple rail outputs and a wide variety of input and output voltage configurations, power ratings and isolation voltages, Recom converters are used in most industries requiring low- to medium-power voltage conversion in the 0.25W to 60W range. The company also offers the largest range of safety- agency approved converters from any manufacturer.

“Recom is aligning itself with one of the top electronic components distributors in the world; its large base of customers will drive our expansion into the European market,” comments Paul Cheesman, business development manager at Recom.

“The agreement with Recom adds innovative products and technology to our product range and demonstrates our commitment to meeting the power requirements of customers throughout Europe,” said Steve Sessions, power supplies marketing manager at Arrow UK.
