from the infineon.com post - "Pre-sale Counterfeit Verification"

"Additionally, we do not support the sale of Infineon products via eBay
or similar auction houses or any other below market source."


"Infineon products purchased outside of Infineon’s authorized sources– including
through open-market brokers, independent distributors, or online marketplaces
(“gray market”) – may be counterfeit or unreliable."

I have some IRF510 IRF520 2SC1969 MRF455 that were sent to me for repairs
since I was told: "I got a good deal on eBay (or Amazon) and will send you some"

all fake / counterfeit!!!

just think about! why would some guy living in an apartment, in Hong Kong,
or Houston TX, have a big stash of transistors that are not made anymore,
especially them expensive Motorola MRF transistors.

or people selling Vishay IRF520's for less than authorized distributors such as
Mouser and Digi Key.
