From September 3 to 5, 2025, the KPCA Show will gather professionals in PCB and semiconductor packaging at Songdo Convensia, Incheon, under the theme “Beyond AI & Angstrom.” As Korea’s premier platform for advanced substrates and interconnect technologies, the event reflects the growing pressure on electronics teams to manage increasing complexity, miniaturization, and material availability challenges.

WIN SOURCE, a global electronic component distributor, will present a design-aligned sourcing approach that helps engineering teams select, source, and sustain critical parts across development cycles. With case-driven insights and real-world frameworks, our showcase at Booth C210 will focus on supporting AI-scale density, form-factor constraints, and fragmented supply ecosystems.

Component Supply Challenges in a Compressed Design Landscape

With the rise of AI workloads and angstrom-scale geometries, sourcing electronics components has become increasingly constrained. Engineers and sourcing teams now face four common pain points:

1. Layout Compatibility Gaps

Fine-pitch stack-ups and dense routing often exceed what standard components can accommodate—resulting in last-minute footprint or clearance mismatches.

2. Unclear Lifecycle and EOL Risks

Manufacturers are retiring parts with shorter notice, making it difficult to plan requalifications or ensure long-term supply continuity.

3. Limited Access to Critical, Non-Mainstream Parts

Low-volume, mature, or region-specific components are often not available through traditional channels—delaying prototyping and testing.

4. Mismatch Between Build Phases and Supply Strategy

Material needs differ across EVB, DVT, and PVT builds, but many sourcing models remain monolithic, lacking stage-aware responsiveness.

These challenges reflect the growing disconnect between the pace of design and the rigidity of global supply chains.

WIN SOURCE’s Lifecycle-Oriented Support Framework

To address these mismatches, WIN SOURCE delivers a service architecture tailored to high-density board design and phase-based development workflows:

1. Layout-Conscious Part Matching

We assist in identifying pin-to-pin or footprint-compatible alternatives considering signal integrity and stack-up limits—minimizing sourcing-induced layout delays.

2. Predictive Lifecycle Intelligence

Through proprietary data modeling, vendor roadmap tracking, and real-time market monitoring, we help customers preempt obsolescence and secure functionally equivalent substitutes ahead of EOL exposure.

3. Sourcing Support for Special Configurations

Leveraging global buffers and specialized sourcing channels, we ensure continuity for custom, low-volume, or region-dependent parts—particularly during validation and test cycles.

4. Stage-Separated Fulfillment Models

Our logistics workflows are aligned with EVT/DVT/PVT stage separation, enabling asynchronous yet consistent sourcing across prototyping and scale-up cycles.

These services are integrated through NEXUS™, our modular infrastructure for sourcing automation, lifecycle control, and compliance assurance—purpose-built to support evolving board-level demands.

From BOM Risk to Sourcing Readiness

At WIN SOURCE, sourcing is treated as a strategic design input—not a downstream bottleneck. By offering early insights into component availability, lifecycle status, and fulfillment feasibility, we help engineering teams reduce last-minute changes and ensure smoother transitions from design to production.
