ICBOMS is an independent IC & semiconductor distributor and China sourcing desk, specializing in obsolete, end-of-life and allocation-constrained MCU, FPGA, memory, analog, logic, interface and RF parts from Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, Microchip and NXP — sourced through Shenzhen channels, authenticity-screened, and consolidated into one shipment.
ICBOMS is an independent IC & semiconductor distributor and China sourcing desk, established in 2016. Our 20-person team works the Shenzhen supply chain in person — the same network of authorized channels, surplus stock and specialist traders the parts actually move through. That hands-on access is why engineers come to us for the lines other distributors will not quote: obsolete and end-of-life MCUs, discontinued FPGAs, allocation-constrained memory, and long-lead analog parts. Send a BOM; we handle supplier negotiation, consolidation, photo QC, customs clearance, and worldwide delivery from there.
Independent distributor — what that means for you
We are not a franchised distributor. We hold no exclusive contracts with any semiconductor manufacturer we list — and that is precisely why we can quote the parts the authorized channel cannot. When TI end-of-lifes an MCU or NXP puts a power-management line on allocation, the franchised route stops responding. Independent distribution picks up from there: the same silicon, traced through channels that actually still have it.
Multi-channel sourcing — we pull from authorized overstock, surplus, end-of-life specialists, and allocation re-sellers across the Shenzhen supply chain. Not one supplier, not one channel — every line sourced from the network that actually has it.
Channel transparency — where the parts came from is stated on your quotation. You decide whether that channel meets your quality program. We help you make that call honestly.
Authenticity discipline — every lot is screened against the manufacturer datasheet. Date and lot codes are recorded where available. Suspect material is rejected, not shipped. See our Quality assurance page for the full process.
Who we serve
Our customers range from maintenance teams at a single factory to procurement departments managing dozens of production lines across multiple countries. Common threads:
Industrial maintenance and MRO — keeping production lines running when the OEM says 26-week lead time
System integrators — building panels and control cabinets with mixed-brand BOMs
OEM spares programs — restocking discontinued MCUs, FPGAs and memory for equipment still in the field
Export procurement desks — consolidating multi-supplier orders into one shipment from Shenzhen
Distributors and traders — supplementing their own semiconductor inventory with hard-to-find lines
What we emphasize
Hard-to-find & obsolete sourcing — when a part is discontinued, on allocation, or quoted at impossible lead times elsewhere, that is exactly what this desk is built for. We trace it through Shenzhen channels and tell you honestly what is real, what the lead time is, and what a documented alternate would be.
Authenticity discipline — we know the counterfeit patterns in this market. Lots are screened on inspection, date and lot codes recorded where available, and suspect material is rejected rather than shipped. See our Quality assurance page for the full inspection process.
One-desk simplicity — one RFQ, one quote, one shipment, one invoice. You pay and provide a delivery address; we handle purchasing, consolidation, export docs, and customs clearance.
Photo QC before dispatch — every line is photographed and checked against your BOM before the box closes. Shortages are crossed to alternatives before you commit.
Honest quoting — real lead times and ship-from per line. Lines we cannot document are declined, not guessed. NCNR lines are labeled before you confirm.
Have a BOM or a hard-to-find semiconductor?
Send your list and we come back with real lead times, ship-from per line, and a documented quote — usually within one business day. A real person handles the thread, start to finish.

Note on catalog content: product and category descriptions on this site are assembled programmatically from manufacturer datasheets and supplier feeds, then checked by our team. Specifications, lead times, and availability are best-effort — always confirm against the manufacturer datasheet and your RFQ before you design-in or order.
