Vicor Corporation has announced a distribution agreement with Avnet, a global distributor of electronic components and services. The agreement expands access to Vicor's power modules through Avnet's world-class design and supply chain.
"This is a great opportunity for Vicor to partner with a global leader aligned with our target markets," said David Krakauer, VP Industrial Business Unit and Corporate Marketing. "Working with Avnet will better position Vicor to bring our highly differentiated modular power solutions to customers who want to unleash the power of their innovations."
Peggy Carrieres, Global Vice President Supplier Development for Avnet, added:
"In today's markets, companies must innovate to keep up with the competition. This agreement comes at a time when many of our customers are looking for opportunities to separate themselves from the pack. They are struggling to fit more power into smaller and smaller spaces and are looking for high power density and highly efficient solutions. Vicor power modules will provide a quality solution for our customers."
The global franchise agreement, announced Feb. 22, is effective immediately. Customers in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region will have access to Vicor's product portfolio through Avnet's European business unit, Avnet Abacus, a leading interconnect, passive, electromechanical and power distributor.
Since 1984, with the VI100 series of components, then the VI-200 and the Maxi/Mini/ Micro family, Vicor has been integrating more and more silicon into converters to provide more power in the same form factor and, with value-added resellers selected to implement customized and complete solutions, covers the entire spectrum of power solutions.
