Three founders, one desk
RND Silicon is founder-run. The people who price a position are the people who answer the phone about it.
We started on the same desk
Daniel and Ryan first worked together at Eagle Point Funding in 2023, years after first crossing paths at Santa Monica College. One side went into sourcing and systems, the other into finance and law. RND Silicon is what those two skill sets look like when they stop being separate jobs.
Get in touchThe things buyers ask us first
Straight answers on how we buy, what we hold, and how we prove a part is what it claims to be.
Not covered here? Ask us directly and a person will answer.
Talk to usWe are an independent distributor of electronic components. Three things, mostly: we find parts that have gone constrained or obsolete, we buy excess inventory off manufacturers' books with our own capital, and we hold forward stock for customers who need supply locked in but do not want to fund it themselves.
A franchise house sells what its lines allocate to it. We take positions. We decide what to buy based on where we think the market is going, then carry the risk ourselves. That means we often have parts nobody else can offer, and it means we can quote your excess as a buyer rather than passing it along on consignment.
Every lot crosses our own inspection bench before it is offered to anyone: visual and dimensional checks, XRF and X-ray, decapsulation when a lot warrants it, and solderability testing. Full traceability documentation ships with the order. Lots that fail never reach a customer quote.
ISO 9001:2015 and AS9120B certified, GIDEP participant, ITAR registered, and an SAE International member supporting AS6081 practice. Certificates are on the Certifications page and copies are available on request.
Microcontrollers, memory, analog and power management ICs, MOSFETs and diodes, connectors, passives, and image sensors, in commercial through automotive and aerospace grade. Our live list is on the Stock page, and it is a fraction of what we can source.
Aerospace and defense, automotive, industrial automation, medical devices, telecom, and consumer electronics. Anyone running a build that a single missing line item can stop.
One headquarters, in Los Angeles, California. Keeping sourcing, quality, and logistics in the same room is deliberate. We ship worldwide through vetted, climate-controlled freight partners.
Search the live stock list and hit RFQ on any line, or send us your part numbers and target quantities through the contact form. Either way a person answers within 24 hours, including to tell you when we cannot help.
