In addition to designing and distributing components under the B&C brand name, they also supply OEM components . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with Chinese factories for 20 plus years, not all of them are unscrupulous. A lot of times, they will buy a real component and try to reverse engineer it. Most times, if the factory is not familiar with the technology of the component it will look the same, but rarely perform they way it was intended. Reminds me of Trelane from Star Trek who’s food had no taste and his wine, no flavor although it looked perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
