Active Parts Core Suppliers List (CSL)

The Active Parts Core Suppliers Listing (CSL) is a listing of manufacturers who are considered preferred suppliers of monolithic microcircuits, hybrid microcircuits, transistors or diodes by NASA. The CSL consists of two parts:

Core Suppliers List Part I

    Introduction
    Section I     - Microcircuits

    Section II    - Hybrids

    Section III   - Diodes

    Section IV  - Transistors

Core Suppliers List Part II

    Japanese Space Agency (NASDA) Listings
    European Space Agency (ESA) Listings
NOTE:  A Portable Document Format (PDF) reader will be needed to view the CSL files on this page. A PDF reader, along with installation instructions, can be obtained free from Adobe Systems Incorporated.  

Part I follows, and includes only those suppliers who satisfy the following criteria:
  • Are listed in QML-38535 (Qualified Manufacturers List of Advanced Microcircuits Qualified Under Military Specification MIL-PRF-38535”), QML-38534 (“Qualified Manufacturers List of Custom Hybrid Microcircuits Qualified under Military Specification List of Custom Hybrid Microcircuits Qualified under Military Specification MIL-H-38534”) or QPL-19500 (“Qualified Products List of Products Qualified under Military Specification MIL-S-19500)
  • Offer one or more products which are currently listed in either MIL-STD-975 or the GSFC PPL
  • Offer QML/QPL products to quality assurance levels which are considered suitable for spaceflight use
  • Have established a history of providing high reliability parts to NASA.
The CSL, Part II, includes active part suppliers, who are not necessarily QML/QPL-certified, but who satisfy the following criteria:
  • Manufacturers parts on DESC certified and qualified lines
  • Have compiled a satisfactory history of supplying high reliability parts which are currently procured through contractor (or OEM) SCDs
  • Manufacture parts to NASA specifications
  • Are certified and qualified by ESA/NASDA to provide parts to ESA/SCC or NASDA specifications)
The CSL is intended to assist NASA project management, parts/reliability engineers and designers in avoiding EEE part reliability/mission schedule problems which can result when parts are procured from unproven suppliers or suppliers who show recent trends indicative of unsatisfactory performance.

For each manufacturer listed in the CSL, Part I, herein, there is accompanying information related to the processing technologies and product lines for which the manufacturer is considered a core supplier and the name/phone number of a company representative to whom questions may be directed.

The information described in this report was obtained from NASA GSFC Preferred Parts List (PPL-21), NASA Standard Electrical, Electronic and Electromechanical parts list (MIL-STD-975), Qualified Manufacturers List for Monolithic Microcircuits (QML-38535), Qualified Manufacturers list for Custom Hybrid Microcircuits (QML-38534), and Qualified Products List for Diodes and Transistors (QPL-19500).

For convenience, the listings have been grouped by part commodity. Introductory remarks for each section provide an explanation of the information contained therein. Please note that the manufacturer's listing and the accompanying information are considered accurate at the time of issue of this document. However, the semiconductor industry is one known for rapid change of technology and development including fabrication processes and assembly locations. As a result, the listings are subject to change without notice; revisions or amendments will be issued, as necessary.
