About IC Source Direct
IC Source Direct is an independent electronic-components sourcing desk based in Hong Kong since 2016. Connectors and interconnect are our deepest catalog — board-to-board, wire-to-board, circular, heavy-duty, FFC/FPC, RJ/USB Type-C, RF connectors and terminal blocks from Molex, TE, Amphenol, JST, Hirose and Phoenix Contact — but we are not limited to them: send a complete or mixed BOM and we also source semiconductors and MCUs, passives, electromechanical, sensors and the rest of the line through the same Shenzhen supply chain, including the obsolete, end-of-life and allocation-constrained parts other distributors decline. We parametric-match by pitch, pin count, current rating and temperature, cross-reference datasheet-verified alternates, screen lots for authenticity, consolidate every supplier into one shipment, and settle in RMB on your behalf. You deal directly with a sourcing specialist, not an anonymous portal. Export and overseas buyer programs have been a priority since 2022.
Who we are
IC Source Direct was founded in 2016 in Hong Kong. Today we are a team of about 20 people focused on independent connector and interconnect distribution — board-to-board from 0.4 mm pitch, Micro-Fit-style wire-to-board, M8/M12/M23 circular, Han-style heavy-duty, 0.5/1.0 mm FFC/FPC, RJ/USB Type-C and SMA/U.FL RF, plus terminal blocks — from Molex, TE, Amphenol, JST, Hirose and Phoenix Contact, matched on pitch, pin count, current and mating cycles and cross-referenced against datasheets.
Connectors are where our catalog runs deepest, but we are an independent sourcing desk — not a single-category shop. Send a complete or mixed BOM and we also source semiconductors and MCUs, passives, electromechanical, sensors and the parts around your design through the same Shenzhen channels, so you consolidate the whole list with one supplier instead of chasing several.
Since 2022, we have expanded export programs and overseas buyer support alongside our Greater China operations, keeping RFQ, documentation, and shipment coordination on a single accountable thread.
What we emphasize
- Hard-to-find & obsolete connectors—discontinued, end-of-life and allocation-constrained interconnect is exactly what we trace through the Shenzhen supply chain when other distributors decline the line.
- Authenticity discipline—lots are screened on inspection, date and lot codes recorded where available, and suspect material is rejected rather than shipped. Condition is stated on the quote, never blurred.
- Supply-chain depth—multiple supplier paths, allocation awareness, and clear channel disclosure when it matters for compliance programs.
- A real specialist, one thread—BOM / RFQ, parametric and datasheet-verified crosses, and realistic lead-time communication from a person who replies, instead of over-promising engineering services we do not staff for.
Have a connector list or a hard-to-find interconnect?
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.

Buying process, RFQ behaviour, and commercial terms are summarised on our Procurement page. This About page is for company identity and compliance context only.
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.
