How to buy
RFQ
Submit via the form or email; one thread per inquiry in the portal.
Quote
Price, lead, condition, MOQ. Crosses tied to your line.
Confirm
You confirm freight mode, payment terms and required docs. We lock scope and fees before spending a cent.
Ship
Consolidate every supplier into one box → QC each line vs your list → ship. Tracking + docs as quoted.
After
Same thread for issues. Returns process = quote.
RFQ & account
Guest RFQ is fine. Use the same email when you register so inquiries connect to your account. Signed-in buyers use the portal for quotes, status, and payment when offered. First response typically within one business day; complex BOMs may take longer.
Account & RFQ
Do I need an account to submit an RFQ?
No—submit from the BOM / RFQ page with your work email (no login required). To track status, request payment when enabled, and reach our team in one place, sign in with that same email—register once or use magic-link sign-in when offered. Registering keeps RFQ discussion, order progress, and payment steps together in your portal so the workflow stays digitized end to end, not only as loose email threads.How quickly will you reply?
We aim to send a first response within one business day (local business hours). Large BOMs or allocation checks may need more time — we will say so in email.Is there a minimum order, or a charge for small quantities?
No minimum — sample and single-piece orders are welcome. Small quantities are quoted per order: below MOQ the quote may carry a small handling charge, because a one-piece pick is processed the same way as a full carton. Any such charge is on the quote before you commit, never added afterwards.When and how can I pay?
After we review the RFQ. Payment options (e.g. PayPal where enabled) appear on the quote / portal when ready.Why is my RFQ not showing under My inquiries?
Same email as the form + portal sign-in. New rows can lag briefly; email us the reference if still missing.I submitted but got no email.
Check spam/promotions; safelist our domain if IT allows. No mail in ~1 business day? Email with company + RFQ ref.How do I flag an urgent or production-down request?
Note timeline/impact on the RFQ. After submit: reply to our thread or email—always include the RFQ reference.

Terms of sale (summary)
Non-binding overview. Your quote, order confirmation, and signed agreements control.
Last updated: April 12, 2026
Important
Binding terms are the written quotation, confirmation, invoice, and any master agreement—not this summary. If in doubt, ask counsel before you commit.
Products & scope of supply
IC Source Direct supplies connectors and interconnect — board-to-board, wire-to-board, circular and heavy-duty connectors, terminal blocks, RF and coaxial, and data / I/O — sourced across the Shenzhen supply chain and line-matched against your BOM. Every line is cross-checked against its manufacturer datasheet before it is quoted, and the revision we matched against is available on request. Where a line cannot be matched to the specified part, we say so on the quote rather than substituting silently.
IC Source Direct is an independent distributor and procurement agent. We are not an authorized distributor of any manufacturer named on this site, and manufacturer names are used to describe the parts themselves.
Quotes & formation of orders
Catalog listings and website content are invitations to treat. A firm order exists when we accept your purchase order or issue an order confirmation in writing (including email), consistent with the agreed quote. We may decline orders that fail compliance, credit, or supplier-imposed restrictions.
NCNR / allocation lines — when a supplier imposes non-cancellable, non-returnable terms, we pass that through and label it on the quote before you commit.
Price, currency & taxes
Prices are as quoted in the currency stated. Unless the quote explicitly includes them, VAT, sales tax, withholding, customs duties, and brokerage are typically the buyer’s responsibility at destination. Anti-dumping or trade measures that arise after quote acceptance may require re-pricing or cancellation of affected lines—we notify you promptly when we become aware.
Payment
Payment method, milestones, and credit limits are agreed per customer and stated on the quote or account terms. We may suspend shipment or decline new orders when invoices are overdue. Online payment options (for example PayPal) appear only when enabled for your quote and region.
Delivery, title & risk
Incoterms on the quote define transfer of risk, freight booking, and export/import filing responsibilities. Delivery dates are estimates unless we expressly commit to a fixed date in writing. Events outside our reasonable control (supplier delays, allocation, customs holds, carrier failures) may shift timelines; we communicate slippage when we know it.
Inspection & acceptance
You should inspect quantity, identity, and external condition on receipt. If you require electrical test or decapsulation, agree the scope, cost, and acceptance criteria before purchase—standard commercial sales may not include AQL sampling unless quoted.
Returns, cancellations & warranty
Return eligibility depends on what was quoted: standard catalog lines may allow return in original factory condition within a stated window; programmed, cut tape, NCNR, or custom orders are often final. Manufacturer warranties pass through where applicable; independent channel lines follow the warranty stated on your quote. Do not return goods without a return merchandise authorization (RMA) reference—we will not accept liability for unauthorized returns.
Traceability, authenticity & country of origin
We describe channel type and available traceability (lot codes, COO, test reports) on the quote when known. You are responsible for telling us your counterfeit-avoidance and compliance standards before we buy. If we cannot meet those standards on a line, we decline rather than ship undocumented material.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability arising from a given order is typically limited to the amount you paid us for that order, excluding indirect or consequential damages (including lost production, lost profits, or recall costs) unless mandatory law says otherwise. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the fullest extent still lawful. Your sole remedy for non-conforming goods is generally repair, replacement, or credit as stated on the quote or RMA decision.
Force majeure, disputes & governing terms
Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control (including acts of government, war, pandemic, fire, flood, or critical supplier failure), provided the affected party notifies the other without undue delay.
Governing law, venue, and arbitration — if you have a master agreement with us, it controls. Otherwise, the jurisdiction, dispute resolution, and governing law for your purchase are stated on your quote or order confirmation. If they are silent, ask us for the standard terms that apply to your entity and ship-to location before placing the order.

Buying FAQ
Common questions regarding connector RFQs, line-matching, lead times, condition ratings, and worldwide delivery.
I have a mixed connector BOM (TE, Molex, JST, Amphenol, wire harnesses…) — can you source every line and ship it as one order?
Yes — completing a full connector BOM is exactly what we do. Send your list via the RFQ form or email: we line-match every MPN across the Shenzhen supply chain — electronic, automotive and power connectors, terminal blocks, pin headers, M12 waterproof connectors and custom wire harnesses. We quote each line with MOQ, lead time and firm price, then consolidate all suppliers into one shipment with a single freight bill.How do I know the connectors are original, not counterfeit?
Every lot is authenticity-screened: marking and packaging are checked against the manufacturer datasheet, housings and contacts are inspected, and each line is cross-checked before dispatch. If we cannot document a line’s channel to our satisfaction, we decline it rather than guess. See our quality process. Quality process.Do you take small orders? What is the minimum?
Yes — low-MOQ orders are our day job. A few-thousand-dollar connector order is typical: we consolidate every supplier into one box, so you never pay full-container or full-reel minimums. Larger OEM and corporate programs are quoted by the same desk.Do you deliver DDP to Russia and the CIS?
Yes — we deliver DDP door-to-door worldwide, and Russia and the CIS are served by a dedicated weekly consolidated air lane to Moscow and regional hubs, customs included (DDP); transit is quoted per shipment. One consolidated shipment regardless of destination.Do you only serve Russia? I am outside the CIS.
No — we serve buyers worldwide from the same desk: the same line-matching, the same consolidation, DDP door-to-door to your country. Russia and the CIS are covered by a dedicated weekly lane; every other destination ships on the same terms. Send your BOM and we will quote regardless of destination.Which connectors and brands do you cover?
Board-to-board, wire-to-board, circular M12, automotive connectors, heavy-duty, FFC/FPC, RJ45, USB Type-C, RF coaxial, terminal blocks, pin headers, relay sockets and custom wire harnesses — from TE Connectivity, Molex, Amphenol, Phoenix Contact, Weidmüller, WAGO, JST, Hirose and more. Search by MPN for datasheets and full specs.How fast do you reply, and how fast is shipping?
We aim to send a first response within one business day (local business hours); large BOMs or allocation checks may need more time, and we say so in email. From Shenzhen, express transit is quoted per shipment; the weekly Russia/CIS lane likewise.How do I pay you from abroad?
Proforma invoice → payment → we procure, QC and ship. We accept bank transfer (USD/EUR/CNY) and Payoneer. You never need an Alipay or 1688 account — we buy on your behalf across Shenzhen.Can you act as our buying office in China?
Yes — that is the core service. We source, buy and consolidate in Shenzhen on your behalf, fix scope and fees before spending anything, and report every line back against your list. No China entity or local payment method is needed on your side.Can I get samples before a production order?
Yes. MOQ and price tiers depend on the part and channel; where useful we split sample and ramp quantities on the same quote.What export documents do I get for customs?
Every shipment includes a commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin. With DDP we handle customs clearance and duty on your side. If your compliance program needs certificates of conformance or test reports, tell us before we source — we state honestly what each line can carry.Are you an authorized distributor?
No — we are an independent distributor and procurement agent, which is exactly why we can source across the whole channel: current-production, allocation-constrained, discontinued and hard-to-find lines from many manufacturers in one order. Brand names are the property of their owners; our own warranty is stated on the quotation.What are NCNR lines?
NCNR (non-cancellable, non-returnable) lines follow upstream rules; they are labelled on the quotation before you commit. Nothing is procured until you approve the quote.
