About Amperex

Amperex is a leading innovator in the energy solutions sector, specializing in the development and manufacturing of advanced battery technologies. Renowned for its commitment to sustainability and efficiency, the company provides cutting-edge power solutions for a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. With a focus on research and development, Amperex continues to drive progress in energy storage and management.

Amperex Electronic Corporation was a manufacturer of vacuum tubes and semiconductors. Originally located in Brooklyn, New York, Amperex was a long-established manufacturer of transmitting tubes when they were acquired by the Dutch firm, Philips in 1955. Philips used the Amperex name to distribute their new line of Dutch-made miniature tubes to feed the booming U.S. hi-fi market. Amperex also produced frame grid tubes. Amperex also made the original "Bugle Boy" series with its ability to filter out noise due to the wire-mesh grid design.

North American Philips Corporation built a 40,000 sq. ft plant ain North Smithfield, Rhode Island (Slatersville) to supply IBM with gold doped germanium logic diodes. The plant was operated by one of Philips' fully-owned subsidiaries, Amperex Electronics, to supply millions of diodes.

In 1960 Philips invented an imaging tube called the Plumbicon™ to replace the vidicon and Image Orthicon tubes used in studio television cameras. Although the original use of Plumbicon camera tubes was in broadcast television, current demand is primarily in for use in medical imaging equipment.

In 1973, several years after its acquisition by Amperex, the manufacturing operations of Advanced Micro Electronics were transferred to Slatersville. The products transferred from Advanced Micro Electronics included small signal silicon planar transistors for military and industrial applications, Leadless Inverted Devices (LIDs) and hybrid circuits using both thin and thick film technology. Manufacturing of these three products and the sales office for Philips Semiconductors were housed in Slatersville until 1992 when this business unit was sold.

4 Star Quality Assurance

Our corporate goal is to be 100% accurate on every Amperex order that we process. We achieve this goal by implementing several quality control checks throughout our distribution process.

This Amperex inspection procedure includes:

• IDEA-ICE-3000 (72-point) visual inspection by (3) different quality inspectors.
• Data sheet verification of all parts.
• Acetone swab test on sample pieces.
• Extensive views under our macro zoom (200x) microscope for quality detection.
• Digital photos of all outgoing Amperex parts.
• We maintain a strict approved vendor list (AVL).

4 Star Electronics also uses many customer satisfaction measurements to determine our performance in the marketplace with distributors, major customers and the ultimate end users of our products. Some of these measurements include customer surveys, on-time delivery and customer complaints. By doing this we have up to date information on how we are doing on multiple levels which in return equals complete customer satisfaction. Also by including customers in this process, we are able to prioritize their requirements and prevent deviations in our performance. As part of our continual commitment to quality, all Amperex parts that we receive are inspected in our state-of-the-art ANSI/ESD-S20.20 certified facility located in San Clemente, California. We want you as the customer, to have the peace of mind knowing that every part you receive from 4 Star Electronics has been thoroughly inspected and has passed our rigorous inspection procedure.
