Authorized vs Non-Authorized Distributors

Distributors marked with an asterisks: * are authorized by the manufacturer to resell their products. NEDA (National Electronic Distributors Association) defines these distributors as 'authorized'. Distributors without an asterisks source parts from various channels. These include other distributors, CEMs, OEMs as well as manufacturers. NEDA defines these distributors as 'non-authorized'.
