Complete Catalog

one can only hope the Chinese know the difference between resistance and impedance.
At least their catalog is not clear about this fairly important issue.

Perhaps someone here has experience with this manufacture, and can write it up here. I rarely enter a thread when I read about a non Standard excitation system. Its best to not open ones mouth, when one has no experience with a subject. But am willing to learn!

neither do I Guy. I have been following this development with skepticism, especially since this manufacturer sells those direct via Alibaba for $ 10 to $30 and the US resellers sell them for $ 50 to $ 300
Looking at the Chinese factory pricing and looking at the boards, I can say one thing for sure:
They contain only Chinese domestic Semiconductor and passives, many of them clones from US manufacturers
I can’t even buy the US semiconductors and passives, which are made in China by US Corporate, here in the US from an authorized distributor like mouser or digi key for what they are selling the finished products

The Chinese government is well known to subsidize their manufacturers on exported products. In my previous life, a product imported from overseas received a greater than 20% tax 'credit' once the shipment was booked out of China.

China is just as sleazy and sneaky as any predator in the wild... only in the wild its called survival.
