If you stuff a 2200mF part inside a 6800mF case, it doesn’t take much incoming inspection to find the error.

I’m surprised someone had the b**ls to pull this one off...:^)

The trouble started when the Military began allowing essenitally commercial parts instead of parts meeting specific military specifications. Cut costs but also quality.

During My Air Force Career I was an Intelligence analyst, before that I was an Electronics Tech. It would be easy to discover that but the folks in the Logistics field don't really know the difference, all they have to go by is the word of the distributors they purchase it from. I can't fault them because they don't know. Once discovered the offending company should be banned from doing business with the government for life and stripped of all ISO and ASA certifications.

Now that I work for a defense contractor my company takes this seriously, our reputations would be damaged if we used counterfeit parts in our products. I chose that picture because it was the most oblivious scam.

i guess that is assuming any REAL incoming inspection is still done...
