How to buy data converters in small lots from the United States
Send a requirement list with the converter part numbers and quantities. Each line is sourced to order from authorized US distributors. Gatewell USA sources and fulfills genuine electronic components from authorized US distributors, to order.
On the line card this family reads: data converters, for example the AD9783. Those are representative parts. Requirement lists are quoted line by line.
A family name is not a classification. Package variants of one base part can carry different classifications.
What we source in this family and how your list is quoted
Converters are sourced to order. Lead time follows the distributor's stock position and is stated on the quote.
The classification runs first. It is run on the orderable part number, from the manufacturer's published classification where one exists. Only then is the quote built. Send the ordering code you would place with a distributor rather than the base device name.
The quote is cost-plus. It is built line by line from distributor cost, inbound freight, outbound freight, cargo insurance and any duties or fees we pay, plus the margin.
We serve integrators, repair and overhaul shops, contract manufacturers, distributors and resellers in any country US law allows us to ship to, from Los Angeles, California.
What you supply and what we file
Four fields per line: MPN, quantity, target date and deliver-to address.
Wire and ACH accepted; other arrangements by written agreement.
We handle the US export filing. Tracking and documents reach you the day the shipment moves. Import formalities, duties and taxes at destination are yours. We supply the commercial invoice grouped by tariff line, the packing list, the certificates and the export filing citation.
What ships and the provenance pack
Parts are received and inspected before they are packed. Date and lot codes are photographed. Labels are scanned. Moisture barrier bags are checked. Counts and weights are checked against the packing slip. Then the lot is labeled, packed and documented.
Every lot ships with a provenance pack: the distributor's packing slip and the manufacturer or distributor certificate of conformance. A distributor invoice copy with prices redacted, date code photographs and label scans are sent on request. Moisture barrier bags ship sealed as received, or resealed with fresh desiccant and a humidity indicator card inside floor life.
Converter lines travel with the rest of your list. FPGAs, timing and power parts on the same requirement list ship in the same consignment, under one commercial invoice grouped by tariff line.
How a request is built on the site
Build the request on the site or paste a BOM. Each line carries the four fields.
The requirement list is logged with a reference. A cost-plus quote comes back by email.
Accept the quote and a proforma invoice follows, grouped by tariff line. A new buyer prepays the first order in full. After the first order the deposit covers landed cost and the balance falls due on delivery confirmation. The distributor order is placed once funds have cleared.
You can also send the list to requests@gatewellusa.com or call (213) 558-2728. Gatewell USA, 811 W 7th Street, Suite 900, Los Angeles, CA 90017.

Questions
How do you decide whether you can quote a converter?
The quote follows the classification.
When a line requires a US export license, we file for it and quote it subject to approval. Ask us.
Can two package variants of one converter be treated the same?
No. Package variants of one base part can carry different classifications. Each variant is its own line and gets its own classification.
A family name is not a classification. Send the ordering code, not the base device name.
Can converters ship with the FPGAs and clocks on the same list?
Yes. Many lines are consolidated into one shipment and one customs entry.
The commercial invoice is grouped by tariff line. One requirement list becomes one consignment.
What if the converter I need is not on the line card?
Put it on the requirement list. The line card lists representative families and representative parts.
Requirement lists are quoted line by line.
How are moisture-sensitive converters packed?
Moisture barrier bags ship sealed as received, or resealed with fresh desiccant and a humidity indicator card inside floor life.
Bags are checked at receiving inspection, along with date and lot codes, labels, and counts and weights against the packing slip.
How is lead time communicated?
Lead time follows the distributor's stock position and is stated on the quote. The quote runs line by line. Each converter on your list carries its own answer.
What is the end-user statement?
A statement naming who will use the parts. Most orders need none. When a line needs a US export license, we tell you what the application requires.
