Vendor Listing Requirements

If you are a vendor and do not see your company here, or want your information updated or changed, send an email to the email address in the contact information. The same if you are a power supply designer and don't see your favorite companies. [If you have done this before and got no response, try again. Some of my email got lost.] Your description may be modified to make it compatible with the key words above and to keep it short. No cost is involved, but to be listed your website must:

Not automatically play music or make other sounds. -- Many power supply designers work in close proximity to others and sound blasts are incredibly annoying.
Display useful content on the screen within a few seconds. -- Designer's time is valuable, let them know if they have landed in the right place as quickly as possible.
Contain full contact information, including address, phone, and email. -- If you don't take pride in who you are, who will.
Contain information useful to the power supply designer. -- A website that is little more than a business card, brochure, or product catalog is of limited use to a power supply designer.
