Our Services
More Than Distribution
PartnerTubes goes beyond supplying components. We provide the technical expertise, supply chain infrastructure, and support services that help your operations run without interruption.
Technical Support & Application Engineering
Our application engineers help you identify the right tube for your system, interpret datasheets and specifications, troubleshoot performance issues, and evaluate equivalent or upgraded replacements. We understand the physics and engineering of vacuum electronic devices — not just the part numbers.
- Part identification and cross-referencing
- Application suitability assessment
- Specification interpretation
- Performance troubleshooting assistance
Tube Testing & Evaluation
Before shipping, critical tubes can be performance-tested to verify output power, gain, frequency, and compliance with datasheet specifications. For NOS (new-old-stock) and refurbished devices, we coordinate testing to confirm functionality before delivery.
- Performance verification testing
- NOS device screening
- Test reports on request
- RMA coordination and failure analysis
Supply Chain Management
Protect your production continuity with PartnerTubes' supply chain services. We work with you to understand consumption patterns, lead times, and criticality — then build a supply plan that ensures you never face an unplanned shutdown due to tube availability.
- Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) programs
- Long-term supply agreements
- End-of-life (EOL) last-time-buy planning
- Obsolescence management
- Buffer stock and consignment
Design-In Support
Working on a new product design that requires vacuum electronic devices? Our engineers provide design-in support from component selection through to prototype validation, helping you get the design right the first time and optimize for performance, reliability, and cost.
- Component selection and specification
- Circuit design guidance
- Prototype component supply
- Design review and optimization
System Integration Support
Beyond individual components, we can assist with subsystem-level sourcing — identifying matching power supplies, cooling systems, and ancillary components that complement the vacuum electronic device at the heart of your system.
- Compatible component identification
- Power supply and modulator sourcing
- System configuration advice
Logistics & Export Documentation
Operating from the Netherlands, PartnerTubes provides full EU commercial and export documentation. We handle preferential origin certificates (EUR.1, REX), dual-use export licensing where required, and can support Incoterms from EXW to DDP.
- EU preferential origin documentation
- Export licensing support
- Full Incoterms range
- Dangerous goods (IATA/IMDG) where applicable
