Nexperia any good?

[slybunda]

Looking to get some transistors and rs components is selling nexperia branded ones. Never heard of this company before, done a search and it says it was a Netherlands company now owned by Chinese.

Quality any good or should i avoid?

Yes, it's a trustworthy company. Its products are used by major brands.

NXP used to be called Philips

[slybunda]

ahh good to know, looks like that brand is sold at farnell, mouser, rs and digikey so hopefully cant be all that bad compared to getting something from ebay or ali?

thilips have been making caps for decades - i used to constantly see them in philips tv chassis

[sam_sam_sam]

I have seen them from time to time but they are not often used in mass production of switching power supplies

Philips had a division called Elcoma. It manufactured capacitors and other passives.

Here are Philips databooks:
