If it was this easy to spot bad parts it might be safe to buy from an unauthorized source.

Unfortunately it's not. Even parts that look good may be bad inside. But when you buy from a Supplier Authorized Distributor, you don't have to worry about component quality. To get the genuine parts you specified, handled and delivered with care, and fully warranted by the best manufacturers in the business, look for the Supplier Authorized Distributor logo.
