Alongside the thousands of exceptional products we stock at Rapid, we also design and back our own exclusive brands — giving you great-value options across a huge range of categories, with that extra bit of care and service you won't find elsewhere.
The benefits of own brands
Own brand doesn't mean compromise. Every product carrying a Rapid own brand name goes through the same rigorous evaluation as the third-party lines we stock, so you get dependable performance at a price point built for real project budgets.
Value without the trade-off
Own brand ranges are engineered to hit a sweet spot: quality that holds up on the bench and in the field, at a price that keeps projects on budget.
Rigorously evaluated
Every product is thoroughly tested before it earns a place in the range, so you're never gambling on an unproven part.
Built for real industries
From telecoms and automotive to instrumentation and audio, own brand products are designed around the demands of the industries that actually use them.
Backed by Rapid's service
Every own brand purchase comes with the same expert guidance and support Rapid is known for — help is always just a call or message away.

Why engineers should be using own brands
For engineers balancing performance, reliability and budget on every project, own brand ranges aren't a compromise - they're a genuine alternative worth specifying.
Reliability you can specify with confidence
Consistent quality control means you can design own brand parts into a build the same way you would any established third-party product.
More budget for the rest of the build
Competitively priced interconnects, enclosures, cable and test gear free up spend for the parts of a project where it matters most.
One-stop sourcing
With ranges spanning connectors, cable, enclosures, switches, thermal management and test equipment, own brands can cover far more of a bill of materials than engineers often expect.
45+ years of expertise behind every part
Own brand development draws on Rapid's decades of experience supplying engineers, educators and hobbyists - so ranges are shaped by real feedback, not guesswork.
Meet the own brand family
Our own brand range is broader than many engineers expect. Six names sit under it, each with its own specialism - cable and cable management, interconnection, electromechanical parts, test and measurement, and education. Here's what each one covers, so you know which to reach for.
UniStrand
The industry-standard cable, cable assembly and cable management range - reliable performance across automotive, audio, telecoms, instrumentation and consumer electronics.
TruConnect
An ever-growing range of high-quality interconnection solutions - terminal blocks, RF/coaxial, wire-to-board, audio and test connectors - built for telecoms, automotive and instrumentation.
R-TECH
Affordable electromechanical products for industrial professionals: enclosures, fuse holders, switches, solders, thermal management and more, every one evaluated before it makes the range.
TruComponents
One of the latest additions to the family, with 3,000+ electromechanical and electrical products - switches, connectors, cables, wires and cable assemblies - serving automotive, industrial, manufacturing and consumer electronics.
