Re:Reverse engineering a counterfeit 7805 voltage regulator by jpindar on Saturday September 06, 2014 @03:07PM (#8279171)
Not at all. There are plenty of counterfeits that are not functional - some don't even have a die in them.

Also, these parts have a brand logo on them, but are not made by that manufacturer. If Hyundai sold cars with the word Honda and a Honda logo on them, without permission from Honda, they would indeed be counterfeits.
