In the electronics industry, a second source is a company that is licensed to manufacture and sell components originally designed by another company (the first source).

For simple components such as resistors and transistors, this is not usually an issue, but for complex integrated circuits, vendors often react by licensing one or more other companies to manufacture and sell the same parts as second sources. While the details of such licenses are usually confidential, they often involve cross-licensing, so that the original company also obtains the right to manufacture and sell parts designed by the second source.
