The National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA) was a trade association in the United States of manufacturers and distributors.[http://www.nedassoc.org National Electronic Distributors Association | The Voice of Authorized Distribution] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070707220302/http://www.nedassoc.org/ |date=2007-07-07 }}

The association cooperates in standardization of names for components, such as batteries.[http://www.nedassoc.org/roundtable.php5 NEDA Roundtables] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090323233945/http://www.nedassoc.org/roundtable.php5 |date=2009-03-23 }} NEDA is often cited by American manufacturers, along with ANSI, for names of components.{{Citation needed|date=October 2007}}

NEDA merged with the Electronic Industries Alliance in 2010 to form the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA).[http://www.edn.com/electronics-news/4311980/NEDA-ECA-merge-target-counterfeit-components NEDA, ECA merge, target counterfeit components]
