Supplier of current device? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distributor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'supplier' is the first definition.
(distributor is a kind of supplier)

'current device?' is the second definition.
'distributor' can be an answer for 'device?' (distributor is a kind of device). I am unsure of the 'current' bit.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for distributor that I've seen before include "Car engine component - marketing agent" , "engine part" , "Supplier of goods to retailers" , "Dealer" .)
