The shutdown crisis raided small and medium-sized electronics companies because this small part! What is the crux of PCB industry?

Passive components such as capacitors and resistors are the golden supporting role in the electronic industry, and all the electronic products we contact in our daily life, such as mobile phones, computers, household appliances, etc. are inseparable from these two most basic components, and the amount is enormous. But since the second half of last year, the price of resistors and capacitors has risen sharply. In the face of rising prices, small manufacturers have almost no voice.

Compared to the rise in prices, the more worry is that the components market today is very serious out of stock, some small and medium-sized electronics companies because of the lack of material forced to shut down.

Resistors and capacitors: Shortage and price increases are in a vicious circle, Some small electronics companies were forced to shut down

The price of both components has been relatively stable for years, but the price of resistors and capacitors has risen sharply since the second half of last year, and the price of some types has even turned dozens of times times.

The cost of passive components such as resistors&capacitors is not too high, but the amount is enormous and essential. As long as the electronic products, will use this electronic components, these are like bricks and tiles on a building.

Before you could place orders at any time, and need to advance one months, half a month to order. If you do not get the components now, Late purchase of the market will be very troublesome. Even if you use cash, you can't get it.

Under the condition that the capacitor/resistor is out of stock, the operation order of the electronic industry is also affected, the enterprise finally signed orders but almost no benefit. By the date of delivery, the agent can not take it out. Even if you can get the goods, the transaction price should be in accordance with the stock market, rather than the contract price on the order. In the face of rising prices, small manufacturers have almost no voice.

The shortages have further exacerbated the rise in prices, causes a vicious circle. In order to retain large customers, some resistor/capacitor manufacturers and distributors, will give priority to supply large downstream enterprises, medium-sized and small-scale factories racking their brains for orders. In Guangdong province, there are many electrical and electronic products processing plants, are forced to stop due to the lack of material.

The continuous shortage and Substantial extension of the delivery period, will inevitably affect the production of electronic final products, currently the affected industries have integrated circuits, chip built-in, 5G base station, LCD display, smart phones, security, automobiles, home appliances, unmanned aircraft. Especially for some labor-intensive lower end products are more severely affected, such as the production of LED light belt, low-end chargers, power, many of them are unable to purchase the chip resistance and capacitors then discontinued.
