  • (1888PressRelease) January 16, 2020 - "With customers concerned about the possibility of tight supply, the decisions that customers make today to their passive component supply chain are critical to their security of stock," said Jacques Hing, Corporate Vice President for Passive Components at Future Electronics. In fact, since December, we are already seeing many suppliers with increasingly extended lead times and some key MLCC parts are now on allocation"

    The industry has seen a significant increase in demand from newer applications including IOT, drones, connected vehicles, smart grids, and wearables. The imminent mass adoption of 5G will also require many more MLCCs and passive components.

    Even during the severe MLCC shortages of 2018, Future's best-in-class supply chain programs ensured more than 99.5% on-time delivery to customers around the world.

    "Our passive experts can give real-time, line-by-line consultation on passive products so that our customers can minimize risk and maintain supply," Hing said

    Future Electronics is the world's leading passive distributor, with the most complete line card in the industry, including MLCCs, as well as the full range of capacitive and resistive products such as film caps, supercaps, tantalum caps including polymers and inductors.
