Leading the way in tough anti-counterfeiting measures

Threats of counterfeit components entering the supply chain is a growing concern as demand increases and fake parts are harder to detect. This, combined with the current product shortages, means it’s more important than ever to buy from an authorized distributor.  Mouser Electronics’ customers can order with confidence, knowing that the global authorized distributor has […]

TrendForce: DRAM Prices to Drop by 10%

According to the latest TrendForce research, despite the rapid weakening of overall consumer demand in 1H22, DRAM manufacturers previously presented a tough stance on price negotiations and gave little ground, steadily conveying inventory pressure from buyers to sellers. Facing uncertain peak-season demand in 2H22, some DRAM suppliers have begun effectively expressing clear intentions to cut prices, especially […]

NASA’s Webb Delivers Deepest Infrared Image of Universe Yet

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view […]

Distribution boosted by rising OEM design and supply chain services 

Electronic component distributors have hit the sweet spot of their market. In addition to surging demand for semiconductors, passives, interconnects and electromechanical parts, OEMs are asking distributors to support them with more value-added services, including design engineering, supplier management, inventory management and scarce component procurement functions.

EOL: The Chip Shortage You Don’t See Coming

As the global semiconductor industry breaks ground on dozens of new fabs, there’s a side effect that chip makers don’t like to advertise: product obsolescence. Current supply chain dynamics could drive a large number of end-of-life (EOL) semiconductors into short supply. Typically, when demand and margins for a semiconductor line start to decline, chip makers […]
