Not being prepared for component shortages can seriously disrupt PCB development schedules. Some of the shortages are unplanned, including the current lack of passive equipment affecting the entire electronic supply chain. Other deficiencies are planned, such as the normal obsolescence encountered by most components. While your ability to prevent these unexpected events may be limited, being prepared and optimizing your component selection can minimize the overall impact of unexpected obstacles on PCB development. Let’s take a look at the types of component shortages you might encounter and discuss ways to mitigate the negative impact of shortages on PCB development.

Jenis kakurangan komponén

One of the many contingencies of PCB underdevelopment and PCB manufacturing delays is not having enough components. Kurangna komponén tiasa diklasifikasikeun salaku direncanakeun atanapi henteu direncanakeun dumasar kana tingkat anu tiasa ditingali dina industri sateuacanna lumangsung.

Technical Change — One of the most common reasons for a shortage of planned components is a technical change due to new materials, packaging, or machining. Parobihan ieu tiasa asalna tina pamekaran dina panalungtikan sareng pamekaran komérsial (R&D) atanapi panalungtikan dasar.

Unexpected demand increases – In some cases, including the current shortage of electronic components, manufacturers have underestimated market demand and have been unable to keep up.

Manufacturers shut down — In addition, increased demand may be due to the loss of key suppliers, political sanctions, or other unforeseen reasons.
