Overcoming passive supply issues for growth applications
Summary
One of the best ways to ensure a continuous supply of essential parts is to work closely with a distributor, so you can benefit from their expert knowledge of likely future trends, and their economies of scale. For example, KC-LINK capacitors from KEMET are made from a robust and proprietary C0G/NPO Base Metal Electrode (BME) dielectric system, and are well suited for power converters, inverters, snubbers, and resonators, where high efficiency is a primary concern. Another much-hyped technology at the moment is 5G, promising faster downloads for consumers and better efficiency for operators, as well as improved capabilities to handle many smartphones in small areas, such as a crowded shopping mall. Working with an expert distributor can greatly improve your ability to choose the right passive components; both in terms of the part that’s best suited to your application requirements, and one that will be available on the lead times and quantities that you need. A distributor such as TME can provide the market insight and technical knowledge needed, to make decisions that are right now and for the future - as well as the logistics and scale to deliver the components required, quickly and efficiently.
