Power Devices and SMD Resistors: Supply-Demand Outlook Shows Tightness in Automotive and High-Voltage Models
Recent lead times for power MOSFETs, IGBTs, and automotive-grade SMD resistors have diverged significantly. While general-purpose models remain stable, automotive and high-voltage variants are still tight. We recommend aligning procurement with your project schedules.
Recent market observations indicate stable supply and ample spot availability for general consumer-grade power MOSFETs and standard thick-film chip resistors. However, lead times remain tight for automotive-grade (AEC-Q00) resistors, super-junction high-voltage MOSFETs, discrete IGBTs, and SiC power devices, with some manufacturers maintaining allocation policies. We recommend aligning procurement strategies with your mass production schedules: secure key materials in advance. For models with stable annual demand, utilize framework agreements and rolling forecasts. For automotive and high-voltage parts sensitive to lead times, allow for extended procurement windows and maintain close communication with distributors regarding delivery updates.
