Important message!

Increased delivery times, lack of chipsets and rising prices.

 

Due to the corona epidemic and unfortunate accidents we now are receiveing warnings from our suppliers and vendors. The industry has to be prepared for increased lead times and delivery problems. These issues are growing and are most likely here to last a few months at least.

Our vendors of frequency products (crystals, oscillators, RTC and filters) are strongly affected by a factory fire in Asia. In addition there has been an earthquake in the northeastern region of Japan.
The production of silicon wafers will be suffering for a long time. This will affect a lot of sub suppliers with up to tripled lead times. Allocations on some parts have already taken action.

Our display vendors report about increasing demand for LCDs, due to the high demand from many market segments. The lack of wafers result in a huge shortage of driver IC’s. This lead to production problems and allocation is unavoidable.

On top of this we experience lots of problems related to transportation. Due to poor access of airplanes the lead times are suffering even more. We have also seen a dramatic increase in the transportation costs.
The fact that people are quarantined all around the world will also have impact on the lead times from our connector and cable manufacturers.
 

Our best suggestion:
We strongly advice our customers to have this in mind when you are planning for the deliveries for the first half (may be more) of 2021.
Please take action and place your orders as soon as possible. Earlier than you normally would have done.

 
Link Nordic will of course do our best to help you through these difficult times.
