Semiconductors are an essential component for all PCB builds. Semiconductors for industrial and consumer electronics include:
- Diodes
- Transistors
- IC's
- Solid State Switches
Semiconductors are a technology that is always innovating smaller, cooler, more efficient designs. Because of this rapid pace of change in the embedded electronics market, holes are constantly being created in many supply chains. Sometimes it is necessary to source semiconductors for technologies in production years after EOL. Semiconductor brands thus sometimes adopt EOL models and standards due to this demand. A good bulk semiconductor supplier will carry not only brands that represent the cutting edge of technology like TI, but will also carry a selection of the brands that specialize in extending production of EOL semiconductors and
obsolete semiconductors.
