Leadtime trends

The leadtimes for capacitors are stabilising and capacitor manufacturers are now quoting leadtimes out to 2020. Some values of film, aluminium electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are showing allocation or manual quotations. Charcroft is working with individual customers to suggest alternatives with shorter leadtimes or discussing a change of technology, such as replacing 10 ceramic capacitors with a single polymer capacitor.
