The Coronavirus wreaked havoc on supply chains across the globe and we are still feeling the effects today. We were all happy to see 2020 end, but it was hard to predict the long-term ramifications of a global shut down paired with an unprecedented demand for electronic products.

• Port congestion adds another 4-8 weeks to lead times. You can read more about this issue in our news feed.
Not only has the frequency control industry been subject to these issues, but we have also been dealing with the fallout from the AKM fire that happened in October 2020. Combine that with silicon shortages, pent up demand for integrated circuits, power shortage issues in China, plus limited suppliers of raw materials and you’ve got some real supply chain problems.
