STM32MP1 BOM Sourcing Guide: Memory, Power and Industrial Control Components

STM32MP1 BOM Sourcing Guide: Memory, Power and Industrial Control Components If you are building or repairing a board around the STM32MP1 series, the MPU itself is only one part of the sourcing work. In a real project, buyers usually need to check the full BOM: memory ICs, power management parts, MOSFETs, rectifier diodes, optocouplers, interface...

Industrial Control Board Components Sourcing Guide for OEM and Repair BOMs

Industrial Control Board Components Sourcing Guide for OEM and Repair BOMs When a factory control board fails, most people first look at the whole machine: the PLC, servo drive, inverter, power module or control cabinet. But very often, the real problem is much smaller. It may be one damaged MOSFET, one obsolete driver IC, one...

2026 Semiconductor Pricing Surge: How to Secure Your Supply Chain

2026 Semiconductor Pricing Surge: How to Secure Your Supply Chain Amidst Memory and IC Cost Increases The global electronic component market in 2026 is witnessing a significant upward cycle in pricing. Following the surge in AI infrastructure demand, lead times for high-performance memory ICs and power management components have stretched significantly, with some manufacturers announcing...

Obsolete Electronic Components for Industrial Automation Repairs

In industrial automation, a machine does not always stop because the whole system is broken. Sometimes it stops because one small IC, diode, MOSFET, optocoupler, memory chip or connector is no longer easy to buy. This is why buyers often search for obsolete electronic components when they are repairing PLC modules, servo drives, inverter boards,...

Iran War and Semiconductor Supply Chain Risks in 2026

The short answer: renewed conflict around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz does not mean that every semiconductor will suddenly become unavailable. The more immediate risks for electronics buyers are higher freight and energy costs, disruption to semiconductor materials, longer delivery windows and less predictable component allocation. In July 2026, renewed strikes and attacks on...
