The necessity of 100% authorization for discrete transistors

Discrete transistors are one of the most common components in electronic design.

This product is suitable for a wide range of applications, from simple small signal transistors to large high-power devices, as well as high-frequency/high-power devices.

Although it appears relatively simple on the outside, the different requirements for voltage, current, switching speed, and other parameters make this product available in complex and diverse versions for selection.

Silicon based bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, and IGBT transistors have traditionally covered most applications, and recently SiC (silicon carbide) and GaN (gallium nitride) have been added to the optional list of this product.

The rich variety of product types and diverse packaging forms can meet the needs of various applications, making it an important branch in the semiconductor market.

The demand for discrete transistors has surged in many industries, and transistors are extensively used in these applications.

Although there may be multiple suppliers to choose from, the supply shortage situation forces customers to expand their procurement channels. This includes adding other channels as qualified suppliers, reassessing and expanding allowed temperature and performance levels, accepting a wider range of date and batch numbers, and even redesigning circuit boards to accommodate different packaging versions.
