It can be speculated that the shortage of MLCC will relatively increase the demand for tantalum capacitors, such as price changes due to insufficient supply.

* Mainly due to the increasing use of MLCCs in smartphones, cameras, and automobile manufacturing, demand has been gradually increased, and supply has fallen short of demand.
Current delivery period of other manufacturers is at least 40 weeks (MLCC shortage is expected to continue till 2020).

* The market is looking for alternatives to solve the shortage of multilayer ceramic capacitors MLCC, some can be replaced by capacitors with equal ratings (such as tantalum capacitors).
The main difference between tantalum capacitors and ceramic capacitors is their performance at a certain temperature and voltage difference. In many applications, tantalum capacitors can be used to replace MLCCs, but tantalum may increase the cost of the assembly.

* Reasons affecting the price and delivery of tantalum capacitors: increased demand for national defense and aviation, fires in the tantalum mine in Brazil (occurred in March 2019), and the weakening of US dollar against CNY due to international exchange rate factors).

At present, it has been confirmed that MLCC is in short supply and some tantalum capacitors can be replaced. Therefore, the demand for tantalum capacitors has increased. If the supply is insufficient, it will cause market price changes and market supply shortages.

Thank you all adorable visitors coming to our booth in 2019 electronicAsia HK, Kingtronics sales team had a nice time discuss with you. *^-^*

At the Fair, many customers inquired our Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, they are very satisfied with our lead time and offers. do you also have inquiry on hand ?

Following are our product data, welcome share your inquiry with us for best quotation.

There are two kinds of size representations of chip capacitors, one is expressed in inches, one is expressed in millimeters, and the series models of chip capacitors are 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 1812, 2010, 2225… is the inch representation, 04 means the length is 0.04 inches, 02 means the width is 0.02 inches, other similar.

Any order plan scheduled in early October ?

Please note early Oct. our production team will have one week holiday for National Day.

Our production line is tight and fully arranged, so that if order in early Oct. lead time might postpone 2-3 weeks later.

It will be wiser if possible confirm order before end Sept. to have more chances reach better lead time.

Meanwhile, we have hot stock for Diode LL4148, M7, SMD 3mm trimmer capacitor now !

Please don’t hesitate to contact us, we’re willing to support !

We hereby sincerely invite you and your company representatives to visit our booth 5G-C26 at HK Convention and Exhibition Centre from October 13th~16th.

Mid-Autumn Festival is an East Asian harvest festival, held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar with full moon at night.

What are Small Signal Transistors? Small Signal Transistors are transistors that are mainly used to amplify low-level signals but also can be used in On/off switches for general use; Bias supply circuits; LED diode driver; Infrared diode amplifier; Relay driver; Timer circuits; Audio mute function; High voltage ‘A’ class preamplifier; Telecom wireline interface circuits; AM/FM amplifier and local oscillator of FM/VHF tuner.

Typical hFE values for small signal transistors range from 10 to 500, with maximum Ic ratings from about 80 to 600mA.Maximum operating frequencies range from about 1 to 300 MHz. They come in NPN and PNP forms and are being introduced in the small SMD plastic packages such as SOT-23.

Kingtronics small signal transistors are offered with the latest silicon planar technology that ensures high reliability and fast switching performance. We carry below small signal transistors, which meet that features.

MMBT8050 and MMBT8550 are SOT-23 plastic package. There are three terminals which represents base, emitter and collector. For switching and amplifier applications, especially suitable for AF-driver stages and low power output stages.

They are a low voltage high current small signal transistor, designed for class B push-pull audio amplifier and general purpose applications. Collector current up to 600mA; Collector-emitter voltage up to 25V.The MMBT8550 transistor is subdivided into two groups C and D according to its DC current gain.
