America II Electronics delivers passive capacitors despite market shortage

ST. PETERSBURG, USA: America II Electronics, Inc., one of the world’s largest independent distributors of semiconductors and passive components, announced its inventory position on passive capacitors.

While industry experts are reporting shortage conditions, America II Electronics is positioned to meet customer demand. The electronics distributor currently has over 600 million capacitors in stock, available for sale and ready to ship.

According to industry sources, supplies of tantalum and aluminum capacitors from manufacturers such as AVX, Kemet, Murata and Vishay will continue to be short of demand in quarters three and four due to peak season effects and the limited supply of tantalum raw materials.

In fact, factory deliveries are currently being quoted at 24 weeks or longer. Even more concerning, many manufacturers are booked for the remainder of 2010 and are now accepting orders for delivery in Q1 2011. However, America II Electronics has immediate capacitor availability for over 200 manufacturers, including the top lines in high demand.

“America II is poised to meet our customers’ needs regardless of market conditions,” said Executive Vice President Chuck Magee at America II Electronics. “Our inventory on passive capacitors stands at 600 million, representing almost 13,000 individual SKUs. So while there may be growing concerns of a shortage in the channel, our customers have not felt the effects due to our current stock position. We’re able to supply our customers with the product they need, when they need it.”

Specializing in hard-to-find and allocated products, as well as stocking long lead-time semiconductors from the top manufacturers, America II Electronics has one of the largest passive inventories in the industry.
