06 The hardest word to News hear: no Finding folding flat cable From what I’ve read about the process the human brain goes through when decision making, I seem to recall that ‘comparison’ is an important element. 10 Thus, when confronted with a decision, the brain trawls its memory to see if it Semiconductors has tackled similar decisions in the past The price of success and what the outcomes of its choices were.
For example, I’m a member of a rather exclusive club who held a mortgage in 18 the early ‘90s when interest rates started at 10 per cent and headed for 15 per Lead Times cent at one point. So, thanks to my age, Get ready for longer lead times I’ve never feared interest rate rises as all my financial planning is based on the probability that, one day in the future, mortgage rates will once again reach 15 per cent. 26 Applying that same logic to electronics Crystals & Oscillators sourcing, swap ‘interest rate rises’ for Are programmable parts the answer? ‘allocation’. Given that the world’s markets are based on supply and demand, buyers have always faced ups and downs. Over recent years, such fluctuations have typically been limited 40 to prices and delivery dates.

Wide-ranging demand for services spurs supplier investment in IoT capabilities; Avnet’s acquisition of Dragon Innovation is the latest case in point

Suppliers are taking different community of 750,000 entrepreneurs, makers, and engineers, according routes to meet this demand, including forming innovative partnerships to Avnet. and looking for merger and acquisition opportunities. One of the newest industry examples combines both strategies in an effort to give large Larger, established customers can also take advantage of Dragon’s and small customers an end-to-end solution for IoT projects. services for smaller scale, prototyping solutions, according to Dragon’s founder and CEO, Scott N. Miller. Earlier this fall, global electronic components distributor Avnet Inc. announced its acquisition of Dragon Innovation, a manufacturing “Big companies are waking up and realizing they need to start solutions company that helps customers manufacture products at scale. innovating,” explains Miller, adding that some are venturing into new The deal gives Dragon Innovation access to deep resources to grow its territory when developing hardware solutions and others are looking to business—which employs 10 people in the United States and another test on a smaller scale the addition of IoT capability to existing products. 21 in China—while allowing Avnet to extend its design and supply chain activities to include the next step in the process: developing a As a result, access to Avnet’s customer base is a big win, Miller says. manufacturing plan and putting that plan into action. “These are typically much larger customers [for us], but if our thesis is This is an especially important piece of the puzzle for start-ups, which right, we can figure out which ones we can add value to,” he adds. comprise a large and growing portion of the IoT market and often have little to no experience in the production side of the business.

A thermoelectric module, or Peltier cooler, is a semiconductor-based electronic component that functions as a small heat pump. By applying a low voltage DC power source to a TE module, heat will be moved through the module from one side to the other.
In addition to those technologies listed above, there are several kinds of thermal interface materials that can aid thermal management. Gap filler, grease or putty, adhesive and epoxy, as well as phase change, insulating or non-insulating, pads and films and thermal tape materials go between a heatsink and the device to be cooled. By increasing or securing contact between the two surfaces, thermal transfer is intensified.
Purchasing variables When sourcing any of these thermal solutions, there are several factors that procurement professionals should consider. Availability, product shelf life, warehousing, storage and packaging can all introduce variables, as can any modified or custom products.

It’s not much fun when getting Future failures what you paid for proves to be Not all quality deficiencies are a bad thing. immediately obvious; sometimes they only show up after being in service for a while. www.digikey.com The ‘capacitor plague’ of the early-mid 2000s is a good example. Electrolytic capacitors produced by numerous low- cost suppliers failed prematurely at a high rate, allegedly due to widespread use of a stolen electrolyte formulation that was incomplete. Several major computer equipment manufacturers were affected, with one reportedly incurring direct costs of several hundred million USD, plus additional intangible losses. This, for problems that didn’t even pose much of a safety issue. POWER Bearing this in mind, it’s worth taking time to understand the effects of component failures, the impact of those DISTRIBUTION failures on your customers and the potential risks to your business that follow. Then, make a decision as to whether quality matters. If it does, two UNITS rules of thumb go a long way toward achieving it.
Quality mattters First, buy only from reputable manufacturers. If the company has been in business for over 20 years, invests in research and development and demands more than rock-bottom prices, there’s a good chance it makes a quality product. If it also has a corporate presence in a jurisdiction accessible to your legal resources, this is a good indicator that they’ll stand behind their product.
Expect the opposite from suppliers that imitate established brands; if they’re unethical enough to leech off the credibility of those whose business they’re undercutting, why would they bother conducting an honest business with customers?
