Electronic Component Shortages – What To Do When Parts Become Unavailable?

Why component availability matters, and how good electronic engineering and component procurement can reduce the risks.

Electronic component availability has always been an important consideration in product design and manufacture. However, increasing demand from industries such as Artificial Intelligence, Electric Vehicles and Industrial Automation is placing additional pressure on parts of the global semiconductor supply chain.

For manufacturers, this can mean longer lead times, higher prices and, in some cases, components becoming subject to allocation.

Understanding these challenges, and planning for them early, can make the difference between maintaining production and facing costly delays.

What is component allocation?

Allocation occurs when demand for a particular component exceeds the manufacturer’s available supply.

Rather than accepting unlimited orders, manufacturers or their authorised distributors, may restrict the quantities available to individual customers, sometimes prioritising existing customers or those with established purchasing commitments.

Even customers willing to pay higher prices may find that the components they need simply aren’t available when required.

Allocation can affect a wide range of electronic components, including:

  • Microcontrollers and processors – from manufacturers such as STMicroelectronics, Microchip, NXP and Texas Instruments.

  • Power management and analogue devices – including products from Infineon, Onsemi and Vishay.

  • Memory devices – where demand from computing and AI applications can influence availability and pricing.

  • Passive components – including capacitors, resistors and inductors from manufacturers such as Murata.

  • PCB materials – where raw material availability and manufacturing capacity can affect both prices and delivery schedules.

Not all products from these manufacturers are necessarily affected. Availability can vary considerably between individual part numbers, and conditions can change rapidly.

Why is allocation happening?

There is rarely a single cause.

Rapidly growing demand from emerging technologies can place pressure on manufacturing capacity, particularly where production requires specialist semiconductor fabrication processes.

Increasing production capacity is expensive and can take years, making it difficult for manufacturers to respond quickly to sudden changes in demand.

The situation can be made worse when customers anticipate shortages and increase their orders to protect future production. This can create a cycle in which apparent demand exceeds actual consumption, further restricting availability.

Geopolitical uncertainty, particularly relevant in today’s international trading environment, together with changes in trade arrangements and disruptions to raw material supplies, can introduce further complications.

What issues could you expect?

Long lead-times -Lead-times are increasing, with some manufacturers quoting anywhere from 30weeks-52.

Increased costs – As demand rises, so to do prices. Franchised routes increase their baselines to match the demand, and stockists buy up stock to sell them for a premium. This further drives the allocation issue, turning it into a vicious cycle.

Counterfeit parts – Grey market supplies come into their element and use the panic to produce counterfeit parts which often go unnoticed.

Production stops – failure to plan leads to production lines stopping. This can haemorrhage money for companies who have no alternate route.

Designing around the problem

At Arrow Technical, we believe that managing component availability should begin at the design stage, rather than waiting until a product enters manufacture.

Where practical, our engineers consider alternative components during development, reducing dependence on a single manufacturer or part number.

This might involve selecting components with compatible alternatives, allowing flexibility in PCB layouts, or identifying alternative solutions that could be introduced with relatively minor design changes.

Our procurement team also works closely with established suppliers to monitor availability, identify potential shortages and source suitable alternatives before problems affect production.

A little forward planning during design can prevent a great deal of expense and disruption later. 

What about the grey market?

When authorised distributors cannot supply a component, manufacturers sometimes turn to the grey market.

The grey market consists of components sold outside the manufacturer’s authorised distribution network. These may include genuine surplus stock, excess inventory from other manufacturers or components obtained through independent brokers.

The grey market is not necessarily illegitimate, and it can provide a valuable source of otherwise unavailable components.

However, it also introduces additional risks.

Components may have been stored incorrectly, handled without adequate electrostatic protection, or supplied without reliable traceability. In the worst cases, parts may be counterfeit, previously used or incorrectly identified.

For manufacturers producing safety-critical or high-reliability equipment, these risks can be particularly significant.

Our approach to alternative sourcing

Arrow Technical’s preference is always to obtain components through manufacturers and their authorised distribution channels.

Where this is not possible, we can investigate alternative sources through established and trusted independent suppliers.

These suppliers employ inspection and verification procedures intended to reduce the risks associated with independently sourced components.

However, inspection cannot eliminate every risk, and the level of testing required depends on the component and its intended application.

At Arrow Technical, we only consider grey-market sources when conventional supply channels have been exhausted, and even then, only with our customer’s prior knowledge and agreement. In these circumstances, we also apply additional inspection and testing procedures to minimise the associated risks.

This ensures that customers understand the options available and can make informed decisions about cost, availability and acceptable risk.

Can we help with your component availability problems?

Whether you are developing a new electronic product or struggling to maintain production of an existing design, early action can help avoid costly delays.

Arrow Technical can review your Bill of Materials (BOM), investigate component availability and identify potential alternatives.

Where necessary, our engineers can also assess the implications of substituting components, including any changes required to the circuit design, PCB layout or firmware.

Are you concerned about component availability?

Send us your BOM or component enquiry and let our engineering and procurement teams investigate the options.

Long Range Data Transfer

LoRa — When a Little Data Needs to Travel a Long Way

Not every connected product needs Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or a mobile data connection when LoRa is an option.

Sometimes the requirement is much simpler: send a relatively small amount of information, use very little power, cover a considerable distance and do it reliably without adding significant cost or infrastructure.

In those circumstances, LoRa can be a remarkably effective solution.

Long range without high power

LoRa — short for Long Range — is a low-power radio technology designed specifically for applications where relatively small amounts of data need to be transmitted over much greater distances than would normally be practical with technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi but it still enjoys the advantage of licence free operation.

At Arrow Technical we have used LoRa in real applications and carried out our own range testing. Under suitable conditions, we have achieved reliable communication at distances of up to approximately 4 km at the full data rate.

That is an impressive distance for a small, low-cost radio module operating at very modest power levels.

Of course, radio range always depends upon the environment. Buildings, terrain, antenna positioning, interference and installation details all have an effect. But even where maximum range isn’t required, LoRa’s generous link budget can provide something equally valuable: robust communications at shorter distances in less-than-ideal conditions.

The trade-off is data rate

There is no magic involved. LoRa achieves its combination of range, robustness and low power consumption partly by accepting relatively low data rates.

If you need to stream video, audio or large quantities of data, LoRa is clearly the wrong technology.

But many electronic products don’t need to do that.

A remote sensor might only need to report a temperature, level, pressure, alarm condition or equipment status periodically. A control system may only need to transmit a few bytes to operate an actuator or confirm that something has happened.

For applications like these, sacrificing bandwidth that isn’t needed in exchange for greater range and lower power consumption can be an excellent engineering trade-off.

Designed for applications where batteries need to last

Low power consumption becomes particularly important when both ends of a wireless system need to operate from batteries.

Applications we have developed using LoRa where both parts needed to be battery powered, had a target operating life measured in years rather than days or weeks.

LoRa lends itself particularly well to these types of application. Devices can remain in very low-power states for much of the time, waking when necessary to exchange relatively small amounts of information before returning to sleep.

This can make applications practical where regularly changing or recharging batteries would be inconvenient, expensive or simply unrealistic.

Useful in difficult and hazardous environments

Low-power operation can have advantages beyond simply extending battery life.

It can also be particularly valuable when designing equipment for difficult or hazardous environments. In applications requiring intrinsically safe equipment, controlling the amount of electrical energy available within the equipment is a fundamental part of the design.

At Arrow Technical we are currently working on LoRa-based equipment for which intrinsic safety certification is required in several international regions. Certification is underway as the products are progressing through that process.

LoRa does not itself make a product intrinsically safe — the complete product electronic design, including its energy storage, circuitry, component selection, PCB design and construction, has to be designed and assessed accordingly.

However, the very low power requirements possible with LoRa can make it an attractive communications technology when developing battery-powered equipment for these demanding environments.

LoRa doesn’t necessarily mean LoRaWAN

LoRa and LoRaWAN are sometimes used as though they mean the same thing, but there is an important distinction.

LoRa is the underlying radio technology. LoRaWAN is a networking protocol built around it, allowing devices to communicate through gateways and potentially onwards to internet or cloud services.

For some applications LoRaWAN is exactly what is required.

For others, a much simpler direct LoRa point-to-point or local network may be preferable. If all that is required is for a handful of devices to communicate across a site, there may be little benefit in adding unnecessary network infrastructure or cloud services.

As always, the right solution depends upon what the product actually needs to do and Arrow Technical are experienced and well placed to advise how best to deploy it.

Choosing the technology to suit the problem

LoRa isn’t a replacement for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Matter, cellular communications or other wireless technologies. They each solve different problems.

But where the requirements include:

  • relatively small amounts of data;
  • very low power consumption;
  • battery operating life potentially measured in years;
  • long communication distances;
  • robust operation;
  • relatively low hardware cost; and
  • little or no existing communications infrastructure,

LoRa deserves serious consideration.

The important part of designing a wireless product isn’t choosing the newest or most fashionable technology. It is choosing the technology whose characteristics best match the application.

At Arrow Technical, we have practical experience designing LoRa communications into electronic products — including battery-powered tracking systems, low-power product design and real-world long-range testing.

If you have a product that needs to communicate reliably over a significant distance — particularly where power, cost or the operating environment present additional constraints — send us the requirements and let our engineers take a look. LoRa may provide a much simpler solution than you expect.

Matter, Electronic Product Development

By

Electronic Design, Electronic Manufacturing

Matter — Making Smart Products Easier For Everybody

Many electronic products now need to be connected, monitored or controlled as part of a wider system. Until recently, that could mean developing not only the product itself, but also the communications infrastructure, a user interface and sometimes a cloud service.

Matter offers another approach.

By designing a sensor, actuator or control unit to work within the Matter ecosystem, manufacturers can use established platforms such as Apple Home and Google Home, running on smartphones and other devices, for commissioning, control and automation. This allows engineering effort to be concentrated on the part of the product that actually differentiates it, while taking advantage of an ecosystem and user interface that already exists.

What is Matter?

Matter is an industry standard designed to allow compatible connected products from different manufacturers to work together.

Rather than a manufacturer having to develop a complete proprietary system, a Matter-compatible device can become part of an established ecosystem. Users can add devices, monitor and control them, and create automations using familiar interfaces such as Apple Home or Google Home.

Importantly, Matter is not tied to one phone or equipment manufacturer. Compatible devices from different suppliers can work together within the same system, reducing dependence on proprietary hardware and software.

Concentrate on the part that adds value

Consider a manufacturer developing a specialist environmental sensor.

Traditionally, the sensor itself might be only one part of the development. The complete product could also require communications hardware and software, a gateway, a dedicated user interface or app and perhaps supporting cloud infrastructure.

With Matter, much of that wider ecosystem already exists.

Engineering effort can therefore be concentrated on what makes the product different — perhaps the sensing technology, accuracy, packaging, power consumption, environmental protection or specialist application knowledge.

The same principle applies to actuators and control products: switches, valves, motors, lighting controls, ventilation equipment and many other devices.

Why reinvent the whole system when much of it already exists?
It just needs packaging differently.

What if the device you need doesn’t exist?

An increasing range of Matter-compatible sensors and actuators are already available off-the-shelf. But sometimes the particular device required for a specific application simply doesn’t exist.  Perhaps a sensor needs to measure an unusual parameter, operate in a difficult environment or interface with existing equipment. An actuator may require a particular mechanical arrangement, power output or control function. This is where custom electronics can fill the gap.

Arrow Technical can design and manufacture a specialist sensor, actuator or control unit where a suitable standard product isn’t available. Matter compatibility can then allow that custom device to become part of a much wider established system without having to develop the complete system from scratch.

Not just for the home

Although Matter is commonly associated with home automation, the same approach can be useful in commercial environments such as shops, offices, workshops, restaurants and small industrial units.

Applications could include:

  • environmental monitoring;
  • occupancy sensing;
  • lighting and heating control;
  • ventilation;
  • refrigeration monitoring;
  • energy measurement;
  • water-leak detection;
  • doors, shutters and other security-related functions.

 

A small business may not need the complexity or expense of a conventional Building Management System, but could still benefit considerably from automatic monitoring and control — particularly where ease of setup, low-cost, energy saving, security or early detection of problems provides a clear financial benefit.

Matter and connectivity

Matter can operate over familiar IP networking technologies including Wi-Fi and Thread. Thread is a low-power wireless mesh technology particularly suited to embedded devices such as battery-powered sensors, and the necessary network infrastructure may already exist in products such as Apple HomePod, Apple TV and compatible Google Nest devices.  For many users, however, the underlying technology can remain largely invisible — they simply add a compatible device to their existing system and use the interface they already know. They don’t need to concern themselves how it works – they can rely on the fact that it just does.

Easier doesn’t mean no engineering

Matter doesn’t make every electronic device automatically compatible with every automation platform.  Products still need to be properly designed around supported Matter device types and functions, with appropriate consideration given to communications, security, firmware, certification and product reliability.

For unusual applications, additional integration may still be required and specialists, like Arrow Technical are there to help when unusual appears to be impossible.

But compared with developing an entirely proprietary connected-product ecosystem, Matter can substantially change where the engineering effort needs to be spent.

Could Matter simplify your next product?

If you are developing a sensor, actuator or control product — or have an application where the device you need simply isn’t available off the shelf or making it work is proving too challenging to handle internally — talk to Arrow Technical.

There may be an opportunity to develop the specialist hardware and software your application requires while using Matter and established automation platforms to provide much of the wider system around it.

 

Concentrate your development effort on what makes your product different — and take advantage of what already exists to get effective solutions to market before anybody else does.

FR-4 PCB material supply shortages causing longer lead times and rising manufacturing costs

Electronic Manufacturing

PCB Material Supply Shortages – Is Your Design Making Them More Expensive?

The electronics industry is facing another supply-chain challenge. This time it isn’t just semiconductors.

During 2026, increasing pressure has been reported across the PCB material supply chain, with shortages affecting the raw materials used to manufacture printed circuit boards. Shortages that initially affected specialist high-performance laminates are now beginning to affect more conventional FR-4 materials, with increasing lead times, higher prices and allocation of some supplies.

Why is this happening?

Rapid expansion of AI and data-centre infrastructure is creating enormous demand for sophisticated multilayer PCBs. These boards consume significant quantities of specialist glass fabrics, copper foil and resin systems — the same underlying manufacturing resources used to produce more conventional PCB laminates.

At the same time, demand from electric vehicles, renewable energy, networking and other electronics markets continues to compete for capacity.

As laminate manufacturers respond by prioritising production of higher-performance materials, capacity available for conventional FR-4 can become constrained. The result is increasing pressure on availability, lead times and price for PCB manufacturers and ultimately their customers.

Could the PCB specification itself be part of the problem?

We cannot solve a worldwide material shortage — but there may be things we can do about its effect on an individual product and make it easier to live with the situation as it exists today.

PCB specifications often evolve over many years. Requirements appropriate when a product was originally designed may remain on the drawing long after the reason for them has disappeared.

When materials are readily available this may simply add a little cost. When supplies become constrained, however, an unnecessarily restrictive specification can also make a PCB considerably more difficult to source.

It may therefore be worth reviewing such things as:

  • PCB material and laminate specifications
  • Multilayer stack-up
  • Copper weights
  • Surface finishes
  • Manufacturing tolerances
  • Alternative technically equivalent materials
  • PCB dimensions and panel utilisation

 

Even relatively small changes can sometimes improve manufacturing efficiency or give PCB manufacturers greater flexibility in sourcing materials.

Of course, cheaper isn’t better if it changes the way the product performs. Any proposed change needs to consider electrical and thermal performance, EMC, mechanical requirements, reliability, safety and any relevant approvals.

Let us review your PCBA

If you have an existing product that is becoming increasingly expensive to manufacture — or you’re concerned about future PCB availability — it may be worth taking another look at the design rather than simply accepting increasing prices.

Send us your PCB/PCBA information and let our engineers review it. There may be opportunities to improve panel utilisation, allow alternative materials or simplify specifications — potentially reducing cost and improving supply resilience without compromising the original product performance.

Sometimes the best way of dealing with a supply problem isn’t simply finding another supplier.

It is making the product easier for suppliers like Arrow Technical to manufacture.

Electric Vehicle Battery Breakthrough

Electric vehicle battery breakthrough coming soon!

With much of the talk in recent years gearing towards Elon Musk’s views concerning the Electric vehicle, it is a breath of fresh air to hear from somebody new. Musk’s dramatic market breakthrough made with Tesla put him in a leading position and it‘s now hard to see how he leaves much room for any other upcoming or established manufacturers of electric vehicles to make their own mark. This breakthrough was displayed by his ability to show how electric vehicles can be manufactured reliably and sold to the general public in relatively large quantities. Not only that but he made them fun, stylish and enjoyable to drive which was arguably lacking in the market for electric vehicles before that time. But, it appears that Elon has posed an interesting question during an earning call with a select audience. The question posed was “Can somebody please come up with a battery breakthrough? “. This was brought on by recent news of Toyota working on a solid state battery informed to him during the earning call. Solid State batteries are still a relatively unproven technology with regards to powering a car.

The Major difference between what Tesla uses currently in their range of vehicles (Lithium-ion Battery) and Solid state batteries is that the commonly used Lithium-ion makes use of a liquid electrolytic solution to regulate flow of current. On the other hand, solid state batteries incorporate a solid electrolyte. Although these changes still do not affect the fundamental way the battery works, it does change some performance specifications such as maximum storage capacity, charging time, size and safety. So you can see how this would be beneficial to the Electric Vehicle industry. It does come with its drawbacks though which is currently the cost. As a Product development consultancy, we would generally suggest a solid state battery if the customer is willing to accept the higher price tag.

Electronic circuit design

Size comparison

Recent news of Toyota developing a Solid state battery technology has been noted by the CEO of another Electric Vehicle company, rivalling Elon Musk’s Tesla, named Henrik Fisker. The name may sound familiar as he is the founder of Fisker Automotive. The company arrived on the electric vehicle scene in 2007 and shortly afterwards went bankrupt but they have recently started up again under the name Fisker, Inc. Henrik has stated that on his upcoming luxury electric Sedan, to be named “Emotion”, instead of using the Lithium-ion battery option his team are currently just months away from adding the final design touches for a solid state battery that will be used to power the Sedan instead. This breakthrough means that Fisker could pose a serious threat to Tesla in the luxury electric car market in terms of performance and we could also be seeing a wider variety of such vehicles on our roads soon.

Clever Electronic circuit designs to pair with the batteries will play a vital role in monitoring and ensuring the performance and safety of the batteries into the market. Arrow Technical are at the forefront of electric car drive, transmission and control systems where advanced electronic controls plays an increasingly crucial part of the entire system. Low-cost, compact, efficient and modular electronics are critical design parameters for this rapidly growing segment of the automotive industry and Arrow Technical are proud to play their part in its development.

LED Circuit Design

New application discovered for LED’s… to help see through flames!

Usually seeing through the flames of a fire is nearly impossible, which poses a big challenge for firefighters and the manufacturers of building materials. It’s interesting to discover that researchers have now uncovered a way to see through the flames produced by a fire with just two readily available pieces of equipment. These are a Camera fitted with an optical filter and a light source which emits a blue light using LED’s (Light emitting diodes). So, Good news for LED Circuit Design enthusiasts.

The task given to the researchers was to understand how a fire destroys a structure, these tests were run in their own laboratory and on test buildings. Previously, measurements were taken before and after the fire, furthermore following the fire a model would be produced by them showing how the fire progressed to achieve the measurement taken after the fire. The problem which the researchers found with this approach is that a high degree of guess work was involved during the duration of the fire where they simply couldn’t see what was going on beyond the flames. It is critical to know how and exactly when certain items are destroyed by a fire.

Another problem faced by the researchers was that most tools and sensors do not work reliably when subject to extreme heat, even at a distance. Also a camera alone with an optical filter to provide an image of the fire was still unclear and mainly drowned out by flames and created an overwhelmingly red theme. So, the image was pretty useless for the objectives of the researchers which was to see inside the fire in real-time.

This is where the blue light source comes into play, Blue lights have previously been used to view hot materials but never in this extreme application. Researchers discovered that whilst illuminating the fire with these powerful LED’s and recording at the same time with the camera they could actually see beyond, through the flames. This has proved to be a ground breaking discovery and now is being used to determine how building materials are affected by the flames.

Here at Arrow Technical we regularly work with LED’s in numerous lighting applications from LED Circuit Design to various electronic volume manufacturing solutions which incorporate the use of lighting LED’s. So, it is eye opening to see the various other applications in which they can potentially be used. We will be keen to follow how this technology could be formed to potentially aid our fire services.   We have already designed other products for advanced firefighting such as head-up displays, breathing monitoring to prevent hyperventilation and advanced inertial guidance systems to lead fire crews through environments when traditional compass and GPS instruments will not work. Please view our Services page to see if we could be of any assistance.

New Technology emerges from Apple to reduce tech-induced distractions!

New Technology emerges from Apple to reduce tech-induced distractions! 

As Product Development Consultancy its nice to see new technology has been announced from Apple Inc. with a new range of features aiding users to monitor their own Mobile device. This new feature will be featured as a part of the forthcoming IOS 12 Software. It will compromise of a weekly report that shows users in which areas they are most using their devices. This data will then help the user to identify in what ways their mobile device is most distracting them. As Product Development consultants Arrow Technical regularly monitor the inspiring ongoing developments at Apple to ensure the technology we develop is in tune to the leading market trends.

Apple have also enabled the feature to send out reports to any parents’ phone from their children’s and to set time constraints on application usage. With Mobile devices being such a big part of today’s society it has been recognised that usage can affect the mental health of users, particularly children. Here at Arrow we work within the Medical Product design industry amongst others so we know just how much of an impact this simple yet effective innovation could have.

More features include a new updated Do not Disturb feature, a new bedtime mode which will enable user to dim their screen and hide notifications until morning. As well as new group calling capabilities on Face time for up to 32 people.

It’s great to see Apple offering innovative products with the consumer’s mental health at the forecourt. With most of society being geared towards a features arms-race, offering technology which trumps other mobile device manufacturers, the actual long term health effects of extensively using their products for the consumer can often be overlooked. You can’t change what has happened, you can only control how you react in future.

We support these kind of considerations in advanced product developments.  It’s in tune with Arrow Technical’s inherent design philosophy that technology should work in harmony with the human race and make us better people and not be worse off for the experience.
