Today's PCBs are complex, multilayered, tiny systems that is difficult to resemble with their earliest ancestors. The printed circuit board industry supports a wide range and types of products. The components go into almost any if not all modern electronic devices. But what's Next for PCBs?

http://ow.ly/yNas50Klh5X

Printed circuit boards have evolved and advanced over a century. The first PCB was invented in the early 1900s by Albert Hanson but it took some years for PCBs until their patenting by Paul Eisler in 1943. Initially, US Army used Printed circuit boards before been integrated in limited consumer prod...

There’s the shortage of some kind related to a specific range of component parts that affects the supply chain. Is it really a thing, this so-called “Asian squeeze”?

Well, even if it has a given name, it is not such a narrow issue that the name implies. I mean, there is clearly more demand than supply. That indicates that we have less capacity than we need. Part of the reason is that it’s not cheap to build a chip factory . There are many estimates of varying investment, but it’s safe to say it’s probably at least $10 billion over five years.

So even under normal circumstances and normally expected ramp of demand, the fix of Supply Chain Shortage is not inexpensive and it’s not quickly implemented. Keeping that in mind, today’s world is anything but “normally-expected ramp of demand.”

Supply Chain Shortage | Explaining the Electronic Parts Shortages

First of all, what is this supply chain shortage that people have been discussing for the last 2 years?

While it seems that everyone has heard the term “Supply Chain Shortage” today, the typical person may have never heard the term “Supply Chain” prior to 2021. While many still might not understand much about it, they know that it is blamed for the scarcity of many products—including electronic products that consumers just can’t get enough of—like iPhones, laptops, and servers. Those are the obvious ones. Then there are also products that we don’t traditionally think of as “electronic products” but that contain critical electronic components—like automobiles for instance.

If anyone has driven by a car dealer’s lot lately, they can attest there aren’t many new cars on display.

Why not?

Because even automakers, with all their buying power and clout, can’t get the semiconductor components required to complete that last 1% or 2% of the car’s content.

What most people don’t know is that a car requires about 1,400 different semiconductors to make. Features like touch panel displays, emergency braking systems, airbag deployment systems, on-board camera systems all require semiconductor chips.

It has been reported that the auto industry lost over $100 Billion in revenue since early 2021 due to the inability to get semiconductors that are needed for their cars.
