AKM factory fire affects lead times and pricing of IQD’s components

Posted: 22nd December 2020

Due to a fire at ASIC supplier Asahi Kasei Microsystem (AKM) supplies of IQD’s TCXOs, OCXOs and Clock Modules are affected. Consequently, this affects the company’s lead times and prices of the products mentioned.

These effects are driven by a global shortage of AKM semiconductor chips, used in a substantial amount of TCXO, OCXO and Clock Module components.

Please find below a list of IQD’s models impacted by the AKM fire.

Moving forward, we will see delays in delivery and unavailability over a timeframe of several months.

It is important for customers to review their orders including these parts. Moreover, we want to urge our customers to check their current and upcoming demands for the next 12 to 18 months and contact our sales team urgently.

IQD are trying hard to ensure as many of our customers as possible have their supply secured.

If facing supply issues with these listed components please contact our team.
