From: Yzordderrex on 5 Jun 2010 09:54 I heard that Vishay is cancelling open orders for fets and shutting lines down. I suspect my intelligence sources though. Has anyone heard anything that might confirm this? regards, Bob

Has anyone > heard anything that might confirm this? Can you get more specific information. With part numbers? For example, Vishay bought a raft of old MOSFET products from IRF a few years ago, parts that IRF was likely ready to retire then, and Vishay may finally be retiring now. -- Thanks, - Win

I was told that they are canceling open orders. I think this is probably an embellishment of the truth. I do notice quite a few fets are out of stock at digikey, so I expect there is a lot of panic buying going on. Not just Vishay, but other sources as well. A different intel source told me that they are trying to slow down this environment where purchasing groups are helter skelter ordering 2x what they need in order to get what they need. Sorry to anybody if I have caused concern. Last thing I want to do is add to the panic. As I said, I suspect the story. regards, Bob

I haven't looked at D or D2 or soic or any thru-hole. regards, Bob

That actually _is_ what I recommend to client for some parts. Better to have $3k of extra inventory sitting on the shelf than being hit with a hard 20wk leadtime and next month you have to furlough half the production staff because of a hardcore line stop. I know that accountants and CFOs really don't like this but man's gotta do what man's gotta do. The only explanation I could imagine is that some mfgs must have slammed the brakes end of 2008.
