Products of the Week: Components

March 7, 2021
Research and development by component manufacturers hasn't been impacted by the pandemic; you can tell from this Media Gallery of the latest electronic components to be unveiled.

The electronic components industry continues to innovate as manufacturers look to drive production for the latest devices. With the pandemic still ongoing worldwide, the components market, like many industries, has been disrupted due to increased demand and limited stock. That said, the pandemic will certainly come to an end, economic activity will recover, and the components industry is expected to recover quickly once markets normalize. Research and development are two key aspects that haven't been impacted, and to highlight those conditions, we will take a look at the latest electronic components to be unveiled.
