ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE STRAINS THE MLCC MARKET
PDC (Prosperity Dielectric Co.) is a company that belongs to the PSA (Passive System Alliance) technology group. It is a manufacturer specializing in the design and production of passive electronic components, standing out primarily in the manufacturing of high-power, large-size multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), as well as chip resistors (chip-R).
AI is having a major impact on the supply chain and is completely changing the global technological landscape, and with it, the availability of electronic components. Although the most intense demand for AI-linked infrastructure is currently concentrated in Asia, its impact is already being strongly felt internationally, transforming component availability and lead times.
PDC structures its catalog into two major families of key components, both fully available and qualified for automotive sector applications.

Supply Restrictions and Allocation Risk
As a consequence of growing demand, the global supply base for this type of large-size and high-voltage MLCCs is notably limited. Even though major market brands display seemingly complete catalogs, a very significant portion of their production relies on outsourcing to third parties.
With production lines operating at the limit of their capacity, the market is already experiencing the first consequences: many series and formats have officially entered a supply allocation situation. This means that a large number of manufacturers can no longer guarantee lead times or stable prices, opening the door to prolonged waits and cost volatility.
CRITICAL RECOMMENDATION FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
Due to the severity of the current allocation situation, the message for all our partners and customers is clear: it is essential to plan, place, and schedule orders for delivery as soon as possible.
Planning ahead is the only way to:
- Guarantee material stock: Ensure the physical volume of components required for your production lines.
- Secure lead times and prices: Lock in delivery windows and protect your costs before global market conditions worsen.
Supply is no longer guaranteed through the usual channels of many manufacturers. We invite you to contact our technical and sales team to evaluate your MLCC needs and manage your purchase orders as a priority.
Thank you for trusting Aldinet and our wide range of technological solutions.
