Second sources for automotive products, alternative candidates, delivery schedule risk hedging, preliminary sample prototyping, and a relaxed delivery schedule for evaluation.
We have received requests for proposals on countermeasures for delays in implementation due to parts shortages, and to have options available, we recommend preemptively using alternative products for sample prototyping and evaluation. (You can download the cross-reference table for equivalent products from the catalog.)
In automotive products where reliability is critical, starting evaluations only when shortages occur can lead to tight schedules. Bourns' sulfur-resistant film resistors and arrays reduce failures related to corrosion, improving system reliability, performance, and robustness, while minimizing downtime.

Additionally, we can propose alternative products from manufacturers other than those listed in the cross-reference table (Yageo, Vishay, KOA). We can also suggest products with a proven track record for automotive applications (AEC-Q100 compliant), so please feel free to consult us about arranging evaluation samples.
