Presumably everyone has received notices of price increases from many manufacturers. As Q4 is the traditional peak season, every year Q4 is indispensable for the news of out of stock and materials. Buyers are asking for goods everywhere, and sellers are in a hurry. Hi-Link HLK-7688A and HLK-7621 are in short inventory, and AC-DC power modules are also in low inventory. Customers who need the above types of products, please contact Hi-Link as soon as possible to avoid affecting the use of existing products.

Due to the increase in the raw materials and production costs required for these products, the prolonged delivery period and the increased uncertainties of market demand, there has been no accurate date for the return of the products. In this wave of out-of-stock price increases, it is not only chips that are lacking, but electronic analog ICs, power management ICs, MCUs, and PCB main materials...all in the out-of-stock price increases, for application manufacturers, this wave is more than the epidemic at the beginning of the year. More stringent, as long as the goods are available, Hi-Link will contact customers as soon as possible.

HLK-7688A

HLK-7688A is Hi-Link’s main routing module. Standard storage capacity: 128MB of memory and 32MB of Flash. It can be widely used in smart devices or cloud service applications, such as smart homes, smart gateways, smart monitoring, smart printing, etc. . At present, the inventory of 7688A is about 10K, which is difficult to supply market demand. In order not to affect the production of the original HLK-7688A products, Hi-Link provides the following solutions:

①With the same main chip (MT7688AN) as HLK-7688A but different storage capacity modules, Hi-Link has a large number of stocks, which can directly replace HLK-7688A modules, such as: HLK-7688AC/AS/AF/AL, the following are several models The difference between modules:

 

②The HLK-7628N series package is fully compatible with HLK-7688A, which is a good choice in terms of replacement schemes. Compared with HLK-7688A, HLK-7628N is more cost-effective. The biggest difference between the two is that the main chip of HLK-7628N is MT7628N. The functions provided by MT7628N are roughly the same as MT7628A. The only difference is that the PCIe and IoT modes of MT7628N are mainly designed for N300 routers, which are more powerful. So friends who need HLK-7688A module urgently, HLK-7628N is the best choice.

AC-DC power supply module

For power modules, AC-DC power modules are mainly out of stock. Popular HLK-PM12, HLK-5M05/12, HLK-20M12, etc. are all out of stock. Fortunately, AC-DC power modules have been returning one after another. In the shipment, there are customers who plan to place orders for power modules in batches, please communicate with our business in advance.

 

Reasons for the shortage of AC-DC power modules

An important reason for the shortage of power modules is the shortage of raw materials for power transformers. On the one hand, my country and neighboring countries have difficulties in importing and exporting raw materials and products, which restricts the domestic supply of power transformer raw materials; on the other hand, the demand for power transformers is in short supply. Due to the characteristics of the transformer production process, the long supply cycle appears to be stretched in the face of large and urgent orders due to the characteristics of the transformer production process.

 

In such a situation where the industry is out of stock, midstream manufacturers are more anxious than downstream companies. The lack of stock of a chip or raw material is enough to quickly return a company's pillar products to zero, and it is difficult to find alternative solutions. Here, thank you all customers for choosing Hi-Link products. We will also provide you with corresponding module alternatives as soon as possible. If you have any needs, you can directly communicate with the business. Hi-Link has many products, and there are many kinds of customized solutions, there is always one that can meet your needs.
