Utilization rates for most manufacturers remain between 60% and 80%, depending on location, with Taiwanese and Chinese operations at the lower end of the range. High-temperature and high-capacitance parts are constrained, and there is little to no ability to expedite orders. Automotive-grade and general-purpose large case size and high-voltage capacitors also present supply problems. #### Written by [Supplyframe](https://pages.supplyframe.com/ciq/author/supplyframe) supplyframe --- - [**Recent**](https://pages.supplyframe.com/ciq/the-duality-of-ceramic-capacitor-lead-times#tab-1) # About Us Use this little footer to reinforce your message about who you are and why people love working with you.
