    I’m having trouble getting bare circuit boards made, which is about to leave a monster gaping hole in my inventory.

    At “work work” we are starting to see some huge issues with part sourcing all across the spectrum on electronics components

    Quoted from jj44114:

    It’s Chinese New Year season. Most everything is closed for a few weeks around this time.

    In this case, that's not it. Most of our suppliers shut down on Jan 14th/15th and were scheduled to reopen by Feb 1st. But a lot of vendors are telling us they are at under 50% staffing, due to quarantines of employees, or are not permitted to reopen. The ones that are open are having mandatory shutdowns once a week for health screenings. A lot of emails from home saying they can't give us any updates on shipments or production, because they aren't allowed to go to work. An occasional dribble of things are coming through to us but not very much, and transit times are going bonkers too.

    None of this is coming to me via the news, it's all coming direct from companies that we deal with, straight from the employees themselves. Companies that have manufacture facilities in other countries too are shifting everything they can away from Chinese facilities, but there isn't much electronics capacity left outside China because they already did that as much as possible due to the tariff situation.
