Basic Parts Crazy Price Increases over the last month?
I was just checking prices for PCBA on JLCPCB and noticed that the prices for passive components has gone nuts over the last 2 months. I put in a PCB order a month and half ago and my total per unit cost was like 50% more expensive so I dug in to the cause of this. I've included all the parts in the table below sorted by the price increase multiplier. The biggest increases have been from passive basic parts on JLCPCB. Is this correct or is there something funky going on? I know there's shortages on certain parts due to AI, but I didn't expect this kind of change.
