| | Passive component demand increasing - 2/1/1999 - Control Engineering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Meanwhile, the report says shipments of passive components will increase slightly slower than demand, exceeding $15 billion by 2002. |
 | | The report adds that, while most passive electronic components are in mature markets, those with above-average growth prospects include fiber-optic connectors, multilayer ceramic capacitors, radio (RF) and higher frequency inductance devices, ferrite microwave components, and surface-mounted resistors and resistor networks. |
 | | Likewise, increasingly prevalent integrated passive components (IPCs), which include different passive component features (and sometimes active devices) in a single package, will continue healthy growth, though some may come at the expense of discrete passive devices. |
