According to sources from the supply chain, this letter from Murata states that it will use more capacity for small-size packages and cutting-edge high-reliability products, this led to the E.O.L. of some products and price adjustment.
The following is the contents of the revealed letter:
In fact, Murata has already stopped production for some devices two years ago and put the focus on high-reliability products such as vehicles.
