Top 10 Components That Will Be Impossible to Find in 2026 (Unless You Plan Now)
Share
Why This List Matters
The global supply chain remains fragile. With shifting tariffs, geopolitical instability, and ongoing end-of-life (EOL) notices from major manufacturers, the availability of legacy IGBT and power modules is shrinking fast.
At ATI (Accurate Technology Inc.), we help engineers, buyers, and MRO teams stay ahead by tracking which components are disappearing—and what can be done to secure them before they vanish.
If your operations depend on any of the following, now is the time to act.
Top 10 Hard-to-Find Components by 2026
⚠️ 1. Infineon FS75R12KE3
Once a staple in industrial motor drives, this IGBT module is nearing full global depletion. Major industrial automation players are already scrambling for replacements.
⚠️ 2. Powerex CM100DY-24H
Widely used in older CNC and HVAC systems, this dual IGBT module has quietly slipped into obsolescence—and inventories are vanishing.
⚠️ 3. Eupec BSM100GB60DLC
As EU production constraints continue and tariff tensions rise, this once-common module is becoming increasingly rare in the aftermarket.
⚠️ 4. Toshiba MG150Q2YS40
A favorite in legacy UPS and solar inverter systems, this power module is no longer in production, with remaining stock often hoarded or price-gouged.
⚠️ 5. IXYS VUO62-16NO7
With limited wafer starts and no new production runs planned, this diode bridge is entering the scarcity phase fast.
⚠️ 6. Semikron SKM75GB12T4
Discontinued with no direct drop-in replacement—any remaining stock is already being bought up for long-term reserves.
⚠️ 7. Mitsubishi QM100DY-H
Once found in older robotics and heavy machinery, this module is fully discontinued. No modern equivalents offer a direct swap.
⚠️ 8. Infineon TT162N16KOF
A legacy thyristor module commonly used in industrial rectifiers and soft starters, now discontinued and difficult to source. Its high voltage handling and robust design make it irreplaceable in many older power control systems.
⚠️ 9.Mitsubishi CM200DY-12NF
Widely used in industrial drives and legacy power inverters, this dual IGBT module is now officially discontinued. With no direct replacement and rising global demand, remaining inventory is rapidly drying up.
⚠️ 10. Semikron SKKD100/16
Historically used in rectifier circuits and elevator systems, this part has seen lead times stretch beyond 60 weeks with no recovery in sight.
What This Means for You
Whether you're supporting legacy infrastructure, managing maintenance schedules, or building out inventory buffers, the cost of inaction can be steep:
- Costly unplanned redesigns
- Downtime due to sourcing delays
- 5–10x price increases from grey market sellers
What You Can Do Now
At ATI, we specialize in sourcing, stocking, and supporting end-of-life (EOL) components across industrial, power, and automation sectors. We monitor global stock levels daily and work with trusted suppliers to secure inventory before shortages hit the mainstream.
If you rely on any of these components—or have legacy systems built around them—now’s the time to plan. Whether you want to:
- Build a strategic reserve
- Set up a predictive replacement plan
- Redesign with compatible alternatives
- Locate authentic legacy components
- Suggest form-fit-function alternates
- Create sourcing forecasts to reduce downtime
- Avoid tariffs via domestic inventory
We’re here to help.
As always, ATI offers:
- Extensive inventory including over 5,000 unique part numbers
- Same day shipping, next day delivery
- Personalized customer service
- Discount pricing on bulk orders
- 1-year warranty on all parts
- USA stock in Palmetto, FL
Let us help you get ahead of the curve before 2026 makes these parts truly disappear.
