January 23, 2026 /SemiMedia/ — According to supply chain sources, passive component maker Walsin Technology Corp has recently sent price increase notices to customers, informing them that selling prices for part of its resistor portfolio will be raised starting Feb. 1, 2026.

The company said rising expenses for labour, electricity and key metals such as silver, palladium, nickel, tin and copper have continued to put pressure on production costs across the passive components supply chain. While Walsin has absorbed part of the impact in recent years through internal cost controls and operational improvements, it said cumulative cost pressures have intensified as end-market demand gradually recovers.

According to the company, the price adjustments will apply to resistors ranging from 0201 to 1206 sizes, with the extent of the increase varying by product specification, model and application.

Walsin said the adjustment was a necessary step to ensure stable supply and maintain product quality, adding that it remains committed to long-term partnerships with customers amid ongoing changes in the electronics and semiconductor supply chain.
