According to the findings, 68% of the components originate from the United States, while 16.2% come from Japan. Parts manufactured in Germany, Taiwan, and South Korea were also detected.
Identified manufacturers include Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Intel, Murata, Maxim, Onsemi, Vicor, and other leading global companies.
