Qorvo, Rochester Team for Long-Term RF Component Supply

Rochester Electronics and Qorvo have completed a worldwide distribution agreement to ensure long-term availability of Qorvo’s RF and power semiconductor solutions, addressing supply chain concerns for OEMs and PCB designers requiring legacy and high-performance components.

The collaboration expands access to Qorvo’s portfolio of RF and power devices, which are critical in applications like 5G, aerospace, and industrial IoT. By leveraging Rochester’s authorized stocking and manufacturing capabilities, customers gain continuity for components that may otherwise face obsolescence. This is particularly valuable for PCB/PCBA buyers designing with multilayer, HDI, or Rogers PCBs that rely on stable RF performance.

Long-term supply agreements like this are increasingly vital as semiconductor lead times remain unpredictable. For engineers specifying RF components on rigid-flex, ceramic, or IMS PCBs, the partnership reduces redesign risks and extends product lifecycles. Rochester’s ability to provide full lifecycle management ensures that even mature Qorvo parts remain available, supporting maintenance and legacy system upgrades.

For manufacturers like LT CIRCUIT, which produce high-performance PCB boards such as HDI, multilayer, and Rogers PCBs, reliable access to RF components is essential. This agreement helps ensure stable supply for complex RF designs, from IC substrates to heavy copper PCBs.
