Continental Device India (CDIL) is a semiconductor manufacturer that offers a full range of discrete devices – transistors, diodes, rectifiers, triacs, SCRs, voltage regulators and TVS devices - in surface mount and leaded packages. CDIL is also able to produce automotive-grade silicon carbide devices.

According to Michael Knight, Sales Director at AA Manufacturing, “We are taking a very different approach to the supply of PCBAs. Whereas traditional CEMs are at the mercy of a volatile supply chain that too often experiences shortages and price hikes, at Alan Anderson we ensure supply by forging partnerships with our suppliers.

“All components are critical to complete a successful PCBA, not just the expensive microprocessor or FPGA. When we get a BOM from a customer, we can work through that with them, providing alternative solutions from suppliers such as CDIL, which focus entirely on the standard, low-margin parts that leading brand names de-prioritise when capacity becomes limited.”

CDIL is an ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and ISO 14001 certified company. With the global surge in electric vehicles (EVs), power management devices and solar-powered panels, CDIL identified a need for silicon carbide (SiC) products, and in 2023, it became the first Indian producer of SiC MOSFETs.
