Kyocera ST3215, ST2012 and ST1610 EOL
On September 5th 2019 Kyocera Corporation announced that due to strategic restructuring of their business due to falling smartphone market demand they will be terminating their kHz crystal operations. As a renowned supplier of passive components including frequency components, by taking this decision to terminate watch crystal production KYOCERA Corporation will inevitably be impacting many of their customers.
