Component manufacturers
Ben sage:
Hey guys I was wondering if there is still American made components like resisters capacitors etc. thanks guys
tooki:
I’m sure lots of high end mil-spec ones are made in USA. I think Vishay still makes lots of stuff domestically.
andy3055:
Very unlikely. Most companies manufacture various parts in various countries including the U.S. It is a mixed bag so to speak. Take Vishay for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishay_Intertechnology
It is all a matter of economics and business sense (one of the reasons why countries like China has got a lot of the technology developed by US, UK and other pioneering industrialized countries).
Having said that, some of the US government contracts may be filled with US made stuff like Ben has mentioned above.
wraper:
There are. But I wouldn't say that general purpose stuff has some exceptional quality compared to decent parts produced elsewhere.
grifftech:
Samsung has a fab in Austin
