Diode: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.019 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.01 at volume, on a typical 28-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.019 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.017 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.012 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.011 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.01 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.01 |
What moves the price
For diode, the drivers are material, thickness, finish, hole pattern, load rating, tray compatibility, microvia count, laser drill size — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published distributor pricing for commodity SMD diodes shows steep volume breaks around 3,000 to 120,000 units, with example units at $0.0129 at 3,000 and $0.0118 at 120,000 from Future Electronics. Marketplace wholesale listings and supplier directories also show very low landed-equivalent pricing for generic diodes at 5,000+ pieces, but those prices vary heavily by package, voltage/current rating, and whether the part is branded, automotive-grade, or a simple signal diode. Realistic supplier routes are major franchised distributors for standard catalog parts and China export/trade suppliers for lowest-cost bulk, with custom-specific features like packaging or tray/reel compatibility increasing cost more than the bare semiconductor die itself.
