Microcontroller: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.62 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.80 at volume, on a typical 56-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 | $2.62 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $1.09 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $1.09 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.80 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.80 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.80 |
What moves the price
For microcontroller, 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.
For microcontrollers, price is driven mainly by silicon family, memory size, package, temperature grade, and whether the part is active lifecycle stock versus allocation or obsolete/remarketed stock. In practice, the most realistic wholesale routes are authorized distributors and broadline electronics suppliers for current parts, while marketplace/China wholesale listings are more useful for identifying low-end landed-equivalent price points on commodity MCUs. The published pricing in the sources is mostly for specific part numbers, so these tiers reflect a mid-range MCU band rather than a custom-to-print fabrication job.
