ARLINGTON, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Electronic component orders flattened in March following ups and
downs over the past five months. The 12-month average also remained
relatively flat, according to the monthly index compiled by the
Electronic Components Association (ECA).

   "Component orders during the first quarter reflected the cautious
approach being applied across many segments of the industry," says Bob
Willis, ECA president. "The March order report indicates what might be
a 'wait and see' attitude as companies consider what is in store for
the coming months."
