Same numbers as the chart, straight from BLS. Dates are the first of each period, the way BLS reports them.
Capacitors and coils rose 7.5% over the last 12 months, but 2 of its main inputs rose faster: copper wire and cable +30.8%, aluminum mill shapes +25.2%. That cost pressure may still pass through to prices.

A starting point citing this series by name and code. Replace the bracketed terms with your contract's actual scope before use.
The [affected portion] of the Contract Price shall be adjusted using US PPI — Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing (BLS series PCU33441K33441K), published by BLS. Base Period: the index value published for September 2026 (or the month of contract signing, if different) is the Base Value. Adjustment: at each Adjustment Date, the Current Value is the most recently published three-month average of the index (the Averaging Window). The Escalation Factor equals Current Value divided by Base Value. Cap: the Escalation Factor applied under this clause shall not exceed 1.10 or fall below 0.90 (a 10% cap and floor) in any single Adjustment Date, regardless of the index's actual movement. [Replace bracketed terms with your contract's actual affected-portion definition and adjustment-date schedule before use. This is a drafting starting point, not legal advice.]
The standard index for passive components, bundled into one series since none of the individual component types trades a large enough category for its own separate line.
Split chips from the equipment that makes them. Chip prices index to BLS PCU334413334413, which has trended down over the last decade. Fab equipment indexes to PCU333242333242, which has trended up. A shared index will misprice one side.
Escalake tracks US PPI — Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing, applies your formula, and gives both sides a number they can confirm, no spreadsheet required.
