#digikey — Public Fediverse posts

@relistan On two occasions #Digikey sent completely wrong parts, values that weren't even similar. But I've order nearly every week for decades, so their rate of errors is low.
Since the pandemic their rate of shipping the same days has gotten a little worse.

@relistan I wonder if you told someone at #Yageo if they would ask #Digikey to stop doing this.

I suppose it was inevitable, but it's a sad day for #retrocomputing projects needing 5V parallel flash memory in DIP packages.

#DigiKey indicates EOL for these #Microchip parts, with lifetime buy date of 2026-07-01:

SST39SF010A-70-4C-PHE (1 Mibit, 128 Kibyte)
SST39SF020-70-4C-PHE (2 Mibit, 256 Kibyte) SST39SF040-70-4C-PHE (4 Mibit, 512 Kibyte)

I haven't checked whether the 3.3V or non-DIP package variants are also EOL.

With Part-DB 2.8 you can now create parts directly from barcodes.
If you order parts from #digikey, #mouser, #lcsc or Amazon, and they don't exist in your database yet, you can just scan the distributor barcode, and Part-DB will fetch all relevant Infos like descriptions, parameters, data sheets, prices, etc. from the distributor, and offer to create a new part based on that.

Guía para construir un Amiga 4000T desde cero

John “Chucky” Hertell ha publicado la primera y segunda parte de una guía técnica para construir un Amiga 4000T desde cero, con enfoque totalmente práctico y avisando que no dará soporte a quienes se desvíen del montaje indicado.

La primera parte recomienda empezar por las daughterboards: placa de conectores y Drive I/O (terminación SCSI, disquetera, lógica 74LS) y la placa de Audio/Video (chips de señal como el CXA1263AM y jumpers para audio de CD). Se destaca un punto crítico: los conectores DSUB requieren modificar sus laterales para encajar. También se detalla el cableado, con dos ribbon cables de 40 pines de longitudes exactas: 20 cm (SHORT) y 25 cm (LONG), conectados según etiquetas para evitar daños en chips como Paula o las CIAs.

La segunda parte entra en la motherboard, donde la alimentación con fuente AT exige seguir la regla de “cable negro al centro” para no quemar la placa. Hertell remarca la soldadura de zócalos PLCC como principal fuente de fallos y propone avances por hitos: comprobar sincronismo tras montar chips como LISA/ALICE/FAT GARY, ajustar el jumper del reloj CPU (INT/EXT según CPU/aceleradora) y usar DiagROM para pruebas iniciales. Finalmente se cubren memoria (hasta 16 MB de Fastmem en placa), recomendaciones de terminación SCSI y detalles de Kickstart 40.70.

@azonenberg

I'm still trying to get an explanation from Digi-Key for an order I placed in November.

Though I paid for expedited shipping, they sat on it for about a week before shipping.

Yesterday I got email from them, but it included only an attachment that added to the mystery.

Was bestell' ich denn bei #Digikey mit, um die Versandkosten zu sparen? Interessante Komponenten, Sensoren, Displays willkommen. Demo-Boards auch gut.

Looks like #digikey has a new way to #DigiWish this year

https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/social/digi-wish

I can safely say that it's been a while since #DigiKey sold #resistors in pre-packed bags of 5 with included card labels. As their own brand. Made in Taiwan.

Or called themselves "Digi-Key Corporation".

More seriously, I found a bag of #components left over from my senior year of school, when we did our big final project. Mine was a computer-controlled slot machine. Components were seriously expensive then; I organized a group buy with 4 or 5 of my classmates through "Digi-Key", partly because they were cheaper than the local suppliers (see previous story about the "Two Weeks Ten Bucks" guys), but also because we could get quantity price breaks on stuff that was common between our #projects, like the 1 kΩ resistors. IIRC, the resistors cost about $0.30 each in the 5-packs, but the bag of 200 was *way* cheaper - about half that, I think.

These were ordered in 1997, so almost 30 years ago. In addition to #vintage resistors, I found ZTX549 PNP #transistors (still in stock at DigiKey today!), MJE2955T #PNP transistors (also still in stock!), 3 different brands of 741 #opamps, including made-in-Japan and made-in-Malaysia #NEC, TI ones from Taiwan and the Philippines, as well as #TI TL081CP and LM318P from Taiwan. Also a bunch of 74-series logic #chips and some weirder stuff, like a #Motorola MC14412, which is essentially a 0-600 bps (~baud) modem-in-a-chip.

So if you need some vintage components, hit me up 😉

Bunun en az 8GB RAM'li bir versiyonunu istiyorum.

Günümüz koşullarında benim alt limitim 4 değil 8GB RAM!

Raspberry Pi 5'imin 8GB RAM'i var ve YouTube videolarını 1080p'de "ancak iyi oynatabiliyor"!

8GB RAM'li sürümü sanırım seneye çıkar, ama 50$ pahalı gibi!

Why does Digikey keep sending me interocitor parts that I didn't order?

Вы тоже заказываете платы, компоненты и всячину здесь?

Что такое коллективный экспресс (7$/кг) и как его использовать? Почему с 45$/кг бывает дешевле, чем с 23$/кг? Как заказать компоненты/всячину с сайтов JLC (jlcfa, lcsc, jlcpcb, …)? С 1688, Тао бао и других китайских площадок? Привезти из Европы, США (Маузера, Диджикея и т. д.)?

who else is at #Automate2025 #Detroit this week? found #Arduino and #DigiKey so far; who else do I need to check out? 🦾🤖✨

@azonenberg I buy 6 figures from #DigiKey annually. Not a fan of the QFN but we use them. Recently made a commitment to Renesas parts that are QFN. We design and load our own boards. Not doing BGA.

That said I really miss the yellow TI logic datasheet books from the 70s. Those were like the Sears catalog for me back in the day. Must be a collectors thing now. Would love to have those on my bookshelf. Daydreaming...

Need to do a lot more of that these days, eh?

If you have ever dabbled in electronics, you probably have heard of the massive parts seller, Digikey. Now they're an example of how Trump's tariffs endanger American companies and American jobs.

Yes, you take your chances - there's the occasional outright scam, or so-so quality parts (like the ones that inspired me to write this), but you go into it with your eyes open. You take a chance because it's dirt cheap.

And 90% of the time, the parts are just fine.

For anything important, or safety-related, or mains-connected, or anything I build for other than personal use, I won't use yum-cha parts like this. For those, I order good name-brand parts from a reputable supplier (Newark/Element14/RS, DigiKey, etc).

But for hobbyists just having fun, messing around? AliExpress and friends are an absolute godsend. You can now get into hobby electronics for practically nothing, and build stuff and see if you like it.

There's a place for quality parts, and a place for cheap parts. Knowing which is which isn't hard.

Three cheers for cheap components!

when designing electronics usually you have a huge choice of what component to choose. see the example URL with 25k models of "switching voltage regulators", then you limit down by your electronic parameters, then by your mechanical parameters (size) and finally maybe by price.
since the recent weeks I also start to filter by company/manufacturer, and I start researching whether a company is american or not, and I learn a lot.
I am certain I am not the only one trying to boycott US products, but it would be interesting to see the real numbers from #mouser , #digikey and others. they have the numbers from the search queries.
oh, and they're US-based.

My #DigiKey #experience:

https://mawoka.eu/blog/digikey-experience

#blog #review #electronics #shopping

Supposedly, they have been having problems with prepaid orders for months now and process them manually. But they don't have the needed capacity to process all orders. So I now wait until they have enough capacity. The rep couldn't tell me when that'll be. Why didn't they tell me on the ordering page: "We're experiencing problems, bank transfer may take way longer than you'd expect".

Thanks #DigiKey, this lack of communication didn't make it better at all.

#electronics

#DigiKey has lost me as a customer today. I've ordered twice and both times, I paid in front with a realtime bank transaction. And both times I had to contact the customer support twice. At least. And it took over a week between them receiving the money and them acknowledging that they've received the money. And there were 1.5 months between these orders. This can't be as I cannot trust Digikey anymore which is really unfortunate. Let's see what they'll do with my second order.

@cd0 Wow. What a horrible approach of #Digikey. If I have a #proxy, does that solve the problem ? Can I then leave all their tracker crap on and not care less? Or do I need a "quarantined" web session that I then toast? Or use #tails ? Or have I not understood? Why is this so hard? It is like when u go to a shop for cheese they say "No cheese unless you tell me the contents of your fridge and pantry". #adblockers #trackers

#digikey is a superb supplier of #electronics parts but it does not like my #protonvpn #adblocker I think a site should never have the right to do this. I do not mind adverts as such, but the tech they want to apply on the site is vastly more than mere "adverts". #Enshitification So do I need a proxy fall-back for when #vpn is off ?

@poleguy thanks to the amazing people at #digikey we now know it’s NCP6324, NCV6324, NCV6324BMTAATBG.
