Datasheets and avoiding time wasting sites

(1/2) > >>

cdev:
Is there any one reliable site for most datasheets? I always click on the wrong links, when all I want is a quick PDF of some part's main datasheet I can copy to my tablet and be done with it.

Benta:
The only reliable sites are those from the manufacturers. What you find elsewhere is often out of date.

cdev:
That would be my first choice, assuming I can find them, or a current maker of the part, and they don't make me sign up.

soldar:
I never found a single site for all and I would not expect to. Sometimes I get lucky and find the manufacturer's right away and sometimes all I find is those datasheet crappy websites that make you waste time and feed you crap, if anything.  Often I find it helps to define the search as filetype:pdf

RoGeorge:
If you use Google, you can always specify file type pdf (file:pdf) when searching.  Example:

--- Code: ---uA741 file:pdf
--- End code ---
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=uA741+file%3Apdf

or, if you want to look only in a specific site, you can use (site:nameOfTheSite).  Example:

--- Code: ---Datasheets and avoiding time wasting site:eevblog.com
--- End code ---
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Datasheets+and+avoiding+time+wasting+site%3Aeevblog.com
