DigiKey is getting worse
abquke:
Fortunately Digikey has added a 'media' search parameter to only show parts with datasheets and EDA/CAD models. A big improvement on the site.

Panasonic PDF links have never worked on Digikey. I remember this exact problem from at least 5 years ago!
Given that Digikey has completely broken everything beyond any salvage during last 1-2 years to the point I stopped using them unless I absolutely have to, it's quite funny you managed to find such a non-issue as an example.

1) If it works
2) Why use such a non-specific term if DigiKey means datasheets. "Media" usually is used to refer to mass communication, e.g., newspapers and online new outlets.

Because it means anything, not just datasheet which is one of the options you can select under media.

I dunno, I feel like they hit their low point during 2020 or 2021. They managed to fix some of the worst problems (entire categories showing up with blank parameters) by now. I just wish they would go back to 2017 or 2018 era.
