DigiKey is getting worse

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.

Then why did you bother to respond? Unemployed with nothing better to do?

Perfectly reasonable response to the thread. Should the thread have been made?

Frankly you spent way more time dealing with this non issue than just not bother at all and find the datasheet elsewhere in a few seconds. Datasheet on distributors' website is a little convenience thing and not something major. Not to say the problem actually non existent for this particular part. It's not Digikey's or Panasonic's problem you may have some peculiar configuration in your browser which breaks the thing. Nor they can know what is the issue with your computer to fix that. You mentioning registration on Panasonic website sounds really strange since it's not asked to begin with. Neither you seem to be actually bothered with waste of your time.

I got the datasheet off Mouser within minutes. Should have said that, but the malcontents here probably wouldn't have read it anyway.
Yes, DigiKey is broken. I ended up buying from DigiKey rather than Mouser as it was out of stock at Mouser.
If you want to discuss "non-issue" responses, Siwastaja, wraper, and abquke should look in a mirror. If you don't think my complaint about DigiKey going back at least to April is valid, then present your own positive experiences and counter with fact, not ad hominem attacks.

I've made a few dozen orders through Digikey so far this year through work and haven't really had a problem. Mouser is my backup choice, mostly just because I'm used to finding things on Digikey a little faster.
I was searching for a particular card connector that was out of stock on Digikey and managed to find it in stock on Mouser... though I suspect because it was miscategorized.
Like I said above, I'm glad Digikey put in an option to show only results that have CAD/EDA models so that I can go immediately to SnapEDA or Ultralibrarian to get symbols and footprints for Kicad
