Maxim has been one of the best suppliers throughout this shortage!  Certainly not my experience they are uncontactable either.

AndyC_772:
Agreed, I don't use many Maxim parts, but those I do have been readily available without fail over the last few years - and I can't think of anyone else I can say that about.

Looking you squarely in the eyes again, TI.

peter-h:
Maxim just upped their prices several times, so that's ok :)

I'd like to have an email address, please :) I've just checked - all means of contact removed, except website support tickets.

You go through a FAE or representative like everyone else.  We have one we've been in contact with through a main distributor.  Certainly not the most responsive company, but usually get a response back within a week or so.  The best companies to deal with so far have been MaxLinear and MPS, they turn around responses in under a day in some cases.

Email addresses have been removed from many big companies for some time due to spam. 

peter-h:
I think we have wires crossed. I have a direct account with Maxim. If you buy 10k+ you can get it.

For small volumes you can buy their parts from loads of resellers, sure, but then you aren't talking to Maxim.

Every proper distributor has email contact. That is how I do 99% of purchasing. Email their sales contact, which I have from previous contact. Maxim (Ireland) terminated those.

Buying Maxim parts via e.g. Mouser means you pay 2x more straight away. But Maxim themselves jacked up the prices ~2x when covid came and everyone went crazy hoarding chips.
