So, if I'm on Digikey or Mouser, searching by parameters for an opamp or something, no TI options will come up and be available? What an interesting business decision  :palm:
[Edit: No, these two will still carry TI]

I think you misunderstood, digikey and mouser will be the same as they always were. It’s other distributors that you will have problems with.

I have really positive experience dealing with TI directly, there a lot of improvements done since they introduced their store.
Actually, TI was one of the first who allows to use PayPal.

The prices usually better than DigiKey/Mouser, especially in 1000+ qty you very likely will pay 15-25% less.

The support is based in Germany and quite responsive, and shipping from US (into EU) goes through NL, so less admin paperwork.

Unfortunately, USD currency only.


P.S.
I wish Maxim Integrated :rant: learn from TI!

Like others have said about TI online sales and Digi-Key.

I needed some TI parts that was going to put on a Digi-Key order. None in stock. Ok, TI online had some so I put my Digi-Key order in, put my TI order in and went on with my life.

Noticed a few days later that both parcels were coming from Thief River Falls. Coincidence, I think not.

Ti parts had the same bags, same labels (with some Digi-Key things missing). Quite the pissoff that I had to pay shipping on the TI parts that clearly came from the Digi-Key warehouse the same day that my Digi-Key order with free shipping left.

There must be some under the table stuff going between Ti and Digi-Key.
