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] |

It’s other distributors that you will have problems with. |

--- Quote ---•Customers who prefer to purchase TI products online for immediate shipment may continue to do so through the TI store, or through DigiKey or Mouser --- End quote --- 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. |
