As a matter of fact Mouser is not _THAT_ bad. It is almost on par with Arrow/Avnet/etc. Sometimes even cheaper. And in most cases their markup is less than 100%. That is another twin, DigiKey, that has everything marked up to the ears. I never understood why people do purchase anything from them... And BTW, they (Mouser) sometimes have very interesting parts, e.g. Toshiba 2SK369GR JFETs that I bought their entire stock (of 400 :)) a week ago. --- ****************************************************************** * KSI(a)home KOI8 Net < > The impossible we do immediately. * * Las Vegas NV, USA < > Miracles require 24-hour notice. * ******************************************************************

In the People Also Bought section, I saw exclusively parts from my project list. Exactly the same thing happened to me with Farnell once. I think the reason was that my second order (a few weeks later) contained somewhat similar combination of items that the web server heuristics associated it with my earlier order. Felt a bit creepy, though... Regards, Mikko

Actually, now no one does, because Digikey isn't even buying them anymore. Tim -- Deep Friar: a very philosophical monk. Website: http://webpages.charter.net/dawill/tmoranwms

Everything else just tack on to the order. Mouser is sometimes cheaper on passives and other stuffs, but I am not creating another order just for that. Production parts (R and C reels) come directly from China. |
