Hi All,

Just wondering what your favourite component search engines are (the type
that search the inventories or all the main component suppliers, and
provides a list of stock and pricing)?

I have used PartMiner before, but I believe there are other free types out
there. Which ones do you use?

Thanks!
Mark.

Digikey. If they don't have it in stock I'm very reluctant to use it,
particularly this year. My normal suppliers had better have some
pretty good assurances of supply if it's not an in-stock item.

Thnaks. I already search Digikey, Farnell (Newark in the US), RS and Mouser
to get some idea of availablity. Rich has pointed out a couple of search
engines that act as front-ends to these type of suppliers.
