From time to time I think you will see this error. A few years ago, a TI
charge pump I ordered (SOT23) didn't work. The package code didn't
match. It must be a problem with the binning of incoming stock, which is
most likely of human origin.

At least you got your moneys worth with the ferrite caps ;D

Cheers

I once ordered some green LED indicators, and received yellow instead,
but the package had the green part number. I returned the yellow
ones, pointing out that the wrong part must be in the right bin - got
more yellow ones in return. A second attempt, following a discussion
with our salesperson, finally got me the right colour.

Lately it has been getting worse.

This one was easy to spot. Now I am forced to open every package and check
what is inside. For very small ICs that have no room for part number one has
to cross reference the markings. This is a royal pita. What about unmarked
caps? Do I check them on a bridge? How about being certain of dielectric
material?

Don't i wish..need a good level sensor ("above" or "not above") for
exactly that..
