Definitely going to have to explore a bit more too - I would like to build some of my own #breadboard modules for use with this.

(I miss #RadioShack but at least I've got #digikey & #mouser - just wish they had a local #wholesale storefront lol. That would be a sight.)

@relistan On two occasions #Digikey sent completely wrong parts, values that weren't even similar. But I've order nearly every week for decades, so their rate of errors is low.
Since the pandemic their rate of shipping the same days has gotten a little worse.

@relistan I wonder if you told someone at #Yageo if they would ask #Digikey to stop doing this.

I suppose it was inevitable, but it's a sad day for #retrocomputing projects needing 5V parallel flash memory in DIP packages.

#DigiKey indicates EOL for these #Microchip parts, with lifetime buy date of 2026-07-01:

SST39SF010A-70-4C-PHE (1 Mibit, 128 Kibyte)
SST39SF020-70-4C-PHE (2 Mibit, 256 Kibyte) SST39SF040-70-4C-PHE (4 Mibit, 512 Kibyte)

I haven't checked whether the 3.3V or non-DIP package variants are also EOL.

Part-DB Mar 2

With Part-DB 2.8 you can now create parts directly from barcodes.
If you order parts from #digikey, #mouser, #lcsc or Amazon, and they don't exist in your database yet, you can just scan the distributor barcode, and Part-DB will fetch all relevant Infos like descriptions, parameters, data sheets, prices, etc. from the distributor, and offer to create a new part based on that.

what is going wrong at #digikey?
Got the second order with "unexpected processing delay". Last one took four days...

Hmhm… Mails von der Domain digikeyinfo.com an Adressen, die beim "echten" #digikey hinterlegt sind. Kein direktes Impressum, domain anonym registriert, Seite in der Microsoft-Cloud statt dem Digikey-AS. Entweder hatte da irgendwer viel Lack und denkt das wäre eine gute Kommunikationsinfra, oder da gab es ein Datenleck und jemand phished rum.

#digikey now has their own house brand, "Digikey Standard". Smells a lot like [...]mazon Basic and I don't think I approve.

Edit: I have no idea how old it is, I only just noticed it because there was an ad on hackaday.

I'm still trying to get an explanation from Digi-Key for an order I placed in November.

Though I paid for expedited shipping, they sat on it for about a week before shipping.

Yesterday I got email from them, but it included only an attachment that added to the mystery.
