Where to buy

Hey all, im having trouble trying to purchase some microchips online...

... the main issue is it takes too long to get something from Thailand like a week to import then a week to deliver is too long...


... anyone know of a online store that is reliable and has pics in stock?

The most important pic is the PIC18F1320.. Bill you got in stock that you can sell to me?

And basically other pics in the 18F family... are important

Have you ever ordered something from thailand? I can get pics from thailand in about 3-5 days.

Newark, Mouser, and DigiKey should all get you the chip in a week or less. As a rule Newark has the best prices on PICs.

Digikey is very fast & cheap, Just make sure you order the minimum and you get free shipping.

Digikey is my primary source for most parts. Digikey single quantities are a ripp off. Thank goodness I buy no less than 25. Same for Mouser. The lowest price for a single quantity is direct from Microchip. Yet this is offset by a higher shipping price. I prefer a distributor by the fact that I can buy various items from one location and pay one low cost shipping as opposed to paying various shipping fees from various stores.

Yes, shipping is the governing property of my parts ordering, item quality second, item price third.

Newark was the winner today... for the following reasons..
