For those who don't know :-) Maxim have a small order system which allows you to buy direct from them off the web. Prices are available in 1 / 25 / 100 quantity in a 480K PDF Prices seem dearish (ie cheaper than Farnell but still > 50% of Farnell in most cases). BUT if they send these as fast as they send samples then the service is excellent (YMMV :-)) https://www.maxim-ic.com/ I don't sell Maxim parts or have any financial interest in Maxim. I just happily use their products. Russell McMahon ===========================
