You could always get hold of Digikey by phone and ask - I did this for a = number of 16HV540 JWs - the minimum was something like 100 peices but I = was able to order 3 of them.=20 They may be dated parts but they will tell you on the phone if that is the = case. >>> chris@MAIL2ASI.COM 03/14/02 10:03AM >>> Please: Does anyone know of a US distributor that might stock 18C442's? I want QFP's, and Digi-Key has a 160 pc. minimum (they don't stock 'em). = I'd like to order only 25 or 50 at a time. PLCC's plus the carrier runs the parts cost and board space up too much, = and I'm trying to do away with unneeded holes....Where else can I get these?
