Mouser sometimes charges less for small qty items, but then _sometimes_ doesnt give as big of a discount for large qty. Several items I have seen have been more expensive for larger qty at Mouser than DigiKey. I shop from both, mainly because sometimes Mouser has items that DigiKey doesnt have. I got my experimenting stock of 7400 and 4000 series stuff from mouser because I only needed a few of each, but always get PICs from DigiKey in 25 or more qty (thats easier when dealing with cheap 12f629 & 16f630) I have had excelent service from both companies. I like Mouser's project manager and it never lost a shopping cart, but forget trying to search for anything, you gota know the part number. On a side note, I recently ordered 200 resistors from mouser, and they sent 2000! :-) - Ben __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
