Hello Herbert,

I imagined I wouldn't be the only one. ;P

Great :)

Farnell and RS-Components are "electronic components shops" just like
Digikey, but are my only valid options since I live in Italy.

Unfortunately it's unavailable both in Farnell and RS-Components. :(

Thanks. Based on your recommendations, and for the benefit of others in
my same shoes, here's the result of my research:
