I don't believe so.

BUT, see below - if a NZ accessible component supply octopus can
include them there must be US supply house who do too.
MOQ may be an issue, but if the pricing:performance is anything like
what I see in HK then it's well worth looking at.

I had a PCB where an unauthorised (and bizarre) change was made to a
PCB (factory no longer used :-) ) and all PCB copper heatsinking was
removed from the CETSEMI SOT23 power FET. Thin tracks were used which
had about no heat conduction capability.  Gate drive voltage was
marginal - current was moderately modest (under 500 mA) but I had
visions of disaster. The Rdson was so low that the FET never noticed
that somebody had stolen its heatsinking. Very acceptable.

The people promoting CETSEMI  here are Hagemeyer Asia Pacific, who
have Soanar as a division, some relationship of unknown to me type
with Rexel.

Soanar have about 150 brands on their line card

                    http://www.soanar.com/linecard.cfm

including eg Atmel, Microchip, NEC, Hitachi, Micrel, Seoul Semi,
Vishay, Zilog, Osram, Diodes Inc (incl Zetex),...

I don't see CETSEMI listed - but that may be via one of Hagemeyers other li=
mbs.
