consider LCSC when purchasing electronic components

[Blaise J Thompson]

All,

You may have noticed many electronics vendors are struggling to retain stock of common items. Consider LCSC [1]---now available in Aestiva. LCSC seems to have a much deeper inventory and their prices are much better, especially for low quantities. For example, my favorite small transistor for switching applications:

Mouser: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/onsemi-Fairchild/2N7002K?qs=iS%252BvaFGfLorx0keKeEIrfg%3D%3D

TTI: https://www.tti.com/content/ttiinc/en/apps/part-detail.html?mfrShortname=SLN&partsNumber=2N7002K-T1-GE3
LCSC: https://www.lcsc.com/product-detail/MOSFETs_Diodes-Incorporated-2N7002K-7_C85047.html

The downside is you have to wait a few weeks to get your parts. Shipping and handling comes out to ~$10.

Best,
Blaise
