Octopart is a more generic site for discovering chips and getting an idea of the price, but still it fetches crappy prices from Digikey, Farnell, Mouser, etc.
If your product is being made in China and you are making the design choices, a quick Taobao search (or using the above links) is great to see how popular a part is. Not recommending to buy parts from Taobao though (unless you are more seasoned). There are also alot of agents that can source parts maybe 1-2 levels below the original factory. Their prices are so good it's unbelievable but they are hard to find and validate. Having volume also helps.
- SuperPaintMan 8y agoSeconding LCSC here, their prices are pretty damn good for chinese market stuff (and for international musthaves they carry pretty good stock), english support is decent and the shipping combo with PCBs from JLCPCB makes it a nobrainer. I use them for my keyboards[0] and love them! [0] https://www.gboards.ca/ https://www.gboards.ca/
- hyc_symas 8y agoHey, do you have any advice on how to find the part number for a component? I'm trying to source the proprietary connector Dell uses in their laptop SATA cable 080RK8 e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Dell-Latitude-Interposer-Connector/dp/B07BMD1RTC https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Dell-Latitude-Interposer-Conn... The cable itself is easily purchased anywhere, there are countless vendors on AliExpress. But I want the connector so I can get something else custom built.
