I’ve been using digikey for quite a while, mainly because of three factors:
- They have “everything”, meaning whenever I have a project, they probably have the transistor, connector, and Adafruit board I need.
- Fast and cheap shipping, and free over a certain order size.
- VOEC compliant
…but I’m trying to move away from US companies where possible due to *gestures broadly*, so are there any good European alternatives?
