Increasingly i find "out of stock" as the status of even pretty basic components at the usual suppliers (Farnell, Mouser, Digikey etc etc) and the lead times being quoted are getting ridiculous. For example, if you want a certain brand 100nf 0603 X7R cap, you'll have to wait until December (11 months lead time)
I know that electronics makes the world go round, but wow, it's getting silly, and it's happening more and more ime. I guess it's a case of demand outstripping supply, and under those conditions, the big players get the spoils (ie if Dell or Keysight need a component, they are going to be able to jump the queue in front of us mere mortals....
Right now, i'd (practically) kill for a couple of ADuM5211 isolators, but guess what, as far as i can tell, they don't exisit.........
