Hi,
Anybody here used
http://www.chip1stop.com/ ?
It's a Japanese International online distributor of electronics. It would be good to use a Japanese online shop for me but I guess it will not be this one...
First impression are:
+ Many parts in database
- Expensive (even by Japanese standards. Examples: Fluke 87V $660, or you can rent one from them for $68/month... LM311P $2.5, digikey $0.53. MatrixOrbital LCD 20x4 LK204-25 $129, digikey $74.65)
- Have to be a member to browse for datasheet (it's free but disturbing I think)
- Many items have Japanese description, not very international
- The help feature (by clicking on [?]) many times return error
- Parametric search is a mess due to badly maintained database. (For instance try looking at character LCD displays.. I don't know when 8MHz became a font color!? Or how many characters is 1.2mcd?)
Anyway I'll try it some more.
