Crownhill's prices are not bad if you want to buy small quantities. If you have a larger requirement then negotiate a better price.

You can always go to www.buy.microchip.com but by the time you factor-in the carriage, you'll probably find that Crownhill is still better on smalls.

Remember that your support of Crownhill also keeps this forum open - there may be cheaper vendors but what do they do to support you? This forum only exists because of their generosity.
