digikey

Digi-Key Corporation got its start in 1972 when Dr. Ron Stordahl, a young electrical engineer working toward his doctoral degree, had the idea to package electronic parts in small quantities and market them to fellow electronics enthusiasts. With a modest inventory, Stordahl's marketing plan comprised advertising Digi-Key's one-page, typewritten and mimeographed "catalog" in publications geared toward hobbyists. A simple business principle was the foundation of his fledgling business – to provide customers the best possible service.Today, Digi-Key is one of the fastest growing distributors of electronic components in the world. We continue to operate on the premise of providing our customers – you – with superior service, focusing on the key areas of product selection, product availability, on-time delivery, and responsiveness.
