    Searching Digi-key - "How To" Pictorial

    I've seen this come up now and then [how to search Digi-key] and so I figured a guide might help the newbies some.

    If you are looking for Low ESR caps at Digi-key this will quickly filter out 95% of the caps you DON'T want to look at without losing any that you DO want to look at.

    That's a quick path to what you'll -usually- be needing from Digi-key within the context of things pertinent to BCN topics.

    Once you are used to Digi-key's site you'll be able find anything you want.

    A little on the ordering process.
    - The process in kind'a goofy and goes in circles but it gets it done eventually.
    ..............
    It uses 3 pages.
    - Add a part via Part's description Page. [Catalog Page.]
    - Overall Order Summary Screen.
    - Item Index Page [There is one for each part in the Order.]
    ~~~~~~~~~
    To edit the quantity or remove a part you go to the "Index" Number in the Order Summary Screen and click on it.
    That brings up a screen just for that part in the Order.
    This is where you edit the item, then go back to the Order Summary and verify it did the edit.

    .
    Part Index Page [Where to change or remove an item in the order.]

          I know Digikey has to be the most cumbersome ordering system I've ever used.

          They are my go to source when it's time to restock up on Panasonic FCs though so I'm stuck with them.
