    I could have sworn I saw somewhere on these forums someone found a source for these chips that didn't require going through China or buying in bulk.

    But after searching I can't find that thread/post. Anyone have any luck finding these for sale anywhere?

    People will see digikey.com. But I like my opt-in you know? Go to octopart.com. type it in the search and ohhhhh my LORD! find the vendor closest to you or you prefer and boom! You question us answered my kind sir!

    If you live in the U.S if arrow.com has it the do free overnight shipping. :D I got a pt100 sensor from them for $1.32 free overnight!

    Thanks for all the tips. Unfortunately all of those sites do not have the SOP8 packages available for anything less than bulk orders in the 10,000's of pieces. I only want to buy like 10-20 lol.
