All:

Just got an e-mail from Mouser that some parts I had ordered in the past were about to be discontinued (as obsolete) by the manufacturer.

Few suppliers bother with this level of service.

I've gotten that from Digikey as well. I guess they don't know if
you're planning on using them in production, or maybe it's a nice way of
just keeping in contact with customers.

did they give you a subsitute part # ?

As it happened, three options. At/below the same price as well.

My experience is the same with Mouser. I use them at my work when I need something fast. Orders placed during the weekday always come in the next weekday morning when I use UPS Ground shipping. This is remarkable to me, and extremely useful. I live in Central Texas. Orders might take longer in other areas.

I often look for discontinued parts, such as electrolytic capacitors that are being discontinued. The price is usually reduced a lot.
