Nice find, price is good too. I don't know how long they'll have
them, but I think I'll ask my US friend who helped me get the last
lot. Thankyou.

Newark IS Farnell.

Point taken, but the price difference is large. In modest quantities that's
much less than half the cost, buying from the US, even after Paypal fees
and exchange rate conversion and postage costs.

Doesn't Newark still have something like a $200 minimum order?

I have no idea. The last personal order I made to them was in 1969.
All orders since then were handled by purchasing.

The point was that the same company owns them, and they may shit
stock from one division to another without notice. If newark gets a big
order, the Farnell stock may need to be shipped to that customer to
finish filling their order.

The H11F1 is (was) multisourced, Fairchild, Isocom, and possibly others.
I bought 20 from Digikey only a few weeks ago. Now they have none in stock

You're not the first person to mention this.

Maybe opto-fets are less in demand now. As manufacturers have moved to lead-free
lines, many expected some products to be casualties that simply weren't worth
the effort of continuing with.

The ones I bought were lead-free. Someone decided to make them.
