content: yep every bourns part is a direct replacement fr itself, I tried other values as well. As always farnell are hopeless. I rang them and there were not that phased by it of course.The latest technical breakthrough they have is to seperately list 25ppm/C and 25ppm/K resistors, I mean fucking duh?

content: bit unsettling when I'm planing to buld parts libraries that have supplier part numbers in so that I can produce a bom to send to our buyer to just upload to their website

content: Quote from: Simon on October 15, 2015, 10:43:08 amWhy don't you get it? One part number is for full reel, other for cut tape, third for re-reel. Maybe you don't care which to get as hobbyist, but for production this is very important. Assembler will love you when you will supply loose parts for them.BTW Digikey and Mouser are exactly the same in this regard.

content: yes there are 4 packaging options, but if you look each one says that it is a replacement for farnell part........ and it gives the parts own number.....

content: oh I see, my bad,at the end of the day I wish they would not treat us like idiots. it's like when you put a part number in and 9 out of 10 numbers (manufacturers numbers) are different parts that they think are equivalent, which is my choice, considering they can't get specs in te parametric search right.

content: If they replaced the text or moved the colon it would make more sense.ie. instead of988273RL - Suggested replacement for:988273RL....move the colon to the end988273RL - Suggested replacement for 988273RL:....or remove the redundant partnumber988273RL - Suggested replacement:....But yes I was scratching my head wondering what the issue was, I thought Simon had left a little pedantic puzzle for us
