I know these can get costly but I just got a bunch of em for about .93 cents per from Newark.com
Just a heads up if your in the market, I think this is a good price!
which did you get?
Whichever that's a great price if its the correct one! I've only seen the 1044 models for $4+
I got tc1044's from mouser for just under a buck a piece also. I think i had to buy ten of them though. I stopped using the max1044s cause i had a few burn out on me. So far i havent had any of the tc1044's to fail.
A long while back I bought 10 TC1044's from Mouser for a buck each. Then I bought ten more a few weeks later at the same price. I have enough of those to last me for a long while still.

Tc1044scpa!
I must agree that is quite a bargain! I never shop from Mouser cause of the shipping price and the code you must learn to buy parts. Maybe someone would wanna trade a few for a little something something? :)

Mouser offers free shipping on orders over $200 (in Canada at least), so it can be worth it for large orders. Their stock list can be confusing but you get used to it. I usually stock by line (for example, yellow mallory poly caps are the "150" line). In other words, I rather like Mouser.
I know a couple of guys who love Digikey because I think they do an $8 next-day shipping.
The 20 buck shipping to Canada is worth it in my opinion. You can also get 7 buck shipping but...
I filed an order at 2PM PST, it arrived the next morning. That's picking an order of $120 worth of parts (resistors and caps and trannies and such) in texas, getting it boxed, and then on a plane and sorted and delivered on Vancouver Island before lunch the next day. That's worth 20 bucks in my opinion.

I agree there. That's why I love Mouser. Even just sending it USPS to my house, if I order in the morning, it ships that day, and I have it either next day, or day after (i live in a small town with a very slow post office).
Mouser beats everyone if I need something right now ;D Plus, my order has always been correct, CLEARLY labeled, and properly packed. The shipping is a slightly more but I always know that I'll get the parts in exactly two days via USPS. Plus, while watching TV I'll look at the ridiculously large catalog/door stop. My 20 month daughter pages through like it's a story book.... :D

yeah, i use those massive catalogs as weights to stabilize mic stands.
We were using it as a booster seat for our almost 2 year old for a while. It's bigger than the phone book.

The mouser catalog has endless uses, it seems. I ripped a bunch of pages out of an older one to pack glassware when I moved.
Lol, that catalog is huge! It makes me feel important when my mailbox is full of stuff for me (even tho its just that catalog...)
Hit me up if ya need a couple dude, I'm always game for a trade.
