Analog Devices Inc. - Amplifiers, Converters, RF/IF Components, MEMS, DSP

CUI - Power supplies, power connectors, etc

Molex - The great connector company

Nordic Semiconductors - ISM Band(s) Transmitters and Transceivers

Samtec - USA based mfg of connectors and cables. They have the wacky stuff for reasonable prices.

Microchip - Microcontrollers - the great PIC family

Atmel - Microcontrollers, Flash memory, ARMs - and the Star AVR

STMicroelectronics - http://www.st.com/


If you want information *about* a particular part, the best place is the datasheet -- usually on the manufacturer's web site.

If you want the actual part itself, though -- sometimes you can get samples directly from the manufacturer. But that's pretty hit-or-miss. Your best bet is through some distributor or supplier.

(A "distributor" and a "supplier" are the same thing, right?)
