May 18, 2021

Mini-Circuits announced a new distribution agreement with global electronics distributor Digi-Key. The agreement marks a major expansion of Mini-Circuits’ existing network of corporate shipping hubs and authorized distributors. 

Digi-Key is one of the largest and fastest-growing electronics distributors, carrying nearly 12 million products from over 1,700 manufacturers. Digi-Key will serve Mini-Circuits customers in over 200 countries with an initial offering of over 770 surface-mount parts and more planned for future release. 

“Many of our customers already use Digi-Key as a preferred point of sale for a variety of parts in their designs,” said Mini-Circuits vice president of technical marketing, Steve Scheinkopf. “We believe Digi-Key’s reputation for easy online ordering, in stock availability and fast delivery align with our commitment to outstanding service, and we’re confident that this new partnership will give Mini-Circuits customers even greater flexibility and convenience.” 

“Digi-Key is thrilled to be an authorized distributor for Mini-Circuits and offer their products in stock and available for shipping immediately,” said David Stein, vice president of global supplier management for Digi-Key. “Mini-Circuits has been a leader in the RF and microwave space for over 50 years, offering an unrivaled portfolio of the most important building blocks of any RF Design. We feel this will be a hugely beneficial partnership that only further enables design engineers to choose exactly what they need when they need it.” 

Highlights from the initial offering of Mini-Circuits products through Digi-Key include popular models from Mini-Circuits industry-leading MMIC product line up to 50 GHz, LTCC filters, baluns and couplers and patented reflectionless filters among many others. Availability through Digi-Key will be shown on Mini-Circuits’ website on relevant model dashboard pages, and through the Mini-Circuits manufacturer page on the Digi-Key website.
