DigiKey highlights adding 90,000 new product SKUs in 2024

DigiKey has announced a significant expansion of its portfolio in 2024, adding 340,000 new stocking parts year-to-date, including nearly 90,000 newly introduced product SKUs.

This includes the addition of 150 new suppliers, across its core business, DigiKey Marketplace, and the Fulfilled by DigiKey programme.

Key suppliers added in the first half of 2024, highlighted by the company, include AEM, FLEXEMATIC, Faulhaber, Nexcom, and Pacific Lasertec.

The distributor – based in Thief River Falls, Minnesota – highlighted additions to advanced controls, precision sensors, high-efficiency motors, and industrial automation, particularly.

“DigiKey is committed to providing the most innovative new components to our customers,” said Mike Slater, vice president, global business development for DigiKey. “By continuously expanding our supplier mix, we are able to fill technology gaps and add products in areas of rapid growth and high demand, as well as emerging technologies, like automation and control, electric and hybrid vehicles, AI, smart sensors, wireless connectivity and more.”

Some of the new products available, highlighted by DigiKey in their own words, include:

Nexcom: The Neu-X101-6C-DC fanless edge computing system can handle two independent HDMI 4K@30Hz display outputs. It also has a rich I/O interface with four USB ports, two LAN and six COM — an ideal IoT edge computer connecting more devices or sensors for digital data transmission in a smart city environment. As a palm-size system, the installation is much easier as less space is needed.

eLichens: The CRA-30-242 Cranberry sensor is an ultra-low power, one-series device which features cutting-edge NDIR (non-dispersive, infrared) and a dual-channel gas sensor. The sensor includes a proprietary IR micro-source, patented optical design and advanced signal processing algorithms. It also provides the lowest power consumption and the highest stability on the market in a compact form factor.

Pacific Lasertec: The company’s 25-LHP-213 green helium-neon (HeNe) laser provides an extremely narrow spectral line-width, long operating lifetime, outstanding beam quality and high-value price point.

Schaltbau: As part of the company’s C310 series of bi-directional DC contactors, the 1-1614-352138 is designed for continuous currents of 150 amps, 300 amps and 500 amps. The switchgear has both high making and breaking capacities, and a high short-time withstand current to ensure high operational safety.
