Buying the samsung lm561c s6 diodes

After talking to an agent at digi-key, they do not and prob will not ever sell these diodes together on strips or a pcb board. So the question is who can you trust from the chinese market place to obtain these on strips, anybody?

yes thats absolutely correct I just had a conversation with one of the application engineers there. You can buy them individually or on tape or reels only.

I didn't ask but prob the best you can buy is the b or b+ diode on strips. I want to buy some of these top bin diodes but they must be on strips for me.

In the Classifieds section of the forum two were mentioned: Meiju and R2T. Just like with eBay sellers, there are simple checks you can make on Alibaba to see how reliable a company is. There are a couple more that should be good too.

Not sure there is any real simple checks to safeguard yourself, are you willing to send back material if its not what you want, hate to find myself in that position. These 300 diode boards are prob really only worth $35. fob china port.

If the agent was telling you that you can't get LM561C on strips, I don't think he knows about the F-series or H-series strips. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

All I'm saying is that the lm561c s6 diodes are only available thru digi-key as individual diodes or on tape or reels, not sure what the diodes are on the f & h series but they are not the 561c. I'm sure they would tell you but I'm after that top bin diode.

Show me where you read that the lm561c diode is on the F or H series, I can't find that info on digi-key, I believe many on this board are mistaken about this.
