How cheap do you want them? Electus have MAX232 chips for $2.25ea 25+ qty Do you want the ESD protected ones? Is power consumption important?

Hi People, where can I buy cheap MAX-232 DS-232 type rs232 interface ic's cheaply? in Australia?.

Thanks David, thats more like it. I'm just after bog stock dip package max232's so the Electus ones will do fine.

Got our last lot 500+ from Arrow. I didn't do the purchasing so don't know what the moq (minimum order quantity) is.

Futurlec.com.au has max232's for Aus$2 MAX232CPE

Can either of you guys suggest a supplier for these items?.

Regards Mark

Knowing Arrow, it'll be huge. We gave up purchasing Maxim through them because their MOQ was the Maxim factory MOQ - they want to play agent but not warehouse.
