Digi-Key Drops Printed Catalog

Virtually everywhere, Digi-Key addresses today’s toughest product-development challenges, and redefines itself as the leading integrated Internet-based global distributor.

Thief River Falls, MN – In an unprecedented industry move, Digi-Key Corporation has announced that it will immediately cease all print versions of its product catalog and TechZone Magazine, offering this content exclusively online.

This all-digital decision, driven by the company’s efforts to be environmentally vigilant, marks a major milestone in Digi-Key’s transition into a totally integrated Internet-based distributor, using state-of-the-art technology to support customers and streamline sales for suppliers worldwide.

Information about, and inventory of millions of products distributed by Digi-Key, are just clicks away for customers around the globe, all shipped from a single location.

Integrating all product and support information online puts engineers and procurement professionals in control as they solve tough product development challenges.

The company’s online offerings include:

  • An interactive online catalog of a broad selection of products for immediate order.
  • An online BOM Manager for easily customized order assembly and packaging.
  • A state-of-the-art online system to process purchases — from order entry to shipping — in as few as 15 minutes.
  • More than 1,000 exclusive PTM Online…On Demand product training modules.
  • Online interactive TechZone magazines focused on lighting, microcontroller, power, sensor and wireless solutions; natural extensions of Digi-Key’s online TechZoneSM technology zones.
  • Another Geek Moment videos feature products and show engineers, who are designing with components from Digi-Key, how to accomplish particular functions or solve unique problems. These videos can also be viewed on Digi-Key’s YouTube channel.
  • A Digi-Key toolbar for engineers, purchasers and electronic enthusiasts, for quick and easy access to information about parts details, training and more.
  • PurchasingPro for electronics buyers – the latest, need-to-know information about prices, lead-times and market conditions, as well as the latest news and analysis of critical supply chain issues.
  • Digi-Key’s Mobile and Social Center where customers can interact with Digi-Key.
  • Digi-Key’s Reference Design Library, which allows customers to search for designs based on a circuit’s performance instead of searching several manufacturers’ sites or calling on companies to find and compare designs.
