@Levinwick need 1,200 of TPS62130RGTR for the EVT2 build next week. Can you get them here by Friday?
LevinwickAPP
Yes. All 1,200 are in US stock, so Friday works if you approve before 3pm PT.

@Levinwick AP2112K-3.3 is showing 16 weeks everywhere. What are our options?
LevinwickAPP
Two 3.3 V LDOs in the same SOT-23-5 pinout are in stock now. Datasheets are in the thread.

The TLV755 covers it unless that rail pulls more than 500 mA. Want me to swap it on the EVT2 order?

J1What we carry
If it comes off a shelf, ask for it.
Most hardware orders get split across five suppliers because the regulator, the standoffs and the Kapton all come from different places. We carry the electronic side and the mechanical side, so a build goes on one order.

U2Who it's for
Teams between the first prototype and the first thousand units.
Big distributors work well when you know the exact part, the exact quantity, and you're happy to sit in a cart. That isn't how most hardware teams buy.
Someone in electrical is chasing a regulator that just went to 16 weeks. Someone in mechanical needs standoffs by Thursday. The founder is approving all of it from their phone between meetings, and nobody has time to compare prices across six tabs.
Levinwick sits in that conversation as your buyer. We source the parts, flag what's going to be late before it is, suggest alternates you can actually drop in, and keep every order and invoice where the whole team can see it.
- One order
- Chips, cable and screws on the same PO and invoice.
- Kitted per build
- Bagged and labelled by board, ready for the line.
- Alternates early
- Long lead times get flagged at quote, not after you've ordered.
- Traceable
- Source and date code posted against every line.

Notes, unless otherwise specified:
You don't have to change how you order.
Mention @Levinwick in any channel you've added it to and write the request the way you'd write it to a colleague. Part numbers, links, screenshots and BOM files all work.
There is a person on the other end.
Levinwick handles quoting and tracking straight away, and a buyer on our team checks every order before it's placed. If something needs a conversation, they reply in the thread.
Quantities run from a handful to production.
Small quantities ship as cut tape or loose. Larger ones come on full reels.
Off-the-shelf parts only.
We don't make custom parts. Machined, moulded and sheet metal parts aren't something we do.
You decide who can approve.
Most teams set one or two approvers and a spend limit. Anyone in the channel can request.
