DigiKey Makes Significant Portfolio Expansions in Q2 2024

Significant portfolio expansions are announced by DigiKey over the first two quarters of 2024. More than 340,000 cutting-edge new products throughout its core business, DigiKey Marketplace, and Fulfilled by DigiKey program, including 90,000 new stocking parts with inventory ready for sale, are part of this, along with the inclusion of more than 150 new suppliers.

In the first half of 2024, a number of significant suppliers were added under DigiKey Marketplace, including Pacific Lasertec, AEM, FLEXEMATIC, Faulhaber, and Nexcom. The additions are indicative of DigiKey’s continuous endeavors to broaden its product offerings across all categories, encompassing advanced controls, precision sensors, high-efficiency motors, and innovative industrial automation technologies.

DigiKey wants to keep giving clients the widest selection of solutions to suit their changing demands, thus it is expanding its capabilities in these important areas.

Through these strategic expansions, DigiKey is able to keep up with the most recent developments in technology, hold onto its position as the industry’s top distributor of electronics, and guarantee that its clients have access to the most cutting-edge and reliable products out there.

Additionally, the company is broadening the range of products it offers. Highlights of the new product line 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.

DigiKey guarantees that engineers, designers, procurement professionals, and makers may place orders for genuine products straight from the manufacturer with these new additions. With a wide selection of products ranging frombare PCB boards to Internet of Things(IoT) solutions, the DigiKey Marketplace is a one-stop shop for all technological innovation.

With the help of a state-of-the-art warehouse and logistics center, the Fulfilled by DigiKey program, DigiKey Marketplace gives suppliers access to a worldwide client base, top-notch on-demand fulfillment services, and the power to promote, sell, select, pack, and ship their goods anywhere in the world.
