I just bought a lot of maxim and dalsemi stuff. The maxim part numbers are online at the maxim or dalsemi website but all the ds### are absent. It took a phone call to get pricing and to order them. I guess Maxim doesn't care so much about dalsemi parts, lets hope they keep producing them.

Maxim has separated the iButton line, including some of the support components from their other operation. Its a separate website and a separate office from which to buy.

I can only speak to USA purchasing. Importation tends to cost me a lot even though there are no tariffs on what I purchase. Pure Beaurocracy charges to move the merchandise through US Customs and shipping handlers.
