I recently had a couple of components rejected in an order
from Newark because there was a minimum of like 875 pieces
of one item and 1k of another..
Now looking back in the back that I used, I didn't see any thing
about a min on those components..
Today I had waiting for me on my desk, a new catalog.

So I looked in the pages and saw that the items I wanted only
20 each of, are still listed. And there is no comment about a
min. They have the usual single and bulk prices.

I happen to look on the front cover, it clearly states!
"No Minimum Order" I'm sure that if some of you deal with these people
for small orders like we do for proto types and part replacements you
should have one of those catalogs at your disposal.

So I had the purchasing department give them a call on these items
that we just got rejected on. They gave us the same run around.

So, what does one do with a company like that? Its kind of aggravating
since I am limited as to who I can buy from with out a CER for a major
purchase.

Are you allowed to purchase from Digi-key? They are frequently
mentioned as a good source for small quantities. Another possibility
is Mouser.

Not quite sure what you mean by "back in the back that I used."

That's the beauty of online ordering; it can reflect real-time
inventory. I'm guessing here but perhaps they were out of stock on a low
demand item except for one or more complete reels/boxes/etc. and took
the decision not to offer the items in quantities smaller than that.
I happen to look on the front cover, it clearly states!
"No Minimum Order"

Translation: We accept orders for any dollar amount and do not require
that the order totals at least XX dollars (although a small handling fee
may be added for orders below YY). Once upon a time, many places
wouldn't accept orders for less than, say, $25.
I'm sure that if some of you deal with these people

should have one of those catalogs at your disposal.

Again, I'm guessing but they may not want to be stuck with a partial
reel of 855 gizmos that they don't expect to be able to sell in the next
decade or so.

Try http://www.findchips.com for a parts search engine that queries many
of the "usual suspects."

Even Digikey does this.

An item you once could buy onesies-twosies, now has a gigantic
minimum.
I suspect it has to do with how long they sit on the shelves, or
possibly, for parts that are recently replaced with RoHS. Also, for
brand new parts - where I guess DK & others have no idea if they'll be
stuck with them...

The reverse is also true. Some items with large minimums occasionally
become available in much smaller quantities.

Complain to Farnell then. Newark should get a kick up the arse.

well, these are electrolytic caps we're trying to get and if memory
serves they were listed for ~ $5 bucks each. (330 Uf 100 VDC, high
temperature, axle lead);

We picked out 2 different type of caps, same response for both items.

Seeing that we ordered 20 of each. I think a $200+ order should be
enough for them to serve us.

We can do Digikey, Mouser, Electronx etc... how ever, main head
quarters for some reason can't see to eye that warrants making an
account with these people on as a normal supplier.

So what happens is we have a credit card that we can make limited
purchases on.
If How ever, we get a CER past, then we can buy from whom we want but
that is like pulling teeth.

"No Minimum Order"

That means you can order 1 MOQ of anything. If they have transistors in
singles for 2 cents, you can put in an order for 2 cents. If however the
MOQ for another 2c transostor is 100, you have to pay $2.
