Manufacturers

I'm not trying to show every manufacturer out there, as there's literally tens-of-thousands. Instead, I want to point at a few that I personally really enjoy working with, or really appreciate the quality of their products.

• Texas Instruments. One of the oldest surviving semiconductor companies. They've absorbed literally hundreds of companies over the years, but the main reason I am a big proponent of their parts is that they have, by a wide margin, the best data sheets and application notes. They're a master-class in understanding how to use the components.
• Mill-Max. Produces very high-quality interconnects. For me, it's mostly their spring-loaded components and PC terminals.
