I know this has been request previously, but **when will we have a sense of how long 'out-of-stock' items will be restocked for SMT production**? Prior response to this question was "new features are coming with the new facility in early OCT."
Several months ago, I had to recently redesign a project because the original 47uH inductor (C143967) was out of stock (and has now been out-of-stock for awhile). I replaced with a different version (C169398) that I was able to run a few tests with--but now that is also out-of-stock (and I now have an order suspended until I redesign). I could possibly consider a third 47uH inductor (C169387)--but it only has 47 in-stock, and a 4th option only has about 900 in-stock (which I would presume will soon run out).
Some of these options have different footprints, so require an entire re-design of the PCB each time there's a change. I feel like I'm rummaging through the bottom of the barrel right now...
1) Is there any sense when we will have the information that will tell us when items are expected to be re-stocked?
2) Is there any way we can request to have items stocked (or check to see which version is the preferred item to be consistently stocked)?
