Title: LE v5 LED Display Drivers 4DGT W/I2C from Mouser not available anymore?
Post by: Jasonlnlv on November 17, 2013,

Was purchasing a parts kit from Mouser for a LE v5 and the  LED Display Drivers 4DGT W/I2C - part number 771-SAA1064PN was not available any more and they say that the part number 771-SAA1064TD-T (LED Display Drivers 4-BIT LED DRIVER I2C) as the similar product. Will this work?

Thanks for any input.

It will work *BUT* it's a surface mount part.  You will need to get an SMT-to-DIP adapter to make it fit.  PM RJ; I recall he picked up some extra DIP versions from China; he may have one to sell.

Also I just found an old post on this forum and a link to someone selling on ebay.  I just picked up 4 myself.  They are $4 each and $4 shipping.

I just picked up 4 from a surplus vendor on ebay, but it had me wondering what the plan is for any Express co-ops that are coming soon.

I think I recall RJ mentioning he had found a source for a large quantity of them..
