LM3886 where to buy?

[judtoff]

I wanted to get back into chip-amps, however I am having a hard time sourcing legitimate lm3886 chips. Note I have PCBs, I'm not considering getting Chinese boards off ebay just to desolder the chips. I have my doubts those chips would be legitimate. Anyway I just need about 4 of them (bi-amping a pair of 2way speakers).

So where's everyone getting their chipamps these days?

Mouser has > 500 in stock...?

Digi-Key has thousands in stock @ $6.82 each, Parts Express has the metal tabbed version @ $11.02 each, and as SemperFi said, Mouser.

You can still buy direct from Texas Instruments.

Order from a distributor.

Mouser
Digikey
Newark
Farnell
Jameco
...or directly from TI.

Out of curiosity, from where did you try to source them?

I bought mine from Chipnet June 2018

Negotiated for a Tube of 20 for $3 each

Well that's embarrassing. They are indeed in stock everywhere. What I actually meant was the lm3875. It turns out my. PCBs were for the lm3875. But anyway sorry for wasting everyone's time.

The LM3875 was discontinued by TI 1-2 years ago. I suggest B+D Enterprises: B+D Enterprises - Home page
B+D is a great source for obsolete parts.

$6.82 for one 3886tf? Strange!! Here in india the price is $3.6(INR265) for one piece 3886tf. 100% genuine, because it has laser print & the spike circuitry really works!
I got them from local supplier.
