DigiKey is a global leader in the distribution of electronic components, supporting engineers, designers, and procurement professionals across every sector of the industry. Established in 1972 in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, the company has grown from a small mail-order business into one of the most trusted partners for innovation worldwide.

From the beginning, DigiKey differentiated itself by supplying components in small or single quantities, making it easier for students, hobbyists, and professionals to experiment and create. This approach removed barriers faced by many customers and helped build a reputation for accessibility and service that continues to define the company today.

The company’s product portfolio spans semiconductors, connectors, passives, electromechanical parts, sensors, power supplies, development tools, and more. DigiKey partners with thousands of manufacturers to maintain a continually expanding inventory. Alongside distribution, the company invests in digital resources such as design calculators, reference designs, training modules, and technical forums, helping customers accelerate product development and bring ideas to market faster.

Today, DigiKey represents far more than a distributor. It is a complete ecosystem of products, tools, and knowledge that empowers engineers and businesses to innovate. From its small-town origins to its position as a global leader, DigiKey continues to play a vital role in shaping the future of electronics.
