DigiKey, a global distributor of electronic components and automation products, expanded its product portfolio in the third quarter of 2026. The company added more than 27,000 new products to its in-stock inventory, making them available for immediate shipment. It also added over 507,000 products to its website and partnered with 93 new manufacturers to expand its product range.
“DigiKey’s strong inventory pipeline and in-stock availability continue to drive our record-breaking growth in revenue and customer count,” said Mike Slater, vice president of global business development at DigiKey. “Continued investments in our product portfolio, industry-leading website and global distribution center give customers quick access to the latest innovative products essential for accelerating their designs.”
DigiKey aims to keep more products in stock so that engineers, designers, makers and purchasing teams can order small quantities of components for prototypes and testing. This allows them to receive products quickly without placing large factory orders or waiting for long delivery times.
Q3 new manufacturer suppliers include:
- Alif Semiconductor, which provides the next-generation Ensemble family of microcontrollers and fusion processors, combining scalable performance, AI/ML acceleration, advanced security, integrated wireless and flexible processing for a wide range of applications.
- Chase Corporation is a global specialty chemicals company offering protective materials for high-reliability applications. Its HumiSeal brand has over 60 years of experience providing conformal coating solutions that protect electronics across a wide range of industries.
DigiKey continues to expand its product inventory, helping engineers, designers and makers access the latest electronic components and newly launched products for their projects.
Some of the NPIs added in Q3 2026 include:
- The DFRobot LattePanda Mu Ultra, a compact x86 compute module designed for on-device AI, machine vision, local large language models and other compute-intensive edge applications.
- Same Sky’s anti-vandal switches combine rugged stainless-steel or black alloy construction with IP65/IP67 sealing, offering dependable performance in demanding industrial and outdoor applications.
- Schneider Electric’s TeSys Deca SNAP IN contactors feature tool-free, one-second conductor connections that can accelerate panel assembly by up to 96% while providing secure, vibration-resistant connections.
- Arduino’s VENTUNO Q Edge AI Computer combines high-performance AI processing, real-time control and advanced connectivity on a single platform for robotics and edge AI applications.
- The Sensirion SFA40, which combines high-sensitivity formaldehyde detection and low power consumption to enable next-generation indoor air quality monitoring devices for air purifiers, HVAC systems and portable monitors.
- The Nordic Semiconductor nRF93M1 Smart Modem delivers LTE Cat 1 bis connectivity, Wi-Fi and cellular-based positioning, along with robust security features in a compact, pre-certified module for global IoT applications.
- Amphenol RF’s high-flex RG-58 FAKRA cable assemblies combine flexible, durable construction and reliable RF performance to support automotive and industrial applications exposed to continuous movement and vibration.
- Eaton’s XVH Series supercapacitors combine high-density energy storage, ultra-low ESR and fast charge/discharge performance to support reliable backup power and energy recovery applications.
- SICK’s sensingCam SEC200 industrial code reader, which delivers reliable, cost-effective identification of 1D barcodes and 2D matrix codes, enabling simplified traceability, verification and automation across manufacturing, packaging and logistics applications.
- STMicroelectronics’ VL53L9CX direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) 3D LiDAR module delivers high-resolution depth sensing with up to 2.3K zones, accurate ranging to 9 m and low-power operation for robotics, smart building, AR/VR and industrial sensing applications.
Beyond investing in continuous inventory growth, the company recently announced a $100 million investment over the next 18 months to expand its global distribution centre and scale capacity and automation. The investment reinforces DigiKey’s position as a global leader in electronic component distribution, serving one million customers annually with more than 1.9 million products in stock and ready to ship the same day from the U.S. product distribution centre.
