How to know if a part will be obsolete in the future from the Digikey API?
Digikey API: “DateLastBuyChance,” “Discontinued,” and “EndOfLife” ?
Hello,
The information will be listed in the upper right corner of the page with the part number.
As as example. If you search part number 900-1300170017-ND, it is obsolete. Here is a screenshot

Hi vinhan.reg,
The answer to your question is that you can not know if, or when a part will become obsolete in the future because we generally don’t know either. The closest we get to that is when a vendor tells us a part is “Not For New Designs” (also known as “Not Recommended for New Designs” or “NRND”), give us a “Last Time to Buy” date, or when they tell us it’s actually obsolete.
Some vendors do have information on their websites where they will state that certain parts are guaranteed to be produced for at least “x” number of years, but we generally do not have that information on our website.
