We offer credit card and Net 30 days payment terms for any first-time customer and this will be clearly indicated during the checkout process. If you select Net 30 days when placing your first order, you may later be contacted by our accounting team to fill out a credit application depending on the dollar value of your order.

There are a few reasons why you may not see a Net 30 days payment option when checking out, but the most common reason is because you placed at least one order with us a long time ago and only used a credit card. If you know this is the case, you can fill out a credit application so that our accounting team can give you the option to order via Net 30 days payment terms. Otherwise, you can visit our customer support portal where you can submit a case or live chat with an associate during normal business hours to help troubleshoot the issue.

Order Compliance is the percentage of the quoted quantity you need to purchase to secure the quoted price. For example, if the quoted quantity is 10K units and the order compliance is 25%, you need to order at least 2.5K units on your first order to secure the quoted price.

You can request to change the delivery date on your order by going to our storefront and clicking on "My Orders," and then “View/Edit” and clicking on the pen icon next to the current requested delivery date.

If you want to only cancel a single line on a multi-line order, click the “View/Edit” button and then click “Cancel” on the line you want to cancel. If the cancellation is not able to be processed automatically, it is either because the part is Non-Cancellable/Non-Reschedulable (NCNR) or the order is scheduled to ship within 30 days.

Maxim guarantees all parts within one year from purchase, regardless of date code, as long as the material was ordered either directly from Maxim or its authorized distributors.

We use the WTO definition of Country of Origin (COO) for integrated circuits, that is the country where the last assembly activity occurs. COO can differ by each manufacturing lot as one of our part numbers may have more than one qualified assembly site. As such, COO is not known until an order has been booked and material has been allocated/shipped to an order. Our most common production sites are as follows:

Philippines/Thailand/Malaysia/Taiwan/USA/China/Japan/Singapore/South Korea

Lastly, the COO (and date code) will be indicated on the Packing Slip that is included with each order.

Non-standard parts are subject to certain requirements. This means for quotes or orders, Maxim may require additional information regarding your project or application using our parts, as well as which countries you are selling your product into. Non-standard parts are also referred to as NCNR (Non-Cancellable and Non-Reschedulable). This means that once you have placed your order for this part, the order cannot be cancelled, rescheduled, or returned. Please be 100% certain that you have need for a non-standard or NCNR part before placing your order.

The MOQ means Minimum Order Quantity. This is the minimum quantity that must be ordered on a single line item.

The order mult is the quantity multiplier that must be met if you wish to order more than MOQ. For instance, if the MOQ is 250 units and the order mult is 50 units, that means you must order 300, 350, 400 etc. if you wish to order more than 250 units.

The end customer is the customer who ultimately designed the product that is using our part(s). Indicating the end customer is usually only relevant if you are a Contract Manufacturer (CM) or Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider. If you are an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) creating and/or producing your own products, you can put your own company name as the end customer.

This is the price you would like to receive for a certain part and quantity based on your BOM budget or based on prices for similar products that our competitors sell. When submitting a quote, please provide the competitor’s part number if your target price is based on a similar part that one of our competitor’s sells. Please note it is not always possible to match this price and is not necessary to put a target price if you do not have one.

Lead time is the estimated period between placing an order and delivery of the goods. Based on the quantity being ordered and where material is in the manufacturing process, the lead time is subject to change but usually anywhere between 1 to 6 weeks for most of our products.

Please visit our customer support portal where you can submit a case or live chat with an associate during normal business hours.

Please visit the Obsolescence Information portion of our website which outlines our discontinuance policy and allows you to search for any part number that is obsolete and not recommended for new designs (which means it is planned for obsolescence in the near future). Additionally, if you have ordered a part number that is going obsolete, you will automatically receive a discontinuance notice with the reason why it is going obsolete and details on the possibility of a last-time buy.

No, Maxim is unable to ship to a P.O. Box due to size constraints. We can accept a P.O. Box as the billing address for an order, but please provide a physical, non-P.O. Box shipping address.

You are responsible for local customs charges, taxes and duties. This sale is subject to and governed by Maxim’s terms and conditions of sale.

If your shipping address is in California or Texas, then we will charge the appropriate sales tax rate to your order unless you provide a copy of your Resale Certificate. A Resale Certificate is a state-issued document that exempts you from paying sales tax because you will collect sales tax when you resell your final product to your customers. If you choose California or Texas as your shipping address during the online order checkout process, you will be prompted to provide your Resale Certificate number as well as a link to upload a copy of your Resale Certificate.

If you are in Europe, then we will charge the appropriate Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate unless you provide a valid VAT number during the online checkout process. VAT is an indirect tax levied in many countries in Europe. Within these countries, customers, businesses, organizations and private individuals are liable for VAT. Under EU laws, intra-state sales may not be subject to VAT where the customer is registered for VAT. If you are in a European country where a VAT is levied, then you will be prompted to provide your VAT number during the online order checkout process in order to waive the respective VAT tax rate.

Maxim accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

Credit card authorization takes place 1 day before the goods ship. A $1 or $0 authorization is applied to confirm the credit card details. (Please note the card is not charged at this time). The card is charged with the full amount when the parts ship and the invoice is generated.
