Octopart works with scores of manufacturers in numerous ways. For example, we've previously mentioned our relationships with Ecliptek and Texas Instruments on this blog.
One recent development is Anaren's placement of "Buy" buttons linking to Octopart from their AIR product pages.

Anaren is a leader in microwave/RF technology, and these new buttons make it easy for their customers to source the parts through Octopart with a few clicks.
If you're working on a design that requires low-power RF capabilities, be sure to check out Anaren's AIR line.
Manufacturers looking for an easy way to connect customers to distributors should contact us.
