 > 5 parts max, 2 pcs each for a sample order. Requested some 10x10$ parts, they arrived 2 weeks later in two separate packages (despite the fact they could easily fit into one), part statement in the first one read '​0'​ on the amount parts that were sent in the other. Everything else in perfect order. Sent from local sales office and arrived by regular international mail package. They *do* reject orders sent too often (I did one by mistake)(August 2013) - vaxquis > 5 parts max, 2 pcs each for a sample order.

 +8051, ARM3/4, optoisolators and clock generators/​PLL/​xtals mainly. 4 different parts per order, 2 pcs of a part, and 3 orders in a 30 day period.
 +> I just ordered two SIM3U167-B-GQ (ARM Cortex-M3 USB 256KB TQFP80) which are nice ARM processors with two integrated ADCs and it didn't seem to be a problem.
 +> Same here. Request (ARM3, 8051, optos) fulfilled in a couple of days, shipped by Mouser (March 2014) - vaxquis

-They allow you to sample their 8051 MCU's but not other ICs. 4 different parts per order, with 8 parts total, and 3 orders in a 30 day period. 
-UPDATE: ​ They are now allowing samples on their new line of ARM processors. ​ I just ordered two SIM3U167-B-GQ (ARM Cortex-M3 USB 256KB TQFP80) which are nice ARM processors with two integrated ADCs and it didn't seem to be a problem.
