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.

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-Returnable). This means that once you have placed your order for this part, the order cannot be cancelled and also cannot be returned once you have received it.
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.
When placing your first order, an account will be created for you automatically. The following information is required: company name, bill to, and ship to addresses. For European customers, a valid VAT# is also required if applicable.
Value Added Tax, 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.
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.
