MIKROE via DigiKey

MIKROE’s entire Click board lineup is now in stock at DigiKey, giving embedded developers a new mainstream channel for more than 1,950 add-on modules. (mikroe.com) MIKROE announced the change on April 20, 2026, and DigiKey is now carrying Click boards for sensing, connectivity, power, displays and interfaces through its global distribution operation. (mikroe.com) Click boards are small hardware modules that plug into a standard socket called mikroBUS, which MIKROE created so engineers can add one function at a time without redesigning a full circuit board. DigiKey’s long-running product pages describe them as plug-and-play add-ons for development boards. (digikey.com) That matters in day-to-day lab work because engineers often need one sensor, radio, display or power interface quickly for a prototype, a test fixture or a repair job, not a full custom board run. New Electronics said the broader DigiKey catalog should widen direct access for prototype boards, test modules and small-run embedded designs. (newelectronics.co.uk) The distribution shift also builds on an ecosystem that was already larger than a single vendor’s dev kit. MIKROE said the catalog now spans more than 1,950 Clicks, while chip suppliers such as Microchip already point customers to Click boards as a way to prototype interfaces around their microcontrollers. (mikroe.com) (microchip.com) DigiKey was already listing MIKROE Click products years before this week’s announcement, but the older product-highlight pages focused on a smaller slice of the range, including a 2017 page marking the 300th Click board. The new announcement is about full-portfolio stocking rather than a first-time relationship. (digikey.com) (mikroe.com) For developers, the practical change is less about a new hardware standard than about sourcing: one distributor, live inventory, and a broader menu of modules that can move from proof-of-concept into low-volume builds.
