List of companies that send free samples to Sri Lanka

[Neo]

There companies send samples to Sri Lanka.

1. Maxim-IC - Superb semiconductor company. They manufacture quite a lot of ICs.
   - MAX232 serial level converter (Used for Microcontroller <-> PC RS232 communication)
   - MAX7221 LED matrix/7-segment driver
2. Microchip (Since people have misused the service, they have removed Sri Lanka from the list before. I guess it works now since lots of people are working in micros now)
3. Texas Instruments - Normally sample almost sensors, analogue ICs. However I doubt they send stuff like DSPs as samples. Anyway they offer all of them for a small fee.

Let's keep the list growing.

Our guys have misused the service. Guys have put different addresses/names and ordered quite a lot of micros/other components by putting 1000s of pieces as their project requirement. So they were the sending the samples straight away with high expectations on a bigger order in near future (But later they have realised that it is just a fraud - no mass quantity orders by individuals)

It is really okay to order 1 or 2 free samples for experiments by people like you. You guys are the people who will join the industry one day and introduce the good products that you have been experimenting throughout the past for bigger projects. So I think they have clearly identified this and made that restriction without blacklisting the whole country.
