Today, i just noticed LCSC (a supplier for JLCPCB) has some STM32G030 and they are way cheaper than in mouser i bought
100+ for US$0.7436
I bought 100 of them in price of 1.19$, but this price is way lower than ST eStore itself.
Just.. how? Is it a reliable seller? Is there any price regulation for China?
I had to ask this because it supplies components to one of the biggest PCB manifacturer. So, if i want SMD assembly, they would probably use these chips.
Best regards
