Linears are great, I find the AD sheets hard to read sometimes. Microchip historically has some decent ones but it’s been a while since I’ve used their parts.

Datasheets for Japanese connectors are like a circle of hell for me. Confusing and possibly incomplete dimensions, and the drawing usually looks like it was printed, scanned, and converted to jpg several times.

Ugh, I've been using a datasheet from Panasonic [0] recently, and it's been a trip. The original Japanese is all there, with a lackluster English translation below each paragraph. Plugging the Japanese in to Google Translate for the particularly bad sections usually helps. At least this version is clean, I ran across a few PDFs floating around for this part that looked like they had been run though the print-scan-jpeg cycle a few times.

Eait until you see Chinese market only parts without datasheets in English, and thenselves mostly done by not so bright engineers of sales offices of Western big semis.
