Mouser sells a whole slew of NTE parts.

while we're asking NTE questions...does anyone have the inside skinny on why
in the hell they elected to make their own part numbering system for
standard components and why they don't have an NTE to generic cross

That is extremely aggravating to me as I as I have a whole handful of NTE
parts now that I have no idea what they do!
