Hi
People *have* been known to sort MiniCircuits parts and use the “extras” in
something else. A certain major oscillator manufacturer once bought a bunch
of RPD-1’s , sorted them for the “one in a hundred” examples, and then returned
the rest for credit…… Somehow I doubt HP didi it quite that way.
Some manufacturers will cherry pick for you. Maybe the datasheet says
gain is 14 to 18 dB, and you order a batch that you want to be 15.5-16.5
dB.. They'll pick those out, but of course, now the remainder have a
hole in the distribution. Particularly when you're buying high-rel or
space grade, where they have to 100% test anyway.
