Buy Transistor - Dilemma
I want to purchase 100 each of the BD435 and BD436. I went to Digi-Key, and they don't have them; I searched for them and browsed the catalog, no luck. So I went to Mouser, and they have them, but minimum purchase is 2000. I searched several other places on the web (Futurlec, BDent, MCM ..) without success. I've attempted to buy Philips parts, but I got the runaround. I talked to or emailed a Philips distributor and they sent me to a local rep. I talked to the rep, and they sent me back to the distributor. It's is blatantly obvious that they don't want to deal with small fish, just the bigger purchasers. So I face a dilemma. How to get a few hundred transistors without buying a few thousand, or something like that. Maybe it's my inexperience with dealing with this sort of thing. In any case, I'm open to ideas. Thanks. -- @@F@r@o@m@@O@r@a@n@g@e@@C@o@u@n@t@y@,@@C@a@l@,@@w@ h@e@r@e@@ ###Got a Question about ELECTRONICS?

Buy Transistor - Dilemma
Why not just buy NTE 184 and NTE 185.

Hey ! You are the one who has trouble finding them ,it was just a suggestion
if all else failed. I am sure if you do some Web Searching YOU will find suppliers for the quantity you need. kip -- "Watch the return E-Mail addy its false" "Watson A.Name "Watt Sun - the Dark Remover"" wrote in message ... john wrote: Why not just buy NTE 184 and NTE 185. kip For a hundred of each?

Sounds to me like you need to select a different component. Anything this hard to find is going to be a sourcing problem down the road too; for whatever reason, what they're telling you is that this is not a normally stocked item. Is there really nothing else that will do what you need? Perhaps in the 2N lines? |

Is there really nothing else that will do what you need? Perhaps in the 2N lines? Well, I chose them because I thought they were a common, easy to get part. They are inexpensive too, maybe 35 to 40 cents in 100 qty. The TO-126 case is a conveniently small size. The TO-220 case is larger, but might fit in some places without a heatsink. I've seen parts electrically similar to this but they're not thru hole parts. -- @@F@r@o@m@@O@r@a@n@g@e@@C@o@u@n@t@y@,@@C@a@l@,@@w@ h@e@r@e@@ ###Got a Question about ELECTRONICS?

Shop around. Ask Mouser if they made a mistake. I think at Mouser they are
about $1 each which means a minimum order value of $2000! Rather a lot for a distrubutor. RS Components in the UK have the BD435 at 0.27p each at (100+). That's about 40 cent each. The BD436 is even cheaper at 18p but I don't think RS will ship to the USA. Nice to find something cheaper over here for a change! "Watson A.Name "Watt Sun - the Dark Remover"" wrote in message ...

It was up to over two earlier this year, when a refinery became inoperative or whatever their excuse was. Looks like there are some lessons in supply and demand in our stories. Tim. Hey, I bought several NTE11s at Fry's a year or so ago when I started experimenting with the V boost circuits - at about the same price each as that gallon of gas above. Then I ordered a hundred 2SD965s for 27 cents apiece, so I got essentially the same transistor for 1/5 or 1/6 the price. Those NTEs are always available at the local electronics store. For a price that I'm trying to avoid. -- @@F@r@o@m@@O@r@a@n@g@e@@C@o@u@n@t@y@,@@C@a@l@,@@w@ h@e@r@e@@ ###Got a Question about ELECTRONICS?

Jeff NTEs were a knockoff of ECG, which was Sylvania at one time. Same numbering, but nothing to do with ECG, up until they bought out ECG last year.
