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.

Why not just buy NTE 184 and NTE 185.

For a hundred of each? That's almost $500 for the NTEs, compared to
maybe $70 or $80!!!

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.

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?

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.

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!

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.

Why not just buy NTE 184 and NTE 185.

For a hundred of each? That's almost $500 for the NTEs, compared to
maybe $70 or $80!!!


I go to Butcher A, his sign says "beef 49 cents/lb", but he doesn't
have any. So I go to Butcher B, he sells beef for 89 cents/lb, so I ask
"why don't you meet Butcher A's price?". He comes back with "Butcher A
doesn't have any beef. If I didn't have any beef, my price would be 39
cents/lb"!

I tanked up this morning, and gasoline is getting back down to below a
buck sixty a gallon. 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.

They shouldn't do (according to tax rules) and the big suppliers will be ok.
Some small places "forget" so to check.

When those NTEs were ECGs I could make one phone call and find out what they
actually were and make decisions based on the full specs of the part.
I liked that.

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.

Those NTEs are always available at the local electronics store. For a
