Digikey lists three if you do the search.

I only need ~5.

Do you really expect to find a vendor who has no minimum order and no
outrageous charges for small orders?

I wouldn't.

Bull droppings!

There is a $6.00 handling charge for over seas paperwork, plus
shipping. A $5.00 charge is the order id less that #25.00

Those Caps are more than that, so only the $6 and shipping apply.

I do business with Digikey all the time, never had any problem nor
a minimum order! (My buys for prototypes are usually about
$200.00 and they are prompt to ship.

Where do you see that?

I found 4019PHCT-NT at $0.47, minimum order 1. However, you can buy
the same part in a box or reel, where the minimum order is 500 (but
they are only $0.22 that way).

Digikey's minimum order is US$25, I believe. I suspect that any
online supplier will have a minimum order value, as it simply is not
economic to process an order for $2.50 worth of parts.

Most have minimum orders.

http://www.allelectronics.com

has no mimimum but a $6 fixed S/H charge on all orders.

I wouldn't.



Try www.mouser.com . No minimum and generally good prices and
service. Or just stop in a Radio Shack and pay more than you could
have bought them mailorder&shipped.

??????? $2000 min order? Where did that come from?

I've done three $25ish orders in the last few weeks (it's amazing how
many ways I can find to blow up the same mos-fet driver, but that's a
different story..)

BTW, my $25+ orders were just so I wouldn't get hit with "HUGE" $5
surcharge on orders less than $25


BTW, Quick search at www.digikey.com for "220uF 16v" gives a bunch of
options. For instance (all with single unit min orders)

Two different Tantalum caps starting at $9.91

One specialty Polymer cap @ $3.08

Nine electrolytic caps starting @ $0.35

BTW, if your in the US, USPS Priority is cheaper than UPS ground, and
a whole heck of a lot faster (two days in my case)

There are dozens if not hundreds of vendors on Ebay who'll do that for

The vendors on Ebay don't seem to think that's true. They'll sell you a
few bucks of parts and ship 'em for a couple dollars.

And there are plenty of vendors there that are from the UK, judging by
the number of prices that are listed in GBP.

We've propably got some 220/16V radials on the shelf here or at work, if the OP
gives me a mailing address I'll throw some in a jiffy bag for free, but he'll
have to pay the airmail postage.

We have a couple of million resistors and capacitors of all types in the
workshop downstairs, I'll have to make up a list so I can get them moved on,
they take up a LOT of room! Elco's we don't hold on to, only ceramics, poly and
some of the high-range Tant's.

As far as the web interface goes, I picked the cap I wanted, and entered a
quantity of "5". It wouldn't let me proceed, until I entered a quantity
of 2000.

Perhaps there are ways around this, but the web interface was quite clear.

It sounds like I turn a wrong turn somewhere. I found the part I needed,
but the web interface wouldn't let me order less than 2000.

Thank you for your kind offer, sir - I've already found a few closer to home
on Ebay.

Well, select the part that is not a Reel lot component! Sort for
BULK and it will accept the entry for "5" It is really very
simple to do, jus follow the directions. BTW the part you listed
showed 0 in stock!

Hi,

Where is the $2000 minimum order specified?

According to the Digikey web site:

A $5 handling charge is added to your order if the subtotal is less than
$25.
6.5 percent sales tax is added to your order if the shipping address is in
Minnesota.
International orders (excluding Canada) will have a $6.00 processing fee
added to your order.
All duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer.

I've heard this $2000 bit before....

John.

You probably heard it here, from someone who was looking at prices in the
"components on reels" section instead of the individual parts.
