Lead times and whatnot...
OK...a bit more information:
Digikey lead time for the parts: N-channel: May 27/2008
P-channel: July 1/ 2008
Each rail from Fairchild contains 30 mosfets. These parts
are non-stock at Digikey, which only accepts orders in
units of 450 pieces.
There doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for matched parts,
so I guess we'll skip that. (Whew!
)
May I ask that members order N and P channel parts in
equal number? I don't mind if some want more
N while others want more P parts , but I'd prefer not
to have too may of one polarity left over.
Cheers,
Dennis

If anyone participating in the GB would be willing to sell matched devices in small numbers, please contact me. I just would like to build one F5, and would need three complete sets of devices, one or two to blow up during construction mistakes, and one to use for the rest of my life, or until the F6, or F7, or F8 ... takes its place. Thanks in advance - Pat
The count so far...
OK....here's the current order count. The two numbers
after the member name are the number of N and P parts
requested respectively.
Dennis Hui, 100, 100
Blues, 60, 60
pchew, 30, 30
mlloyd1, 20, 20
SCD, 20, 20
7/10, 20, 20
DaveM, 20, 20
twitchie 60, 60
bakus11, 30, 30
Luke, 90, 30
=============
That's 450 N-channel parts and 390 P-channel parts.
I'm in contact with another member to see if he's
interested in picking up most of the P-channel parts.
If that goes well then I can accept Luke's order.
I think the prudent thing for me to do is to not accept
any more orders at this time. (Not that I'm really
expecting any more, as the interest hasn't seem
that great.)
Stay tuned for more information....

Dennis

Shipping
Hello,
I've looked up some shipping info.
First of all, the standard Fairchild packaging is 20 inches
long, which makes them a bit awkward to pack. Also, I
don't have the exact weights of the parts with packaging
so I'll have to make some guesses based on some
tubes of IRF's that I have.
Shipping cost to US: (Small packet airmail)
================
8.55 CAD for < 0.5kg
13.25 CAD for up to 1kg.
Shipping cost to locations in Canada:
==========================
Please check shipping on canadapost.ca
based on the weight below. You can
use the postal code of M5S1A1.
Shipping to rest of the world (small packet airmail)
====================
15.80 CAD < 0.5kg
31.00 CAD for up to 1kg.
0.5kg may be good up for to 50-60 mosfets in total
and 1kg for perhaps up to 120 pieces. This supposes
that we can pack things lightly. Cardboard shipping
tubes may be too heavy. (One possibility is to
simply cut full tubes in half and then they can fit
nicely in large padded envelopes...) Count on $2
for packing supplies.
Cheers,
Dennis

Time to get another show of hands...
Hello,
I have added shipping estimates in this long-winded post:
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1498632#post1498632
I would like to get member confirmations to see if I
can proceed with this GB.
Please PM me throough this forum to confirm whether you
would like to participate in this GB. The part prices are
$0.70CAD for the N-channel and $0.82CAD for the
P-channel devices.
Shipping and paypal fees are extra.
If I received enough confirmations then the GB will
go ahead. I will then send out invoices and collect
payment, after which I will place my order with
Digikey.ca.
I contacted Digikey and they quoted a 4 and 9 week
lead time. This is consistent with the May 27 and
July 1 dates I gave earlier.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience whether
you would like to participate.
Cheers,
Dennis
