Resuscitating Gainclone parts group buy

[Andypairo]

Since most of the group buy organized by Carondimonio has been closed due to the high minimum number of parts needed I started searching a alternative source for the LM338T I needed.

Luckily I found a shop with a minimum 50 pcs order and a good price for it: only 1,8 Eur/pc

In the diodes section it also carries the MUR1620 (dual 8A diode, parallelable)@0,62 Eur/pc for quantities over 50 pcs.

Looking at the wiki of the previous group buy it seems that the minimum numbers are already reached , of course if those who signed in confirm their interest.

In the meanwhile I asked for delivery times.

Cheers

I may be able to get the parts cheaper than that (I am, but I don't know the minimum quantities ). I can check on Monday, but I think the LM338T should be less than 1,5 €.

It would be great if we could get lm338T in the deal too, I would love to try regulated PSU. They are verry expensive at my regular dealer (about 12 euro!!).

The price I have for the LM338T is actually only about 1€, but I have to check the quantites required.

Are there any other parts I should check?

Maybe the rectifiers specified in the thread and also some Panasonic FC caps should be nice...

Hello Mikkel,
please confirm us the prices and charges, etc for an eventual group buy.

In the meanwhile I looked again and it seems that if we get 100 pcs price would drop to 1,3 Eur /pc.
Still waiting for a reply from the supplier about actual availability on stock.

Cheers

I set up a wiki page to make a survey about the interest in these parts.

Note that, in case mcs points a cheaper souce, it might be him that will handle the purchase.

I have some prices on the LM338T (from National) and the MUR1620CT (from ON Semi) now.

The LM338T costs approx. 0.80€ each and the MUR1620CT approx. 0.35€ each. The LM338T comes in packs of 45 and the MUR1620 in packs of 50.

Approx. 10€ total shipping cost has to be added to the prices.

Best regards,
