Re: A Couple Clarifications From Cardas
WRT the price of the 1-lb roll of solder.[/B]
The solder is one of the few item from Cardas where there is a significant quantity discount. DIYCable will not be able to take advantage of that discount with our quantities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What quantity is required? Good solder is difficult to get and I wonder if we can persuade people to take part.
Otherwise, are there other recommendations, especially for people in Europe.
WBT solder doen't do my lings any good at all. Quite Foul. TRT solder is difficult to get in the fine size needed for SMT work. Kester doen't specify silver content clearly.

Re: Re: A Couple Clarifications From Cardas
I will try to contact Cardas today, but for sure by Monday to see if there is anything that can be done. Although, I would expect half price or anything like that. May a few dollars off.fmak said:WRT the price of the 1-lb roll of solder.

Kester Eutectic Solder is SN63/37, Lead and tin no silver content. You can not really have true Eutectic solder with any other mix. The special feature of SN63/37 is that it's melting point is exactly 463 Deg. and it's plastic state is only a few degrees wide reducing the chance of cold solder joints or fractures. It is not superior in regards to conductivity such as silver content solders. The more silver however the more difficult it becomes to control the plastic state. The costs involved are not a measure of it's contents but rather a reflection of production costs over other formulas. I was trained in Mil Spec production techiniques in my formative years in Military contracting and this is all they would certify for production use.

I realize it is a bit late to ask questions, but does somebody know why the CTFA's are so different from the GRFA's? These are both female RCA's. It is obvious from the website picture that the GRFA's have the nut in front and CTFA's the rear, but the picture hints at something else more complex going on in the rear.
This post last years sale shows a closeup of the GRFA RCA connectors. the GRFA connectors has an intregal solder lug on the rear of the body. It is difficult to solder to, but is one piece so you can't beat the ground connection. The CTFA has a separate solder lug like most other RCA connectors.leadbelly said:

The latest news is that I have been scheduled to attend a meeting,... in Japan. I will be leaving March 2nd, 03/02/04 for one week and will return on March 9th.
What does this do for the bulk purchase?
It will only cause a slight delay.
Anyone making their payment with PayPal, thank you.
I will only accept check that are drawn on US banks, and only as a last resort. All checks have to clear my bank and PayPal which is a 10 day process. This is too long and will delay everyones order. Therefore if you cannot make your payment with PayPal, money orders are next prefered.
These payment should be made and in my hands by next Monday.
I would like to place the order to DIYCable as soon as I return. I will not be able to do this if there are too many outstanding payments. This will delay delivery for everyone.
I will continue to answer price requests through until Wednesday at midnight.
All orders must be in by Sunday at midnight, EST.
I will send the total charge to you via email. This is your invoice.
