Pass F5m

Lquam says he has been ordering parts from polida. I haven’t ordered from this source. The pictures match the parts I have received from Newark.

From Lhquam:
My source for FETs was the EBay seller Polida Electronics Ltd. For $14.99 + $5.00 shipping you can order 5 pairs of FQA28N15+FQA36P15.

Yes, they are becoming scarce. Newark still has stock available, and Ebay seller POLIDA is a source for genuine parts.

We will need to find alternate parts before long. The IXTQ36N30P is another part that I have in mind for the F6, and it has a likely P-channel match.

from octopart FQA28N15 is still available and we can buy them with more peace of mind :

The chassis that I used for my F5m has reappeared on Ebay. For some reason it disappeared from my lists for a while.

It is a little more expensive than I remember, but comes with a good kit of fasteners, AC inlet and power switch.

Hopefully this isn't inappropriate, but I just received 100 FQ28N15 ONSEMI from Newark, 10 are spoken for and I will keep a couple dozen +/-. If anyone is interested, before shipping they are $1.90/ea plus shipping, let me know if interested in private conversation.

Not at all, sharing the cost to get reduced pricing on a hard to find part is very helpful.
Maybe you could put this on swap meet, and post a link in post #265.
