Resuscitating Gainclone parts group buy

[Andypairo]

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.

The prices from the former group buy dropped at less than half but the interest seems pretty low... maybe a matter of visibility?

I checked some more prices.

My supplier currently has 36 MUR1520 in stock at 0.45€ each. When they don't have them in stock, the minimum order is 1100 pcs.

LM3886TF cost 3.25€ each (in packs of 20).

I also saw LM317 and 337 mentioned somewhere. They cost 0.20€ and 0.34€ each in packs of 50.

Added last items to the wiki.

Mikkel, at this time I think I should retire as "organizer" and leave the command to you.

Is that ok?

If no one else is interested, i could order 5 more 338's, then we have 45 of those, and 2*50 of the rectifiers!?

 

[mcs]

I don't mind keeping a few leftover parts. But I don't need 40 LM338s for instance

No, the maximum difference between the input and output voltage is 37V - there's no maximum input voltage.

so i can use the lm338 to regulate my psu to +-42V then?

edit: so when my psy gives cloase to +-45-46V then i can regulate it upto 37V with the lm338? that is what those 37v is?

Yes, if you have +/-45V or more available.

edit: so when my psy gives cloase to +-45-46V then i can regulate it upto 37V with the lm338? that is what those 37v is?

The 37V means that the output should be 9V or more with 46V in. The only thing you have to remember is that the regulator will not be short circuit protected. And remember all the protection diodes mentioned in the datasheet

When should this group buy be closed? I don't really care, but some people may want their parts in this century

The LM338T count is currently at 56, which is a bit unpractical

I think it should be closed as soon as possible, people tend to loose interest after a while...

But we are 34 pcs short of LM338T's, so come on people... only 0,80 euro a piece, thats CHEAP!

How much would it cost to send 10 of these to Canada ? As an alternative, my sister lives in Switzerland. How much would it cost to send them there ?

 

[demogorgon]

sorry, but i got them even cheaper at a webshop here in norway, so i will not be attending after all. (3pack for 0.60euro!!)

You can check the cost here: http://www.postdanmark.dk/contentfull.dk?lang=en

A "large letter" is less than 2cm thick, and a "maxi letter" is bigger than that. If you are not ordering too many items a large letter should be big enough.

Divide the prices with 7.43 to get the prices in €.

[dezzz]

And I just signed on for a pathetic number of 4 * LM338T...

Hope it is not too late...

 

[Edgar]

If Mikkel could take the 15 missing lm317 we could close this GB with nice round numbers...

@Blackdog:
You may be able to get the LM3886TFs from Carondimonio (see the Trading Post). I can order a pack of 20 like mentioned previously if Carondimonio doesn't have any left.

Should we keep this groupbuy open during the weekend, and then close it on Monday?

I don't mind keeping a few leftover parts, should there be any.
