SemiSouth on ebay

[grataku]

I found a vendor on ebay for SJEP120R100.
I am not posting the link here for the ad is easy enough to find on ebay.
Does anybody have any experience? Are these the real deal?
They are HELLA-expensive!

If they are from China you can be absolutely certain they are fake.

 

[grataku]

They are shipped from Cali. I take it you don't know.

This might help too: SJEP120R100 on ebay: are these the real thing?

Thread is a year old though

You didn't post the link.

 

[grataku]

Thanks. Looks like they are the real thing then.

I seem to have got the genuine article from China, used SJEP120R63 (utsource)

I tested with the DMM method here as well as in situ in babelfish 2j.

The Semisouth thread linked above also has interesting reading at the start of the thread and in the attached pdf in post #2.

Yes but then later on in another post he said they looked OK. Then from that thread I arrived to another dude that bought them from the same vendor (capacitordistributor) for the J2 or the AJ.

I don't know how you guys do it finding anything around here...

littlediode, utsource, polida are the main fake components sellers on ebay..

I commented that the markings were not identical to mine.

It's not too hard to distinguish them if you actually test them.

Real R100's will conduct an amp or so with Vgs = 1.2V

Not that many generic Mosfets will do so.

@NP
are these the parts you were referring to?

Oh man.. what a price.
But this guy registered in 2010 from USA and have 99.9% positive feedbacks.
Chances he have real deal is high.

 

[grataku]

Yeah, the price is scary.

 

[Nelson Pass]

In that case, I'm rich, Biotch!

Are these the real thing from ebay

I bought these parts from capacitordistributor before. I got the real thing. But the price seems to go through the roof...
