Hi all,
Electus distribution have the RD3480 light dependant resistor for around $1 in large quantities, but I would assume these should be around the 20 cent or less mark.
I am after about a thousand of them. Any leads for suppliers? I usually buy from futurlec but they don't stock these.
thanks!
Altronics have the Z1619 for around $0.14 ea in bulk lot (50+) wholesale Not sure if it's the same spec though.
Even Farnell have them for $0.89ea in 1000 lot (316-8335)
Dave :)
Thanks for the lead. David.
Spec is not too critical. Should be fine.
Nope, just got a quote back from Altronics. They want $0.60 per unit. for
1400 units. Any more ideas? Surely I should find something for around 20c each. After all they are used in kids toys all the time.
You are correct Phil. Dave has made an error - the price you are checking Dave is the "price per 10" for 50 pcs = $7.10+ gst - it is
*not* $7.10 for 50 pcs! I have been caught out by this before and thought I was getting an exceptionally good price - unfortunately there is still no such thing as a free lunch!Andy
Oops, you are right, sorry about that Phil! The wholesale price list is a tad confusing.
Dave :)
Try to get a quote directly from a manufacturer in China here:

Use cheap green 5mm LED's instead.
