Board to board SMT connectors?

Question

Hello everybody,I'm in Silicon Valley, California, USA and I'm developing a product that must mate to an existing assembly.  I seek about 100 pieces each of these Tyco/AMP/Aces parts within the next 30 days:1-5316560-11-5353187-1They are 0,6 mm center distance 160 pin SMT board - to - board connectors.All three vendors I contacted want reasonable money for these parts, but require 3500 - piece minimum purchases for each part number. I *could* buy them but that would blow the budget for the rest of the parts I need.'Other vendors' have quoted full retail price with doubled lead times!I found that    or  cannot sell me these.Can you recommend a good source that can sell me prototype quantities of these parts?Thanks!-- Winston

Winston,I have been trying to locate those part numbers on the Tyco websitewithout any joy.The closest I can find are;Are these the items you require? These part no's don't have the '5'after the leading 1- as in your specification. It might make adifference....

Unless some large OEM has some over from a productionrun (difficult to imagine for such a specialised use product such asthis) then you are stuck with having to order MOQ and wait.Unfortunately, if you are building for a customer, he is likely tobaulk at having to pay for the unused portion of the stock indent -and if you don't charge him then you will be stuck with something youmay not use in the future.Good luck.
