Hello all,
I've got a problem with a part that is obsolescent; a year ago it was a stock part at (eg) Mouser but now the manufacturer has a 1,000 MOQ on it and there is no stock anywhere in the world. This is a US $15-20 part, it's a universal AC input 17-watt 3.3V SMPSU.
I need a reasonable quantity which it seems won't be found on the NOS market, but is only 10% of the MOQ.
I need the exact part. (Metalwork exists, part was better value than others similar).
This has to be a recurring problem.
Is there some forum anywhere for posting a call for other users, or is this the exclusive domain of the commercial broker?
Rgds,
Martin.
