Board to board connectors?

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:

1-5316560-1 1-5353187-1

They 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 eBay.com digikey.com, alliedelect.com or radioshack.com cannot sell me these.

Can you recommend a good source that can sell me prototype quantities of these parts?

Thanks!

Chill Winston.

So man, enjoy your Sunday.

Phone up the maker mans head office next week and speak to the woman in sales. She'll have all this database on the line and tell you where the shit was last delivered. Be nice and she'll give you the cross referenced part number.

Thanks! You too.

I found three places that stock the connectors or can get them easily, so that isn't an issue. It's just that they won't sell me fewer than ~3600 parts when I only want to buy 100 pieces of each.

I posted to sci.electronic.components as Graham suggested, so perhaps someone wants to turn their stock into cash.

Thanks for your thoughts

If I really wanted to be a bastard I'd tell you 100 off for that sort of component is something close to a production run for some expensive shit that some idiot managed to stick the wrong number in your stock control list and you're just pissing about trying to fulfill a promise.

Development........ my arse.

I've got great heaping bunches of Berg 84553-101 that I have been trying to unload. 300 pins, 10x30 array, 50 mil centers.

For a tiny fraction of their retail price.

Don, you are one of my all time heros; it pains me that I don't need those connectors at the moment.

I shall keep an eye on your auctions for my SMT connectors, however!

Best regards

Thanks, though.
