I need a 16v 220uF Capacitor. Anyone know where I can find one online?

Digikey lists three if you do the search.

They do... Unfortunately, minimum order is $2000.

I only need ~5.

Do you really expect to find a vendor who has no minimum order and no
outrageous charges for small orders?

I wouldn't.

I dot expect that. All I ask is a vendor without minimum order.

Bull droppings!

There is a $6.00 handling charge for over seas paperwork, plus
shipping. A $5.00 charge is the order id less that #25.00

Those Caps are more than that, so only the $6 and shipping apply.

I do business with Digikey all the time, never had any problem nor
a minimum order! (My buys for prototypes are usually about
$200.00 and they are prompt to ship.

Where do you see that?

I found 4019PHCT-NT at $0.47, minimum order 1. However, you can buy
the same part in a box or reel, where the minimum order is 500 (but
they are only $0.22 that way).

Digikey's minimum order is US$25, I believe. I suspect that any
online supplier will have a minimum order value, as it simply is not
economic to process an order for $2.50 worth of parts.

Most have minimum orders.

http://www.allelectronics.com

has no mimimum but a $6 fixed S/H charge on all orders.

I wouldn't.

Try www.mouser.com . No minimum and generally good prices and
service. Or just stop in a Radio Shack and pay more than you could
have bought them mailorder&shipped.

You can try www.radioshack.com. They re-pack the capacitor and sell at
a relative high price, but it is convenient somehow.

??????? $2000 min order? Where did that come from?

I've done three $25ish orders in the last few weeks (it's amazing how
many ways I can find to blow up the same mos-fet driver, but that's a
different story..)

BTW, my $25+ orders were just so I wouldn't get hit with "HUGE" $5
surcharge on orders less than $25


BTW, Quick search at www.digikey.com for "220uF 16v" gives a bunch of
options. For instance (all with single unit min orders)

Two different Tantalum caps starting at $9.91

One specialty Polymer cap @ $3.08

Nine electrolytic caps starting @ $0.35

BTW, if your in the US, USPS Priority is cheaper than UPS ground, and
a whole heck of a lot faster (two days in my case)

They're as common as dog doo-doo at websites such as Mouser and
Digi-Key.
We all wish you'd "Chase after" your parts "like hell" by doing a simple
google search for them.

 

[Watson A.Name - \Watt Sun, the Dark Remover\]

There are dozens if not hundreds of vendors on Ebay who'll do that for
you. Norm, you're just not looking in the right places. ;-)

BTW, I wish these clueless ISPs that allow you people to post to
nonexistent newsgroups such as sci.electronics would get a clue. That
newsgroup was removed and replaced by the current sci.electronics.*
structure 6 or more years ago. It shouldn't _be_ there.

The vendors on Ebay don't seem to think that's true. They'll sell you a
few bucks of parts and ship 'em for a couple dollars.

And there are plenty of vendors there that are from the UK, judging by
the number of prices that are listed in GBP.

We've propably got some 220/16V radials on the shelf here or at work, if the OP
gives me a mailing address I'll throw some in a jiffy bag for free, but he'll
have to pay the airmail postage.

We have a couple of million resistors and capacitors of all types in the
workshop downstairs, I'll have to make up a list so I can get them moved on,
they take up a LOT of room! Elco's we don't hold on to, only ceramics, poly and
some of the high-range Tant's.

As far as the web interface goes, I picked the cap I wanted, and entered a
quantity of "5". It wouldn't let me proceed, until I entered a quantity
of 2000.

Perhaps there are ways around this, but the web interface was quite clear.

Excellent suggestion! Just found a few!

Thanks,
