Title: [IC] 1.8mm LEDs
Post by: sethk_ on Thu, 02 July 2015, 23:56:56: Hi, was looking into running a GB for 1.8mm LEDs, and I would be getting them from an aliexpress store. Available colors:
Yellow

Green

Red

Blue

White

Pink
(http://i.gyazo.com/7be7f6fab2de76abf23b05808244e9fa.png)

These are about 2c-5c each, and each has an MOQ of 1000.
I am sure I could get the price lower if I talk to the supplier, which I will try and do while the IC runs.

Yes! These are actually shorter, so you shouldn't have any clearance issues like some 3mm and 2x3x4mm rectangle LEDs

I guess it depends how tight you placed your SIP sockets.

Some of the 1.8mm LEDs I got from this vendor on eBay (colorfulplace888 (http://stores.ebay.com/colorfulplace888)) had some minor defects in the plastic molding so those ones were painful to swap !

I think I will leave it open for 3 weeks to a month, and I have no estimate on shipping time, but LEDs are small and easy, so I will pick up packaging for INT orders right when it starts. Hopefully they will be packaged in a week after they arrive. I will have help sorting these so it should go quickly.

I think so. They are pre-separated from the plastic sleeves, so they are ~13c each. I personally like using these more and don't mind the premium since they are pre-separated.

A little disappointed on the SIP price. They are available ~8c each on mouser when you buy 10 just units (64 pieces each). The little sleeves pop off easily with flush cutters, not that much of an inconvenience imo. I'm still in for a big order of LEDs though!

EDIT: Forgot to acknowledge that the Zeal SIP sockets are slightly different than the MillMax ones on mouser. Both have worked great for me though, no preference for one or the other.

I believe that the long tail version of these sockets are sold out at Mouser, but I found it at Newark: http://www.newark.com/mill-max/311-93-164-41-001000/sip-socket-64-position-through/dp/17C4915?categoryId=800000006540

Buying 100 of these sockets make the cost near 10c each.

Used this (http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/273/065-259662.pdf) datasheet as a guide.

I've since changed to a different type of SIP socket from what you've purchased. My individually removed SIP sockets have a ~5mm long soldering tail.

Milmax ones have a solder tail that's roughly 4.3mm. The ones I stock have a 5mm tail. :)

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to - most GBs do not have a minimum quantity per person. But that these prices why would you want to?

As far as Zeal's SIP goes, I can do 1.25 USD, that way shipping is covered, and that is at 1500 SIPs ordered. The other one I won't charge anything, I don't mind picking up shipping from mouser.

You said "~13c each" before, and now this "1.25 USD" figure has me confused... that's not "1.25 USD each", right?

packs of 10, those would be some expensive SIP sockets lol

And the 1500 SIPs is in total, so 150 packs of 10x

I found these:
http://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Mill-Max/311-93-164-41-001000/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMs%2fSh%2fkjph1tvt1%2fmEPT%2fXoN71pDqWYWck%3d

Used this (http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/273/065-259662.pdf) datasheet as a guide.

EDIT: These are the same as VinnyCordeiro's. Stock is at 47 and 183 are on order @mouser.

I actually use these: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=FG09h9tFCuDdUpubgidmTQ%3d%3d

They have gold contact plating, long leads that poke through the PCB. Yeah, with shipping they come to about 9c each at 10 packs, so I'll probably go with them. Popping them out of the housing is simple enough.

The only difference between these two are the materials, I will go with the cheaper one.
