Title: [GB] Holtite Sockets (Switches & LEDs) for CH (Switzerland)
Post by: rioc on Wed, 04 January 2017, 04:25:24
UPDATE: Hi, sorry for my absence... had a pretty stressful time with Exams, some personal stuff that came up, but I ordered in the second week of Feb.
Sockets are about to be shipped soon. (Took longer than expected due to lack of stock of the switch sockets which they had to backorder)
should be on route to me for sorting and packing and then of to you guys :)


_____

only CH orders from now on (sorry, might open a few more slots for EU later)

I'm gonna be ordering a few Holtite Sockets (Cherry Switches and LEDs) for upcoming MKB Projects and thought I'd make a small GB out of it to save some custom taxes / import fees.


Since this is the first GB I'm conducting and my free time is limited due to work, I'll be limiting this GB to buyers from CH (Switzerland) plus ~10 Orders for ppl in Europe (outside of CH (maybe a bit more, tbd.)).


Prices for the Sockets and Shipping will be calculated in advance and Payment is upfront (PayPal). (if the custom taxes are withing reason (around 30-50 CHF), I'll cover those, otherwise there'll be another small invoice after initial delivery dividing up those costs fairly among all who order.)


The more we order, the cheaper the prices (see table below):
(since I'm ordering 300pcs of each socket myself, the table's start from the according price-point)

- Holtite Switch Socket (8134-HC-8P2) (Gold):
Quantity / Price per Piece
200        / 0.272 CHF
500        / 0.260 CHF
1'000     / 0.220 CHF <-

- Holtite LED Socket (8134-HC-5P2) (Gold):
Quantity / Price per Piece
250        / 0.198 CHF
500        / 0.189 CHF
1'000     / 0.154 CHF
2'000     / 0.139 CHF <-
5'000     / 0.129 CHF
10'000   / 0.113 CHF

currently at 2'855 Switch-sockets & 2'055 LED-sockets

ORDER FORM: https://goo.gl/forms/oOyiK2lYLZ7L4jTG3 (https://goo.gl/forms/oOyiK2lYLZ7L4jTG3)
GB will end by the end of January / Mid February

PCB-Compatibility: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K1qt70E2mcuaHBXYrpPHXlpl7FNaXLo0u_TOe67cVdY/pubhtml?gid=986897710&single=true (with the latest RSII+ ver.C PCB Holtites have a perfect to slightly loose fit)


Cheers, RIOC

PS: remember to order 2 Socket's per Switch or LED (since there are 2 contact points per element). Also, if possible, order in multiples of 10 to make it a bit easier. thanks

PPS: since I'm ordering via MOUSER Electronics, I'll only be ordering the Beryllium Copper / Gold Sockets (since the Tin/Lead version is only available in Bulk orders of 5'000 pieces)

PPPS: maybe even get some few spares, those things are tiny. I lost one or two of them already...

PPPPS: 11 of 10 EU orders already in. (might make x of 20 out of this)

Is there a way to see how much I have already ordered?
I may want to add some more for the LED.

EDIT: sorry, misread the question...

ehm, you should be able to edit your response and hence see how much you ordered.

but, did a quick check: you ordered 330 Switch sockets and 120 LED Sockets
