Buying Cherry stabilizers from Onlinecomponents.com
« on: Sat, 03 May 2014, 01:46:13 »
I'm trying to buy some stabilizers for the upcoming Duck Viper groupbuy, and have been told by several folks to get them here:http://www.onlinecomponents.com/suppliers/cherry-electrical-177/
But perhaps I'm blind, stupid, or some unfortunate combination of the two, because I can't seem to find them there.

Are they called something other than stabilizers?

yah, what you want are the "leveling kits" from the MX datasheet

http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/key/mx.htm

G99-07xxx is the pcb mount stabilizer part numbers. OLC has a reasonable number in stock right now. fallout from manufacturing politics.

Alright, this is what comes up when I search for those part numbers:
63437-0

I've never sourced parts like this; am I going about it the wrong way?

yep, you're good. the 0g990742 part is for 2x-3x keys and the G990744 is for an 8x spacebar. that is the stabilizer wire is longer than you need for a 6.25 or 7x SB. you have to cut and rebend it with a duro-bro wire bender and a pair of leveraged cutters.

Since I'm looking for a viper, I'm going to need one out these, too.

Thanks for the heads up.

Do they have MX locks too? And IMO best way to get PCB mounted stabs is buying old POS boards and selling the switches and keeping the stabs

Is that what we'd need for Viper?
