Farnell order

[Byron Collier]

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone needs anything from Farnell? I need to place an order in the next few days for some SMT flat-flex connectors, but I begrudge paying them a £4 surcharge on a £5 order. 

If anyone wants me to tack anything on to the order then I'd be happy to swing by the space and drop it off.

I don't need anything right now but will have a think. Have you had a look to see if you can get the part on CPC? They have a smaller selection but a smaller minimum order as well.

Just had a quick look and it doesn't look like they have *any* FFC connectors at all, let alone the cheap part I've been looking at. All the other "big guys" (Mouser, Digikey, etc) have plenty of options but ridiculous shipping costs.

I'm not ordering for a few days anyway, I have PCBs to design and order first.

They have a section for FFC/FPC connectors, no idea if they have what you want though.

Well I'll be damned; evidently I couldn't see the woods for the trees. Cheers Sean! The cables I have are tabbed and they only offer straight-edge connectors, but that's nothing a craft knife and a steady hand can't fix.

The offer stands though; like I said I'm not ordering for a few days yet.
