AFT Microswitch (Omron D2FW-G)
Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 12:44 pm
The D2FW-G073M is a 0.1A SPST NO short leaf microswitch that I reckon is the match for the four AFT microswitches. Farnell do this. The D2FW-G071M is the SPDT version, RS Electronics do this. Firstly, can anyone confirm the part selection, and/or suggest alternative(s)?
Both parts quoted above are US stock (high postage, but one off charge), both have MOQ of 1, both have first price break at 25+ but this only saves 40-50p (about 8% cost). Based on Farnell's current pricing for the D2FW-G073M, ordering 10 would come out a little under ~£8 a piece inc del+VAT - perhaps a little more for the end users taking into account onward P&P. This drops to £6-£7 if ordering 25 units.
Show of hands for interested parties - is it worth considering a Group Buy for these? If I get 5 names, I'd consider taking the risk on an order of 10, and reselling the rest here at cost. Equally happy to cede to another, esp. if order quantity goes up significantly as I have little capital.
