They are $21 at mouser so I cant see there being a huge discount at volume (50+ is still $17.00) especially when you consider how big a box of 50 of these would be and the associated shipped cost
I am interested. I tried to get a bulk order like this going with a friend who works at a major American component vendor (probably PacTec’s biggest reseller), and at the time she told me PacTec didn’t want to play ball.
But if you can put something together, I am interested in one on the cheap!
