Wanting to Buy CD Changer connector

[viv.g]

Hey guys,

Looking to buy one of the cd changer connectors (827229-1) link to connector 

I'm based in Perth, Western Australia. Any chance anyone has a spare one floating around? Just finished building my board but didn't realise it was a 4 week turn around time for a connector :(

feel free to send me an email or private message ([e-mail])

Cheers,

Viv

Viv,

I wasn't that impressed with Connector People (they don't even have proper on-line payment), so took a chance on getting free samples from the manufacturer, Tyco (TE connectivity). I asked for three, but only got approval from them to provide 1; took just under 4 business days for sample order approval, but dispatch was lightning fast. Arrived next day to Sydney from Europe via UPS!

http://www.te.com/usa-en/product-827229-1.html, then click "Get Sample" button. You have to register and provide some project information justifying the need for samples.

Worth a try. Not sure there's a better alternative. "Online Components" have a price match option you could try (since Connector People's price is better) at http://www.onlinecomponents.com/te-connectivity-amp-brand-8272291.html?p=10511571, select "Price Match Request", but I'm not sure they'd bother for 1 unit, since their base price is over $25 USD.

Haven't tried this but Aliexpress will do 5 for $40.80 USD, and the delivery speed is worse than you reported for Connector People.

Cheers,
Sam.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to say that Sam's idea above worked.

Took about 4-5 business days for TE Connectivity to respond to the sample request but they approved my request for 3.

It was shipped two days ago. Hoping to see them soon!

Cheers for the help.

Yay, good on you!

Let us know how it goes with the final assembly and performance of the module.
