I don't really know how the prices compare but I have bought, like, 100 at a time in the past more than once, and have been completely satisfied, from Newark: Phone: 1-800-4-NEWARK || Website: http:/
Go directly to the manufacturers if you can meet their minimum $$ amount. When I was buying from Micrometals and Fairite about 15 years ago it was around $200 and the discount from Amidon was substan
I haven't bought in large quantities but I've always had good service from Amidon, https://www.amidoncorp.com/ Regards, Galen, W8LNA _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list
I use Lodestone Pacific in CA. http://www.lodestonepacific.com/ As a suggestion...know the *manufacturer's* part numbers of the cores you want before you call. They don't use simplfied part numbers
Yesss! That's why I mentioned Bytemark: they market Amidon now! Alex 4Z5KS I haven't bought in large quantities but I've always had good service from Amidon, https://www.amidoncorp.com/ Regards, Gale
Amidon doesn't MAKE these parts. They BUY stuff, put their own part numbers on it, and sell it at OBSCENE MARKUPS (typically 4- 5 times their cost). I've helped organize group purchases for several h
I just purchased $450 worth of Fair-Rite parts last week for our club. I checked prices at Newark, Mouser,and Allied. Two weeks ago Allied had lower prices than the others. Suddenly when I was ready

Over the past few months I've had great success with micrometals and mag-inc, both have let me purchase small quantities as well as larger amounts. They've even been kind enough to send samples. 73,
Try this guy. He is about 1/4th the price of the others. Fast delivery. I just bought a few dozen items from him. http://kitsandparts.com/index.php 73 Gary K4FMX _____________________________________
ok, micrometals material codes are completely different from Fair-Rite. so, what does Fair-Rite #31 = in MMetals? ditto question of F-R #43 = in MMetals?? which are ceramic ferrite and which are iron
They are not "different codes." they are VERY DIFFERENT MATERIALS, have VERY different properties, and used for different purposes. Micrometals makes powered iron, which are primarily used for induct
Good point. Since we're on the topic, I've seen references to Fair-Rite #31 toriod cores in various places, but haven't been able to find any in their catalog. Do they actually exist in the wild? Bea
Aha! I hadn't thought to check the "cable core" dimensions for one that looks like a toroid. That was the missing piece. They don't specifically have toroids in #31, but they have cable cores with th

Sometimes I get the feeling that folks don't bother to read what I took great pains to learn and write about this. REPEATING: Appendix One of my tutorial lists the Fair-Rite part numbers of selected
It isn't necessarily a "don't bother to" scenario. Do you have time to read even a fraction of the postings and references in all the information that passes your desk every day? Unfortunately, I don
