Searching for [one off] NAT7210APD

[etcal]

Hi, recently I posted asking for buffer chips 75160 & 75161. This post was successful in finding some. Thanks

However, I now require a single replacement GPIB processor NAT7210APD.

NI sell them, however they have an MOQ of 9 at £15 ea.
Does anyone have a working spare or stock of these?

I have already tried...

Thanks

Here's just a few of many hits from Google, I did not look into minimum orders or pricing.

Thanks, I am aware of the many parts distributors on the web, however, I will only use them as a last resort as many have ridiculous MOQ in the 1000s!

I'd like to ask people directly if they have stock around.
The question was aimed towards people rather than companies.

You may want to call in. There may be a sample kit available that has smaller quantities.

I phoned NI. They did have a kit with a single NAT7210, but it is now obsolete. They will only sell in tubes of 9 and won't break a tube.

So, I'm still looking for 1 or 2off from any individual who purchased these in the past.

If we bite the bullet and purchase 9, would anybody be interested in helping shift 7 of the things? 🙂

You might try searching for NAT7210BPD instead of NAT7210APD. The A was obsoleted several years ago and the B is a drop-in replacement.

I always find it useful to drop the suffix for searches. I tried all the sites I listed above with search term 'NAT7210'. The suffix is only useful for package type and temperature range etc

I've now purchased 9off 😞 Anyone interested in buying single units? If I'm not allowed to offer sales on this forum, forget I said anything...

So, as a summary to others reading this thread.
1) The NAT7210 can only be purchased in 9's from NI.
2) NI do not sell a sample kit containing one off.
3) Other places (found via google or similar) may have large MOQs.
4) I have 7 Spare NAT7210's
