Sourcing low quantities of EXB-2HV432JV resistor array 4.3K

Question

Hi all,

In a bit of a pickle. Having a board made and populated. The board has been made and on to the assembly stage, it has two EXB resistor arrays on it.

One of them is a 6.8K, which they had in stock and have populated, the other is 4.3K, which they did not have. On being made aware of this I said that I would source and solder the 4.3K one (EXB-2HV432JV).

Unfortunately I can only find them in quantities of 5000 minimum, and I only need ONE! http://www.findchips.com/search/exb-2hv432jv

Can anyone find me (or does anyone have) a small quantity of this component? I am in Nottingham, UK.

Thank you very much,

Alex

4.7k and 47k resistors in parallel will give you 4.3k to under 1% - if you really need that level of tolerance.

So, you could piggy-back a 4.7k and 47k on top of each other. By googling I noticed there are single quantities of those values available (just change the part number digits 432 with 472 and 473 which will correspond to 4.7k and 47k resistors respectively).

It might not be easy to piggy-back them, but might be feasible for a 1-off if you take some time with it (small soldering iron and good tweezers to hold it exactly in place).

Other than getting 5K, check if they will let you sample a few especially if what you do has commercial value and therefore follow on order.

PS. Do you know anyone with a commercial account to sample them for you?
