Inflation strikes again!

I got a good laugh out of this:



21 cents each or 8.5 cents in quantities of 100 at Mouser!! Plus shipping in either case.

I do remember a certain manufacturer, a few years before pandemic, raised their minimum parts price to $1.00....so that the washers I used to pay 0.10/each suddenly became $1.00/each! So much for the "save the research time and get it direct from the manufacture"

I will point out that you can get free shipping with only 5 of them at Full Compass

I also remember when Crydom was bought out, my cost for a 40A SSR went from $22/each no minimum to $75/each under 100 pieces overnight. Turns out that it is now cheaper to purchase a SSR from the manufacturer than a supplier.

No worries Scott - just finance one at a dollar a month for three years!
