james1586 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello all,I'm looking for a Joyin 7N470K varistor, preferably in the US. I have located them in the UK with Rapid, but as I only need a few, the shipping cost makes the purchase a bit ridiculous. Quick specs: 30v, 1.8J, 1150uF, 93v clampI have checked the more common sites like mouser and jameco, but can't seem to locate them. Thanks for any help that you can provide.

james1586 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Well, I found a suitable replacement at Galco Electronics, http://www.galco.com. The cost to ship from the UK was $126 vs Galco, in Michigan, $15. For a couple of bucks worth of supplies it's still high, but at least I can afford it.

Hero999 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Its a bit late now but did you consider using an equivalent?Surely you could have bought a different brand of varistor with a similar breakdown voltage and energy rating.

james1586 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yes, that's what I did. I only specified the original brand so that the group would know it so that they could research it if needed. It turns out to be a difficult find, or it was for me.Thank you for the reply.
