Looking for a 30v varistor

[james1586]

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 clamp

I 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.

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.

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.

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.
