[volt-nuts] PCB fasteners for Datron meters (David C. Partridge)

[David C. Partridge]

I now have prices from Essentra (was Richco) for their SLG-2S-B grommet and SLPB-2S-B pin which appear to be an exact match for the Southco Nylatch parts.

I'm being sent samples which should be with me tomorrow or Friday so I can check they do actually work.

On the assumption that I order at least 150, the pricing appears quite attractive, at GBP7 per 20 (grommet and pin) plus shipping from UK.

GBP7 is about USD10.20

I searched Amazon with both Southco part numbers and they appear to show that they are available for order.

$0.23 for the grommet  http://amzn.com/B01DYYNHP8

$0.21 for the plunger  http://amzn.com/B01DYYL66K

Shipping is not cheap at a fixed $6.50 for each part number. Selecting a total of 30 each does not affect shipping.

Of course, the "In Stock" status could be wrong ...
