Neutrik Jack NRJ6HF available down under?

[nomorebetts]

Does anyone know of where I can get a Neutrik NRJ6HF jack in Australia or via online without exorbitant shipping costs?

Mouser wants to charge me $39 lol  http://imgur.com/O9Azwen

A project I'm building requires this specific jack to fit the PCB unfortunately.

"This order qualifies for discounted shipping".

pheww, you wouldn't want to have to pay FULL PRICE shipping for an 80c part.

does it have to be neutrik? couldn't one of the look-alikes suffice?

Banzai is somewhat reasonable (much better than Mouser in any case):

Tayda also stock a close clone:

I've use them in place of Neutrik jacks on board layouts in Eagle and they work fine.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

I'll look further into Banzai when I get home tonight as they list a number of different shipping options which seems promising.  Surely one is reasonable???

Otherwise I'm more than happy to use a clone, it just needs to have the same dimensions as the NRJ6HF which is more compact than usual.

I was going to suggest jaycar, but I think theirs has whacko pins that stand too tall. and are too expensive.

How about this, from altronics.

Its pins probably won't line up, but its slightly smaller than the neutrik one so you could probably make it work...

I bit the bullet and ordered one from Banzai along with an Accutronics BTDR reverb chip.  Postage costs wasn't too bad in the end.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
Cheers

If I'm in a pickle, altronics or jaycar.... but tayda has always been the go
I just make sure I order the jacks in bulk!
