Obsolete JFETs

[smallbearelec]

A guy recently ordered 500 2N5484s, and that reminded me that I had to, reluctantly, drop the quantity breaks for all of the types that Fairchild will no longer make in through-hole.

They Will Continue To Be Available For DIY. I have gotten in on the "last buy" with a couple of distributors, and SBE's Obsolete Devices Policy will apply going forward: No bulk sales, DIY and repairs only, and we reserve the right to limit quantities ordered. I don't like having to do this, and it's a conscious business choice: SBE can't be a brokerage for semiconductors. Commercial pedalmakers will adapt, as they can either evolve designs for surface-mount or fish for through-hole on the broker market as I myself have done to secure our stock.
