    Hi,

    I was hoping some might know of a source for floppy drive power connectors.
    What I want is the male (part that is actually on the drive itself).
    I found the part number AMP 171826-4 but the only site I can find that sells them (www.mouser.com) has a minimum order of 500. All I need is 6 of them.

    I tried Digikey, Jameco, did a google search on parts suppliers and checked about 30 sites. The only one that has them is Mouser but I don't need 500 of them.

    Any ideas would where to look.
    Thanks

    As it always happens I find it 10 minutes after I ask for help.

    I found a site that has them for .20 a piece but the shipping is going to kill me 7.50 handling and 4.00 shipping for 1.20 worth of parts but it is still cheaper than buying 500 of them.
    The site is http://www.em.avnet.com/ and do a search for the part number. This site is acting up right now so I will order them tomarrow.
