YM2413B minimum order quantity
Posted: Thu May 10, 2001 9:35 am

I have spoken with Yamaha and the minimum order quantity of YM2413Bs is 1000 pcs. I therefore propose to make a one-off order of 1000 chips, for which I will need to gather as much interest as possible. This isn't as mad as it sounds; the MSX community are also interested in obtaining YM2413 chips and I have mailed them seperately.
Would anyone like some YM2413 chips? The boards will come later; I have already started prototyping a tri-pad board for the SMS 1 expansion connector. Once the chips are here and the design works, I will make some PCBs. Richard |

Could you estimate the price for 1000 pcs? If it is reasonnable, I'm not against picking a bunch myself, to be redistributed to SMS Power whenever we'll have some easy to build FM expansion unit. |

Yes indeed!

Certainly Richard! It largely depends on price (what kind of price per thousand are they talking about?), but I'd be interested in getting a small quantity (<50). Best wishes, Mike |

I'd be interested in a board and a few bare chips, what would you say would be the minimum sub-order from the 1000? |

In a conversation with one of Yamaha's UK distributors, I learned that the unit price when order in 1000s is 765 Japanese Yen for the YM2413B (DIP version). The sales representative converted this into a ball-park figure of 6.50 GBP per unit, again assuming 1000, before postage costs and as a very rough first-order estimate. This is rather a lot higher than I had anticipated; however I am investigating the situation further. There is an alternative distributor I have still yet to try. Richard |

"I only want a few, but I have to buy 100's and I can't find them in any online stores" How many times has this happened to you? "SmallBuys" was created to address this problem. Purchasing small quantities of specialized non luxury goods is a problem because suppliers and online shops won't stock them for fear of them not selling. A typical example of this would be the latest electronic integrated circuits. Developers have to buy in quantity just to evaluate them. SmallBuys at http://www.SmallBuys.co.uk was created to address this problem.
