Ordering the TSOP34840 Infrared Receivers

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to figure out how to order more of the sensors provided in the kit of parts--I couldn't find them at DigiKey, Mouser, RadioShack, or FutureActive. The supplier listed in the kit of parts is NewarkInOne, but they have a minimum order limit of 2,160 sensors.

I also tried searching google for the part number, but the only results were related to the FRC.

Has anybody else found a place to order the sensors from?

Thanks

This is the part I found, here. Click on buy and it should show you a cart with 2160 items in it. I also tried calling them to order, but they told me that the minimum order still applied.

It doesn't seem to matter since they have 0 in stock and there's a 47 day lead time required.
We bought a dozen of the TSOP4840's from Newark rather than these.

I think I see the problem...
When I first downloaded the pdf the part number was TSOP4840 and that is the part I looked up at Newark. The TSOP34840 is the 3.3 volt power supply version. I believe the kit list may have a typo and it should really be the 4840 which is a 5 volt device, hence the ease in getting it from Newark (lead time on the 34840 was 47 days BTW) I will check into this and hopefully Kevin Watson will see the post and let all of know for sure.

Go ahead and get the TSOP4840 device. All of the development was done with this device and I know it works. Actually, I suspect that they're the same device. When they go to screening, the parts that pass at 3.3 volts probably just get dumped in the TSOP34840 bin.
