Obsolete trimmer capacitors

[wayne burdick]

Hi Don,

Looks like 9-50 pF bottom-adjust trimmers are going out of style. See info from Paul below on the part we normally use.

Here are two alternatives, in stock at Mouser, that might work, though these are also "NRND"/"EOL" according to documentation. Would you be interested in testing samples of these on the KX1 and K60XV PCBs so we can buy EOL stock? Paul could have samples sent directly to you.

    81-TZ03P600N169B00   (10-60 pF)
    81-TZ03P450N169B00   (7-45 pF)

Please let me know right away. I can line up someone else if necessary. It would be great to have you try them since you work with these modules so often.

tnx
Wayne

Sorry for the bandwidth, guys. Slip of the email alias :)

Now everyone gets an unexpected peak at the joys of finding substitutes for obsolete parts, in this case for the KX1 and K60XV boards.

Not to worry; we always find alternates or work-arounds.
