Ok, I ordered like 6 packs off of your site! Can't wait to get them.
Thanks a ton. Hope to order more from you in the future.

Hey peale I just realized I've been using 26 gauge wire and not 22. Will the red disconects still work for me or is there another color I should be getting. If there is a better color could you order it for me and switch out my order? Thanks

Daaaaamn, son! What are you building? That's 600 QDs!

The reds are the smallest they make. 26G is pretty small, so you may want to bend it over itself to double it up. I'm guessing you're using CAT5 or similar?

Actually they Red are not the samallest QDs, (there are tiny yellow ones) but the smaller ones are very hard to find. And I don't imagine it would me much fun crimping them either as you probably require a special tool for ones that small.

Do you still have my backorder?

The color denotes wire gauge. Yellow is for *really* big wire, like 10G or so. Unless there is something that is breaking the color standard, of course...

Um...what's your RealLife(tm) name? PM me, all orders should be out except for a couple that I just got.

Check out the following link: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/619/878.pdf
24-26 AWG .250 and .187 fully insulated QDs and they are yellow. They must have run out of imagination when they were selecting colours.

I will send you an e-mail tomorrow with the backorder information...getting late.

SirPeale · « **Reply #83 on:** October 11, 2004, 07:07:52 pm »

I'd noted a serious slack in sales on the disconnects. And thanks to Buddabing, now I know why...

Guess the shopping cart software has a few more kinks that need to be worked out. When someone shops there, and puts an item in their cart, the inventory drops by that amount. Good if they check out...bad if they don't. I just checked, and the site was reading 'out of stock' on all the disconnects! I've got stock here, so I checked the database. It was reading in the negative numbers!

Anyway...to sum up, I've got them in stock, and will *definitely* reorder if there is sufficient demand.

Speaking of demand, I've had a couple requests for .250" QDs. Anyone else want some?

wdw_ryan · « **Reply #84 on:** October 12, 2004, 09:26:58 pm »

I'd be interested in the .250 QDs. Have you ever considered selling Male QDs?

Thanks,
Ryan

Male ones? I asked a while ago about them, and there was nearly zero interest.

wdw_ryan · « **Reply #86 on:** October 13, 2004, 07:23:40 pm »

Thanks, Peale. I guess I'm the only one who wants to extend a Mini-PAC wiring harness. $:-\$

Glad to be of service.

Is everything fixed now?

SirPeale · « **Reply #88 on:** October 14, 2004, 02:13:40 pm »

Nothing *I* can fix. I just have to keep an eye on the quantities online, and update it in realtime.

Grok · « **Reply #89 on:** October 21, 2004, 01:25:20 am »

Hey Peale, a few quick questions before I place a order.
Please don't shoot the newbie until he finishes and starts running.

I know...
- .187" & .250" is the size of the disconnect.
(HAPPS pushbutton microswitch is .187)
doesn't say on joystick but guess its the same.

- the color is the size gauge of the wires used.
- lower number gauge is 'thicker' than higher number.

Now the question...
Is the wire gauge a personal preference or some technical reason
we should use a particular gauge for certain connections like
ground, +5 and such. Seems like most people uses 20-22 gauge.

Thanks for any reply.

It depends on what you're using it for. If you're using it for electrical connections, you'd want a heavier gauge wire (16G or so). For data connections, smaller wire will do fine (20g-22g)

Back in stock! Click the link in my .sig to take you right to the site.

SirPeale · « **Reply #92 on:** October 26, 2004, 02:25:44 am »

Just a gentle *bump*. There were at least seven board members interested in my restocking, and at least three wanted the .250" disconnects. I haven't heard from *anybody* yet.

XtraSmiley · « **Reply #93 on:** October 26, 2004, 04:46:06 pm »

Arggh, I forgot all about these, I'll order as soon as I get a break from class.

wdw_ryan · « **Reply #94 on:** October 26, 2004, 04:51:25 pm »

I'm just waiting for the tubular locks to come in to place my order tomorrow...

Ah HAH! So it was YOU all along!

Seriously...good reason.

And if anyone is going to buy, they should likely start soon. My last post seems to have started the sales rolling.

I put my order in and paid via paypal, hearingprotection@yahoo.com but it then restarted the order process. Is your site working? Did you get my order? Thanks.

SirPeale · « **Reply #98 on:** October 27, 2004, 04:43:06 pm »

Nope, that's normal. It's an open source shopping cart system that has a few quirks. It's also not set up too fancy (as you can plainly see). It does what I need it to do, though. Your order went thru just fine.

SirPeale · « **Reply #99 on:** December 28, 2004, 01:34:07 pm »

Out of the reds. Before I restock, I need to know the demand for them.

Erm, just to get the ball rolling (already answered in the other thread)..

I'd like some!

Thanx!

testicle187 · « **Reply #101 on:** December 28, 2004, 07:06:24 pm »

I am also interested in the .187 connectors. I need about 300 or more of them sometime. THanks,

David Briggs

NiteWalker · « **Reply #102 on:** December 29, 2004, 10:07:40 am »

I need 2 bags of blue .187s and 2 bags of red .187s. Let me know when you're back in stock. To be paid on tuesday. I did have a pretty cheap source($6.25 per bag) but It didn't include shipping.Let me know I'll be ordering about 200 or more a week. Thanks.

SirPeale · « **Reply #103 on:** December 29, 2004, 10:24:29 am »

I do have blue, but not red.

Keep it coming, guys. I'd like about a 800 piece 'pre-order' and so far I've got about 500. More would be better.

It's funny...sometimes I'll sell completely out of QDs in less than a week, and other times I won't sell any for a couple months. Need for QDs comes and goes, I guess.

jfunk · « **Reply #104 on:** December 29, 2004, 10:54:11 am »

Just so you know, I was gonna order 2 bags of reds.. If they're coming in any time soon.. If gonna be a while, I'll probably have to get a small bag from elsewhere.. But will still get at least one from you..

THANX!

SirPeale · « **Reply #105 on:** December 29, 2004, 11:35:51 am »

Soon would be within the next couple weeks, yeah. Takes roughly a week to get them to me.

200 or more a week, for how long? Going to do a bulk order?

NiteWalker · « **Reply #107 on:** December 29, 2004, 01:14:16 pm »

I build joysticks so as long as there's demand for custom joysticks. Maybe a bulk order but I want you to keep stocking parts

Try to get some other stuff in.

SirPeale · « **Reply #108 on:** January 19, 2005, 08:04:33 am »

They're in. See the details in my sig.

jmelan · « **Reply #109 on:** January 20, 2005, 09:45:40 am »

I'm new here, so maybe I'm missing something, but the website still shows the .187 red disconnects as out of stock.

I would like to order 2 bags if possible.

Thanks

*sigh* that happens when people 'fake shop' - ie they put the items in their shopping cart, but then don't check out. It's a bug in the shopping cart software. I'll take care of it in a bit.

SirPeale · « **Reply #111 on:** February 26, 2005, 10:38:21 pm »

Out of stock again - any interest? I have one person that I know wants them.

cholin · « **Reply #112 on:** February 26, 2005, 11:14:02 pm »

Hey Peale, Im interested too. Ill need a pack of red .187s for buttons and a pack of red .250s for Tstiks. I need to know about shipping to Canada though, and maybe paying in Canadian dollars because it saves me money in retarted conversion rates

M3talhead · « **Reply #113 on:** February 27, 2005, 05:39:14 am »

Ditto.

A wiring kit would be nice. When do you think you'll be restocked?

Depends on how many people need QDs, and how quickly. Fast moving inventory is always a good thing, and usually when I restock I can count on one thing: three or four initial orders, then hanging on to inventory for another couple months, while it trickles out in sporadic orders. Likely it's a combination of the web interface I use and people leery of sending money to 'some guy.'

I can actually probably do the wiring kit straight away, just need to look and see what I've got left.

cholin · « **Reply #115 on:** February 27, 2005, 12:45:50 pm »

Yeah, Im not too weary about sending money to some guy either. Could we talk about Canada too please in the fact of shipping and payment? If it comes out to be worth it on my end, count me in for a pack or two.

SirPeale · « **Reply #116 on:** February 27, 2005, 01:16:51 pm »

Generally for postage to .ca an extra buck covers it. The stuff on my site is one thing I generally don't send Global Priority, unless there's a lot of it.

cholin · « **Reply #117 on:** February 27, 2005, 01:49:06 pm »

Do you accept Canadian funds or do I need to make a US account

Actually, I will make a US account anyways for all the other stuff Ill buy. So that makes $7 US for each pack.

SirPeale · « **Reply #118 on:** February 27, 2005, 01:51:09 pm »

Actually, I meant *just* $1.00 additional, not $1.00 additional each bag. And yes, I only take American dollars. Sorry!

cholin · « **Reply #119 on:** February 27, 2005, 04:19:38 pm »

All the better

Tell me if/when you order some, Ill see if I can get my account working. I can get a good rate on US dollars too, even better than it already is considerring my mom works at a bank
