[Amps] Price Alert: UM4006D PIN Diodes for Alpha 87A/89

[Paul Christensen]

RichardsonRF, one of the most expensive commercial RF parts suppliers (and
also an Arrow company like Vertical), just dropped the price of the UM4006D
diodes to $24.75 ea.  Wow.  And, it appears you can purchase in SINGLE
quantities while the supply lasts.

Anyone wanting to negotiate the Vertical pricing down to Richardson's prior
to order processing on Monday has my 100% blessing!

Jerry, NY2KW, posted the message below to the Alpha 87A list on Yahoo:

> "I just found out that Verical (division of Arrow Eletronics) is 
> selling
the Microsemi brand of the UM4006D for only $30 each.   When I last bought a
pair they were almost twice that price and they had thousands in stock, now
they have only ~ 240 left.  If you ever wanted to stock up now is the time
before they run out.  I called Microsemi a few years back and they were not
sure if they would manufacture more. Verical has a minimum order of three so
you may want to partner up if you needs only 1 or 2." 

That's a great find for only $30 ea. in the "D" case style - and from a
reputable semiconductor supplier.  I just ordered a half-dozen.  Shipping
was only $4.00 USPS first class rate.  These are the correct OEM PIN diodes
for the Alpha 87A and 89 amplifiers.
