• Group Buy of 2DW233 ultra low noise zener reference
  Posted by VintageNut on 27 Oct, 2016 08:23
• Zlymex was kind enough to purchase and send 430 pcs of a 2DW233 with what looks like a 4-14 date code from his picture on the 2DW original thread.
  
  This will be a cooperative effort. Everybody who wants to receive some of these please follow these simple
  instructions.
  
  1. Everybody who is not in the USA, please add your country beside your name on the list. Just copy the list, paste the list into a new post on this thread, and add your country beside your name.
  
  2. If you are not on the list, and you want to be on the list, copy the list, add your name and country to the bottom of the list and post the amended list.
  
  Housekeeping items
  
  1. You will need to pay for United States Postal Service (USPS) shipping of the parts to your location. I can accept Paypal. If you cannot send payment for the shipping then you will have to find another way to purchase these for yourself. I have shipped stuff to just about every country in the world, so , chances are that USPS can get these parts to you no matter where you are. After I have a representative package to ship, I can post the price of shipping to various countries.
  
  2. If we end up with 150 people on this list then everybody gets 2.8667 pieces. That is just the arithmetic of the situation. Lets see how this list develops and we can discuss it. My personal opinion is that 10 pcs is the minimum that would be interesting. That means we can accept up to 43 people on this list.
  
  3. When it is time to ship, I will send you a PM on this site with an invoice and instructions for sending payment for shipping.
  
  4. I have a day job. It takes me out of town on travel sometimes. There will be some days that I will not be able to post on this thread and will not have access to PMs etc.

  But I'm not familiar with the circuit for these.

  Your designs are awesome. I would welcome a board that you design. The zener is nominally 6.25VDC. You have to tweak each board for the zero TC of the individual part.
  
  An ovenized board like what is in the DMM7510 would be great. Set the temperature inside the ovenized module for between 30 and 35 C and it should be stable in every home lab situation.

• From tc diagram inflection point seems to be between 50-60 C..
  30-35 seems low,  that is room temperature in sumer .. It gets hot here..

  I think that the current in the Zener will affect the zero TC temperature. There may be a current that allows a lower zero TC temperature.
  
  In any event, having an oven that can be set by the user will allow different oven temperatures in different parts of the world. Even if the 30 or 35 or 40 C oven is not at zero TC of the zener, if the oven is more stable than the home lab environment, then the reference with the oven is better than no oven at all.
  
  Just my opinion. In my home, my Fluke 731B that I monitor changes about 1 ppm for every 2 degrees F of change in my home temperature. My home temperature can easily vary +/- 5 degrees from week to week. I turn off the HVAC when it is nice outside and open the windows.
  
  I have seen my 731B vary 5ppm over the course of a day where it is hot in the afternoon and cold overnight. Adding an oven to the 731B would make it a much more useful reference standard.

• I agree that we could use some boards like the LTZ from TiN.
  
  The oven would be good for those that don't have HVAC in the workshop or lab, in my case the temps in the workshop vary from mid 20's Cº in fall/winter to mid 30's Cº in summer, still waiting for the BME280 sensor to start tracking the change of temp in the workshop.
  
  Now just need some GPIB cables and GPIB-USB from China.

• Hello Tin
  
  Attached is a design by Warren S of the VoltNuts email list. I traded some emails with him and he shared the schematic. His posting on the VoltNuts list is pasted below the schematic.
  
  
  
  For the Extreme (or cheap) Volt Nut, There is another choice.
  Attached is the circuit of a 0.1 PPM, 10 volt transfer standard.
  It has ONLY ONE critical part that limits its accuracy and stability.
  Everything else can be made to have so little effect as to be insignificant or else can
  be trimmed and calibrated out without using a precision voltage source using a method
  similar to what the daily auto cal in the HP3458 does. It measures it's own internal 6+V
  reference.
  Every year or more, best to record the value of the nominal 6.2 volts, to measurement the
  ageing rate, by using a known external 10 volt standard.
  To do that, an accurate external way is needed to find the exact ratio of the 6.2 volts
  to the external 10 volt standard.
  This can be done by using a high resolution Linear DMM (aka HP3458A) OR a Kelvin-Varley
  divider (aka fluke 720 ) and null meter (aka Fluke 845).
  Lets assume if one wants to do 0.1 PPM things, then they have the equipment and skill
  needed to measure a 10v to 6v ratio to 0.1 PPM.
  After that ratio is known and recorded the units internal 10 volts can then be set to
  that same ratio without further need of the external 10V standard.
  The main advantage of all this extra trouble is low cost accuracy and stability.
  There are no critical or expensive resistor needed or anything else critical, because all
  the TC and long term drift are canceled out whenever a manual trim is done using an
  external ratio device to check its own 10 V against it's own 6.2 volts.
  Nothing very special is needed to build this beside care and time.
  To get the best performance, It does take a lot of Nut-time to match and select things.
  Total parts cost with a well supplied analog junk box (or EBay) can be under $10.
  Any good 6V type reference device could be used.
  I'm using a well aged and selected 1n825 because I have a lot of history with them and
  they work good without an oven.
  I have not done any mailing test on these parts but they can be Zero TCed so that they do
  not change 0.1PPM over normal room temperature
  and they show no change when powered down for short periods of time and tend to return to
  their original value when hit with a heat gun and cold stray, so it makes a good part to
  start experimenting with.

• I can't see the schematics though, perhaps you can attach it? I'll need PDF or so to redraw it in my CAD.
  Perhaps include me into list too then, 10pcs Taipei, Asia I'd make a board , perhaps with room for 10K resistor, and call it 3458A-NutKit

• TiN that idea of make everything in one board with this schematic is good, since we can send it as na Traveler Standard and be adjust by some guys with 3458, 720, and 845, also the space for 10k is good.
  
  That schematic would be good also for a new LTZ1k board revision, also with the place for the 10k on board.
  
  Maybe a new chalange this two boards Illya. :-)
  
  TiN in attach is the schematic that VoltageNut posted.

• Many thanks for taking the lead and all the puzzle work.
  I needed some time to find the "instructions" - the thread gets long - but I finally found them.
  I assume other may have same issue, so made a copy here also.
  
  

  Quote

  This will be a cooperative effort. Everybody who wants to receive some of these please follow these simple
  instructions.
  
  instructions
  
  1. Everybody who is not in the USA, please add your country beside your name on the list. Just copy the list, paste the list into a new post on this thread, and add your country beside your name.
  
  2. If you are not on the list, and you want to be on the list, copy the list, add your name and country to the bottom of the list and post the amended list.
  
  Housekeeping items
  
  1. You will need to pay for United States Postal Service (USPS) shipping of the parts to your location. I can accept Paypal. If you cannot send payment for the shipping then you will have to find another way to purchase these for yourself. I have shipped stuff to just about every country in the world, so , chances are that USPS can get these parts to you no matter where you are. After I have a representative package to ship, I can post the price of shipping to various countries.
  
  2. If we end up with 150 people on this list then everybody gets 2.8667 pieces. That is just the arithmetic of the situation. Lets see how this list develops and we can discuss it. My personal opinion is that 10 pcs is the minimum that would be interesting. That means we can accept up to 43 people on this list.
  
  3. When it is time to ship, I will send you a PM on this site with an invoice and instructions for sending payment for shipping.
  
  4. I have a day job. It takes me out of town on travel sometimes. There will be some days that I will not be able to post on this thread and will not have access to PMs etc.

  I can't see the schematics though, perhaps you can attach it? I'll need PDF or so to redraw it in my CAD.
  Perhaps include me into list too then, 10pcs Taipei, Asia I'd make a board , perhaps with room for 10K resistor, and call it 3458A-NutKit
  

  
  I'm interested as well in this board. Are you going to make separate thread about it?
  Resistors array I prefer Vishay NOMCA and pots Bourns 3250W or VPG 1280G.
  Resistors nothing fancy, Vishay UXB series or PTF56.
  
  What do you plan to use as 10k resistor? Vishay foil Z203?
  Can we reuse some trimming technique to exact 10k?
  Or to reduce BOM using cheap Vishay NOMCA in series/parallel configuration with pot.

  plesa, the NOMCA series looks good for the 5+3 array of 20k, but I only can find them in multiples of 500.
  The Bourns pots are PWW and very good but, 22€ each, the Vishay pots are 16€ each.

  Here any resistors like UPW-20/50 series, Edwin, UXB, PTF,  etc, should be ok.

  How about using 4x40k in parallel, this way cheap PWW, UXB etc could be use, sinc all the tempco is split between them, we could use 4 wire here.

  There are NOMCA 20k for 5.18 GBP on Farnell in single quantities..

• Depends on the farnell website, in the .es only 10 pieces, on the .pt the 20k doesn't exist.
  
  The first hit was Digikey and they show only 500 min. order.

• For the people in the USA, please note next to your user name that you are OK with Paypal to pay your shipping costs which also confirms that you remain interested in receiving the 2DW parts.
  
  There are a few user names from Europe  who have not responded. These people are

  For these people, please note next to your user name that you are OK with paying for your shipping costs with Paypal.

• I see a lot of annotations asking for way more than 430/people...    Like does pelule want 0 if he can't get 20?  My original request was for 20, but I'm putting 10+ to indicate whatever a "share" ends up being once it's divvied up. 
  
  Really appreciate zlymex and VintageNut for the time and expense making this possible!

• Where we are right now with the list, there are 35 people with a few yet to respond with confirmation.
  
  430 pcs divided by 35 people, truncated to a whole number is 12 pcs per person.
  
  We can accommodate a few more people. I will cut off additions at 43 people so that everybody gets at least 10 pcs. i will announce when the list is frozen. If someone is not interested because the quantity is too low, you can delete yourself from the list.
  
  I have started a spreadsheet so that i can keep organized. Thanks to everyone for managing your own place on the list. Everybody will be treated equal no matter when they joined. We will all get enough parts to make some PCBs and have some new voltage references.
  
  best regards,

  No - it's even cheaper. You don't need to pay anything and get it delivered for free.
  
  But let's take it serious:
  https://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology/ultra-low-noise-reference-2dw232-2dw233-2dw23x/?all
  In that (org) thread there was made a rough calculation, based on the buy price zlymex could achieve.
  Main target, wasn't to get it the cheapest way
  - 1st target was to get it anyhow
  - 2nd to buy from a trustable source and the right product

• VintageNut and all,
  
  I'll create separate thread on PCB Module design for this project. So I invite everyone to think clearly what they need most on PCB, so you would be ready once the thread emerge. Don't post on this here, to keep offtopic out.
  I'd assume qty about 100 boards. That will get each 2pcs if we get 40 people. CAD files will be open.

• Here is the deal for shipping/postage.
  
  USPS International First Class letter/envelope fee is between USD $2 and USD $3 for up to 3.5 ounces  (100g) for Europe, Australia and Indonesia. There is a stipulation for thickness of envelope not to exceed 1/4" (6mm). When the parts arrive, I will make up some envelopes and take them to my post office to see if the envelopes are acceptable for international first class mailing.
  
  I will have to acquire enough envelopes and see about possibly adding some protective padding.
  
  Preliminary prediction is that I will round up to USD $3.00 which should cover the postage and materials.
  
  The issue to discuss is that there is no tracking for this low cost service. Any service that includes tracking will cost more than the parts are worth for 10-12 pcs, a lot more. Stupid money kind of more.
  
  Feel free to chime in with your thoughts and suggestions.

  I have a suspicion that this is going to be the hard constraint. Those cans look kind of TO-5/TO-72 sized and with any (necessary) padding are going to push a package over 1/4" thick. We might end up having to look at some slower small packet rate to keep the postage proportionate. I'm guessing as I know USPS is as arcane as the Royal Mail when it comes to finding the 'sweet spot' in sending something without paying an arm and a leg.

  I'm OK to pay for a tracked packet airmail, as it would be silly to lose the lot after all this effort . I am also quite sure from my experience that it would be not possible to use a letter post, as 6mm max thickness is definitely not enough to accommodate the parts in a proper packaging. Please look for the next size up (small packet post?).
  
  Cheers

• I've shipped a lot of small parcels in the US.  6X9 bubble mailing packs are about 28 cents at sams wholesale.  Haven't bought any lately and they may not carry them now.  Other places they cost 50 to 70 cents each.  I used to cut them in half and that would be sufficient for 20.  First class parcel is around $2.70 and that is the same for up to 3 ounces.  Oddball packager size doesn't matter.  3 oz is a lot of parts.  On ebay online shipping this is about 2.30 now and they include tracking for free.  If you register with USPS for online shipping the postage is cheaper than retail and they may provide tracking free to boot.  If you have a printer, the printing of labels saves a lot of work and they will fit on the half package.  Just providing evidence that a package has been shipped to an area code should be sufficient for most people.  Don't forget you will need wide clear packing tape.
  
  EDIT;  I just had to re register at USPS to check US pricing.  3 oz is $2.62 and they no longer offer Click n Ship for this size package.  Might as well just go to the post office. I can't believe it as I used to use it.  I get lots of things with lousy packing and they still seem to arrive just fine.

• If you read the other thread carefully, you will see that Zlymex stated that he has difficulty receiving electronic payment where he lives. He want this community of interested hobbyists to make some measurements of noise of these parts and share the measurements.
  
  So, our part in this effort will be to repay Zlymex's kindness with public sharing of what we will do with these parts and to share our measurements.
  
  I am doing some research to see how I will be able to measure the noise of these parts where they are mounted in a circuit and running.

  I was just about to suggest the same. How about all of you EU people here discuss where the best place in the EU is for organizing this. From a sheer numbers standpoint, most of the participants are in Germany. It may make sense to send the entire EU lot to Germany.

  At my local post office, they have become quite strict about this.  They have a board with a 1/4" slot in it, and the envelope has to pass through.
  If you give the envelope to your mail carrier, they are not going to have one of those, so you could probably fudge it.  I don't know if it would be kicked out later and returned.

  I think the next step up is $13.50      So, either they have to go overseas in bulk, or people outside the US should just order them from China

• Here in Croatia, you can send letters as a scroll, basically in tube format..  50-100g cca 2€ to EU zone..
  They consider it normal letter, just care about weight.. Actually they require tube not to be too small...
  
  I was like  scroll  ..    I asked do they ship stone tablets too...
  Guy laughed, and said that many legal documents are sent that way to protect them..
  
  So is there such a service USA->EU  ? That would be a solution.

  Here in Croatia, you can send letters as a scroll, basically in tube format..  50-100g cca 2€ to EU zone..

  I think the next step up is $13.50      So, either they have to go overseas in bulk, or people outside the US should just order them from China 
  

  
  I can't speak for the others, but for me personally, this is more about getting hold of identified parts from a batch that Zlymex has already sample tested with good results. I'm grateful to Zlymex for taking on the expense of purchasing and shipping them to the US. If I have to pay $13.50 or more for the privilige of receiving them then I will be well satisfied. I really don't care that they're $0.25 in China, or whatever - this way I can be sure of what I'm getting!

• There is a USPS First Class Pacakage rate. I can package up the parts in a small box and send the parts to one member in each country that wants to do this. You could share the shipping cost among the group in each country. Below are  are the rates. I don't know about tracking but i will find out.
  
  UK  USD $13.50
  Germany  USD $13.50
  Australia  USD $13.75
  
  If you want, you can purchase the shipping label online, print the label to pdf, and then email the label to me. I will provide the small boxes.
  
  Its an option.

  By the way, it would be much cheaper to send the lot for all UK participants to a single address in the UK by a tracked airmail packet and then forward it over here using Royal mail. I can do it if required.
  
  Cheers
  
  Alex
  

  
  I was just about to suggest the same. How about all of you EU people here discuss where the best place in the EU is for organizing this. From a sheer numbers standpoint, most of the participants are in Germany. It may make sense to send the entire EU lot to Germany.
  

  
  The sum, sorry.
  German EU members: 4
  Other EU members: 10
  
  Another cuestioin are Aduaners laws in Germany are harsh.

  Here is the deal for shipping/postage.
  
  USPS International First Class letter/envelope fee is between USD $2 and USD $3 for up to 3.5 ounces  (100g) for Europe, Australia and Indonesia. There is a stipulation for thickness of envelope not to exceed 1/4" (6mm). When the parts arrive, I will make up some envelopes and take them to my post office to see if the envelopes are acceptable for international first class mailing.
  
  I will have to acquire enough envelopes and see about possibly adding some protective padding.
  
  Preliminary prediction is that I will round up to USD $3.00 which should cover the postage and materials.
  
  The issue to discuss is that there is no tracking for this low cost service. Any service that includes tracking will cost more than the parts are worth for 10-12 pcs, a lot more. Stupid money kind of more.
  
  Feel free to chime in with your thoughts and suggestions.
  

  
  This was said from the beginning, good for me and the best option. But I will abide by what majority decides, no problem.

• I personally don't care, if the shipment cost is $5 or $15.
  I also don't care if it arrives a bit delayed (many of my Asian orders need weeks)
  As already stated, my target is, to buy them from a know good source and from a known good lot.
  It's a bit a pitty to see, in what direction zlymex generous offer tends. The risk: never again or via PM only.
  
  But - minimizing the overall cost is never the less a good engineering task.
  
  So I am open to act as the "German distributor", if the final receivers accept a few days of additional delay and in advance payment.

• I agree with pelule, I didn't do this because it would be 2€, but because zilmex had access to good ones..
  So even for few € per piece it's a good deal.. Not to mention respecting good people's effort..
  
  So if you gonna group, I'm fine with mine going trough Germany... If not you can send me directly..
  That's fine to.  And I insist to pay in advance, that's the least I can do..
  
  And all people that organized the shipment, we owe you for your kindness.. I hope we'll be able to help you in some way ...

• If you are going to send international use small packet rates, not parcel rate, as this is only a small amount over letter rate, but, depending on the originating country, will allow up to 20mm thickness.  Also remember that you have to attach a CN22 customs declaration to each packet, otherwise it will be returned to you or destroyed.
  
  Declare the value correctly, including the postage cost, or at least declare the value as postage cost. May incur a customs charge in some countries, but otherwise they might be held in customs forever.

  Just as a general point of information, the CN22 customs form ought only to declare the value of the goods.  It's important for some countries to ensure that you don't make the postage part of the 'value' as it's excluded from their import duty/VAT/whatever calculations. For instance the UK doesn't collect VAT or duty on most goods under the value of £15 excluding postage. If you include the postage you can kick a package over into the band where duty/VAT (and the inevitable handling fee) kick in. Counties that do include postage costs in their calculations just typically use standard figures based on the source, weight, route etc of the package.

• The package is still in China. It is progressing. No estimated delivery date to me. My guess is that it will take 2 weeks or maybe even more to get the package to me.
  
  No need for anyone to pay anything now.I will respect the wishes of each participant for delivery.
  
  According to the advertisement by Zlymex's seller, the parts are USD$ 0.24 each. The vale will be declared USD $2.64 for 11 pcs. If the count is different the package will be declared for USD $0.24 each. There should be no customs issues for this small of value.

  German custom is a bit more "user friendly".  If it not declared correct or complete, they send a letter to the receiptian and one have to go to the custom in person to clearify. It had this plenty times already.
  So correct & complete declaration saves time and inconvinience.

  Its also good to have the correct HTSUS or TARIC number on the CN22 declaration.
  And sending the letter means that customs treatment is usually 2 weeks.
  When you receive the letter then you have to be quick: they only keep the package for about 2 weeks.

• Tracking information of EMS.
  From the English page, it says "Despatch from Sorting Center of Dalian" on 28th Oct. Dalian is the city where I reside.
  However in Chinese page, it says "Despatch from Dalian to JFK". This provides two pieces of additional information: The shipment is by air, and there might be no other intermediate city in China to send to.

  Thank you zlymex for that update. The English tracking information for EMS and for USPS do not indicate that the shipment is on its way to JFK. Very good to know that JFK is the next stop!

  Hi Technix,
  
  Thank you for the offer to consider the arrangement.  I probably am interested in getting more parts if it can be easily arranged and perhaps many others here might also have a similar interest.

  I am going to try to get a quote from them this Monday and maybe order a few samples for myself to experiment with (although maybe I should figure out how to use LM399 first?) They will probably have a minimum order quantity (10 if lucky, 500 if not) so we may have to combine orders.
  
  If you think it is necessary I can set up a testing rig so I can pre-select them before sending out to you guys. However my testing rig would be limited to a simple constant-current sink and a UT61D multimeter.

  Theoretically the difference is the zero TC current. Practically,  NO difference.

• When it is time to start collecting shipping fees, which is not yet, I will start with the first people who signed up and go in order of the people who updated this thread. It will be a very simple first-in first-out system.
  
  I will post here when the individual packages are sealed up for shipping. You will each receive a private messages where you can tell me how you want the parts to ship. Via private message, I will tell you what information I need and how to make payment etc etc.

  Thank you Technix.
  Good luck with your attempt to contact them and get samples / purchase options that are suitable.
  When you ask for a quote of minimum order quantity it might be good to ask what their pricing quotation is for their different standard quantities.  Sometimes you may get a significantly different price for 10 pieces than 100 or 1000.
  My own temptation is to buy in the 100-250 pieces range and I think a few others here also indicated such interest for the previous order, so it may not be impossible that people could wish to combine orders to achieve quanties 500+.
  
  zlymex said he bought and received 50 pieces in each bag so maybe that is a standard quantity for the factory unless his reseller packaged / repackaged the devices in some other way.
  https://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology/ultra-low-noise-reference-2dw232-2dw233-2dw23x/msg1056003/#msg1056003
  
  
  EDIT: As for the LM399, yes, I saw your thread about having some nice collection of parts to build a meter or voltage reference, good luck with all that.  I hope to do similarly with references / ADCs etc. some time.  I think having a LM399 or other reference is a good addition to experiementing with these since you can then compare the different types against eacy other.  I could see the possibility of using different types voltage references within a single system according to the attributre of each, the voltage, the stability, the power consumption, etc.  And certainly for experimentation I think many here will be comparing these 2DWxxx references against LM399, LTZ1000, and other references to see what the performance differences are over time and humidity and temperature and part to part variation.  But if you only wish or need to experiement with one reference for the time then there's nothing wrong with the LM399, I'd like to get some of those as well soon to compare with others and use each for their optimum possible purposes.

  I am going to ask them for their minimum order amount and bulk unit. I will probably have to round the aggregated order up to the next bulk unit size and swallow the differences and that will affect the final price.

• The parts have arrived safely in the USA at my home/office/lab. Thank you Zlymex!!!
  
  The rough count of parts is 424. I did not count every part. I weighed the bags and sorted by weight and counted one full bag and counted the smaller low weight bag.
  
  I will start to send private messages with the first people who asked to be on the list in the other thread.
  
  Be ready to reply with your name, address, country, phone number.
  From that I will reply with your shipping options and we will go from there.

  Private messages went out to first 18 people on the original list at the beginning of this thread. Everybody be patient. This should go quickly.
  

  
  VintageNut, just asking, the 18, are those sequential base on the request as 1st come 1st serve ?
  
  Cause if you look from the requests, I'm the one who responded 1st (2nd post after your OP) while I'm not in your PM list. Mind clarify this ?

• The PMs are going out slowly and I am slowly receiving responses.
  
  The cut off will possibly be 42 participants due to the quantity of parts received.
  
  If you are on the list of the first 42 participants, you can speed up the process by sending me a PM with the information in the below which is what I am sending out via private message
  
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Hello from VintageNut in the USA
  
  This private message is for the group buy of the 2DW232 reference Zener diodes that Zlymex purchased and tested for low noise.
  
  Please send to me the following
  
  1. Full Name
  2. Shipping address including country
  3. Phone Number
  
  If your country requires special documents for customs, it is your respnosibility to acquire these documents. You must fill out these documents and email the documents to me.
  
  The lowest cost shipping is USPS first class letter. There is no tracking with USPS first class letter.
  
  More cost but with tracking will be USPS Priority.
  
  Please let me know if you want to use USPS first class letter or USPS Priority.
  
  I will reply with the cost for shipping the parts and instructions for payment.
  
  best regards,
  
  VintageNut

  Are you going to send to a single person in Germany and UK ?
  There are 4 in Germany and 5 in the UK
  
  I am OK with sending out to everyone, just thought it might be easier for you.
  I think Alex Nikitin offered to sort out the UK distribution

• If groups in a country want to elect a person to receive all the parts for the group you need to decide that among yourselves and let me know.
  
  You may encounter a problem with customs as the value of the parts is USD$ 0.24 each. A batch of 50 parts may trigger customs fees whereas 10 pieces may not trigger a customs fee.
  
  It is up to you people to talk among yourselves and decide.

• I checked,
  
  In Croatia cutoff  for no tax and customs is 22 euro.. 
  shipping from here to Eurozone is 2-3 euro...
  
  I could easily receive for me and central Europe ( my neighbours in Germany and Italy, that is 5-6 people) so that is half the list..
  
  Someone would have to take care of other half..
  
  Could everybody check so we can see if we can organize group shipment...
  If you agree, than we can confirm with VintageNut..
  
  Please let me know.
  
  Best regards,

• The threshold for the import VAT in the UK is £15 for sold goods (UK Pounds, so about $18) and £34 ($42) for a gift (which I suppose it is for these zeners). In either case $12 declared on the package is not a problem. If other members from the UK are OK with me re-posting their lots here, please let VintageNut and me know (and PM me your addresses). In any case I'll pay for a tracked delivery from the US.

  I suspect that it makes more sense for the UK to do the US->UK postage through one member (I say suspect because I haven't run the numbers). I'm happy to go this way.

  Please talk among yourselves, get organized and then tell me exactly how many people are in the group and who in the group is going to receive the parts.
  
  Its ok to work out the details here in this thread.
  
   As of now, I have exactly zero details about any group distribution.

  I have on PM'd the first 18 people ( where my spreadsheet starts)  to start getting shipping information organized. People who are not the first 18 are free to PM me with the information that I asked for earlier in the thread for shipping, phone, etc. I am creating a master list with all of the shipping information of all participants.

• Today i visited the USPS office to discuss shipping options. I also purchased 40 padded envelopes.
  
  The parts are too large for a "letter" envelope. The maximum thickness is 0.25 inches. The parts are larger than that.
  
  So, the padded envelopes are charged the same as a very small and light package for first class postage.
  
  It looks like many countries will be USD $13.50 for first class package rate.
  
  USPS International Priority will be USD $33.95 for a Small Flat Rate Box.
  
  I have begun sending PMs for shipping costs.

• Hello Europe
  
  There are 18 EU participants outside of the UK.
  
  My suggestion to have one participant in the EU receive all of the 180 pieces of the 2DW232 and do the distribution for the remaining EU participants.
  
  Please discuss and someone volunteer.
  
  The cost to send 50 pcs USPS Priority box was USD $33.95 the UK.
  
  As an example, for Germany:
      A small flat rate box is USD$ 33.95
      A First Class package is USD $22.50
  
  Please somebody volunteer for distribution in the EU

  That's OK my friend, I was just kinda getting impatient...
  
  I was thinking, we get VintageNut to send me Priority, that's with tracking, for USD $33.95.. We split that between us, and probably few more, and if package with 10pcs is less than 100g that's 2€ if between 100-250g a bit more than 3€.. to whole EU zone.. I know it takes few days to Germany and Italy , it should be pretta much the same to Nederland...  If that is OK let's start:
  
  
  2N3055 EU group:
  
  - 2N3055    -Croatia
  - SvanGool -Nederland

  Thanks for that, I was looking for it but somehow missed it... So definitely, individual 10 PCS packet will be less than 100g.  Ergo, from my side shipping to EU zone would be 14kn (1,8-1,9 €) + divided USA shipping 33.95 USD.. (EDIT) And a bit for the envelope ..

  The final list of names has 42 total names. So, there are officially 22 names for EU+UK. 50 pcs already are on the say to UK. 170 pcs ship to Plesa today.

• Received the 10 2DW233s yesterday in the mail.  Won't have time to play with them properly for a couple of weeks due to the upcoming holiday, but just wanted to say thanks to both VintageNut for doing the logistics as well as Zlymex for the gift.

  Yes, thank you very much zlymex and VintageNut!
  I got my envelope as well but may not have a chance to play with them properly until I get a noise tester, temperature controlled test box, and precision current source made up. Hopefully soon.

  Well the factory order just arrived (at 0430 local time...) and I have packaged them and printed the international mail documents. Will send them later (0540 local time now and I really need to sleep.)
  
  I have negotiated with the factory and they can supply as many as you can take. (Probably I am now one of their distributors targeting international market?) If you still want those but never made to this group buy please PM me.
  

  I am new to the group and would like to buy 2. Is this the right place to ask?

• Just got my bag of candies too.
  Too bad I'll be on local travel next couple days, but I might plonk few for quick checks tonight. 
  I guess I-V plot -15...+15V would be good starter?

• Maximum current is 30mA and maximum power is 200mW. At 15V, you want to set current limit at 13 mA. Not sure if the part will draw more than 13mA at 15v.

  Hi,
  The 2DW233 arrived today safely in Japan.
  
  Thank you for your all the effort for the group buy.
  It seems like only took 7days to arrive and there were no hassle with customs.
  I have another parts to understand and play now.
