I'm in need of a surface mount RF metal can for a project (qty 100).
The size isn't too critical I will design it to fit what is out there. (maybe 20x20x3mm, something like that.)
You can get metal cans from digikey but they cost like $1+ in 100 qty.
Compared to like 7-15 cents from china, but using Alibaba adds extract time/complexity/shipping delays etc.
Are there any online stores that fit in between those two options.
I'm happy to pay like $0.35 each for something in a standard size from a decent online store with a spec sheet.
Any recommendations appreciated.
