Multicomp pro MJ-14SR  - it's the multi comp version of the mini Lumberg jacks they seem to have stopped making. 

 

CPC id  CN21942 

Farnell  1737250

 

if it was a bit of a difference I would understand, CPC seem to be aimed at small volume orders more, but it's crazy difference, and not with discount as it comes down! I'ld buy from CPC but they don't have the Lumberg mono jacks I need

Not that it helps you much, but if you want the explanation, it's two fold - CPC are just selling at a lower margin, different customer base, different pricing structures. But also CPC has older, lower cost stock, so their sell price is lower. Farnell sell a lot more of this part so the physical stock we have is newer and there's been a price increase. When CPC exhaust that stock their price will go up.

I don’t get how a component can be 67p in CPC going down to 55p for ten…

 

and then £1.60 in Farnell going down to 73p if I order more than 500!

 

when it’s the same company how does that make sense?

 

With Farnell you get the certificates of traceability/quality documentation needed by manufacturers.

CPC have an equivalent of Lumberg mono jacks too so going to try them - fingers crossed it all fits!
