SSR PCBs....mini-COOP

[Sean Bowf]

I have had a few folks contact me about SSR PCBs. I have no extras left, and have already dipped into my own personal stash a little.

I have not been following the progress on the Renard close enough to know where that is right now...and I would think there would be a large COOP of SSR PCBs when the Renard is finalized.

My point...it would take a couple hundred PCBs to make the price decent. At 200, with a 4 week manufacture time, they would be about $2 each (give or take a dime). With a 2 week manufacture time, they are about $2.35 each at a quantity of 200. They would get cheaper as the quantity goes up.

So...here it is (my point)...is there enough interest to do a mini COOP now for the SSR PCBs, and if so, do those interested prefer a 2 week manufacture time, or a 4 week manufacture time? If interest, post the quantity you would be interested in, and how long of a manufacture time you prefer.

Note, that from the day I order, a 2 week manafacture time would take me close to 3 weeks to actually get the PCBs (shipping time). Same for the 4 week manufacture time...it would take close to five weeks from the day I order to get them.

The manufacturer runs specials on occasion and has one right now where we could get them faster...IE order a 4 week turn around time and get them in 2 weeks, at the 4 week price. I would need to contact them to see how long this special is good for...so please don't count on it.

Post below if you are interested, and how many you might be interested in. I will let this run for a couple weeks, and if we don't hit 200 PCBs...will let it die. As I mentioned, if we go over 200, they will get cheaper.

Note that the USPS raised shipping rates. I think the box I sent yesterday was 4.60 for priority. Also, for those that are not familiar with the orders, if you pay with paypal, the fees need to be added on before you pay, so I don't eat them.

I'll probably be interested, i just need to get my parts from the last time we had a coop so i can make sure the 32 i bought last time work. But i'm sure those parts will be shipped at soon.

[spike]

I may be interested

[gmbartlett]

Sean,

I would be interested in 32 boards. This would put you about 1/6 of the way there. I would prefer a 2 week turn around but not necessary.

[jderba]

Sean,

I'll definitely go in for 16 boards.
2 weeks or 4 weeks makes no difference to me

Thanks

Jack

[Macrosill]

If you are doing a coop order I would take about 50 or so boards.

[RandyA]

I have 16, that I am not going to be using. Please let me know if you would like them.

Randy

[RichF]

I would be interested in at least 32 If you could get them cheaper I would buy 48 boards.

[Sean Bowf]

Ok...looks like this is going to be a go. If we get close enough to 200, I would make up the difference anyhow, since folks keep asking me for the PCBs.

I will need to dig up and update the parts list...but plenty of time for that.

Lets close this on Friday the 29th. I will try to get a hold of my area rep for the company I have been going through to see how long the special will last.

In case it matters to anyone...The company I go through charges a setup fee for new PCBs, but waves the fee for reorders. So, I don't plan on changing anything from the last design. That being said, the PCBs come with a lead based tinning on them. If this is a big deal for anyone, let me know, and I will check with them to see if I can change this without paying the setup fee again. I personally use lead/tin solder, so the lead does not affect my use.

If we get to 400, they would be a little over $1.50 each

Sean,
I will take 16, 4 weeks is fine with me
-Don

[pete]

I'm thinking another 16 at least

Pete

[spike]

Are we going to do parts as well?

And these are four channel boards, correct?

[Sean Bowf]

I have never done parts, not sure if someone else wants to pick that up. We are still waiting on our parts from the last order that was done months ago.

Yes, they are four channels.

http://home.sw.rr.com/bowf/SSRV2.4built.GIF

They work with Brian's 595 controller board, and the 595 is my how to at CC.

Sean

[Macrosill]

Bassboy,
Yes this is for the 4 channel ssr boards.

At this point, with the previous parts coop still in progress I would not think anyone really wants to get involved in a second one, at this time.

edit: sorry, I did not see Sean's post on page 2.

[spike]

What part number is that cap. on there?

[Macrosill]

What part are you referring to Bassboy? There is no capacitor on the ssr pcb.

[Wayne J]

If the price can get down to 1.25 like the last one, I would be in for 32

[spike]

Sorry, not cap.
My mistake.

What is the green thing next to the 3 terminal block?

[Macrosill]

The green thing is a jumper wire in place of a fuse holder. The fuse holder was on back order at the time so Sean just put a jumper in there to get it working.

[spike]

oh, ok
it looked like the shape of some caps.

Thank you for clearing that up

[alwysrit2]

I hope this isn't a terribly dumb question. I saw in a different discussion a question about dimmable vs non-dimmable SSR. Which are these?
-Don

[Wayne J]

I hope this isn't a terribly dumb question. I saw in a different discussion a question about dimmable vs non-dimmable SSR. Which are these?
-Don

It is the parts that determines whether they are dimmable or not. Everyone builds dimmable units, even if they are not dimming. This is wise, as one may go to dimming at a later time and will not have to replace the SSR's.
The parts list that is involved with these are for dimming.

[Sean Bowf]

The main thing to worry about is the optoisolator. There are zero cross, and random cross optos. You need random cross for dimming. If you follow the parts list (that I have not posted a link to yet...heh), you will be fine for either dimming, or on/off control.

As to the fuse...I guess I need to get a picture up of a PCB with a fuse in it, and start using it. I am 100 percent in support of using a fuse with our SSRs. Whether it is part of the circuit board, or external to the circuit board, you should use a fuse...

No answer from the area rep yet...I guess they take weekends off...heh.

Sean

[spike]

Alright.
Big display this year.
Write me down for 75 boards.

[Sean Bowf]

Rounding up to a quantity of 250, we are at $1.82 per PCB with Bassboy's large order.

I also wanted to add...that in the past, if someone wanted a couple PCBs to fool with, I could send them for about $1.50 (cost of a padded envelope and 1st class shipping) to the lower 48. I know postage went up, but I would think I could still do this for less than $2 if someone just wanted a couple to fool with until we get a larger order together.

Sean

[gmbartlett]

Sean,

I would like to place my Mouser order next weekend. I need to get several other components for some of my other projects. I need to confirm that the parts list for these SSR boards will be the same as the list in your blinkyflashy post titled: SSR_V2(1).4_parts_list.xls. If not, would you please post the updated list.

Thank you,

[Wayne J]

That is the parts list I use. Just got an order in for 8 relays using it. Built 32 relays using it also.

Sean

Hey, do you have a solder side photo? I was curious what the trace widths look like on this latest board. I know there was talk about uping the trace widths a while back, but I don't know if the design was reved. I think you guys usually work in layout work, that I don't have the software to view.
In any case... I was just curious.

Aint no big deal really.

Tony

[Sean Bowf]

Last time we had an order, some of the parts went from having lead, to being ROHS compliant.

When Mouser does that, they add a few letters to the part number to distinguish between the two. So you might have to do a search for a part number, and see what comes up, to figure out why a part is being shown out of stock. In short, any out of stock part probably went to an ROHS compliant version.

Father's day today...going to spend some time with my kids. I will try to look through the parts list and make sure everything is still valid later tonight.

Tony, I sent you a PM. This is the same board as the last couple orders.

Sean

[Mrplow123]

OK Sean, put me down for 20. When will you want payment? And I see the price keeps going down. Come on people, jump in and order some, lets get this price down further.

Thanks for doing this again Sean.

Sean, I just ordered off that parts list last week for 8 relays. Everything is in order.
8)

[Sean Bowf]

Good to hear Wayne. I just updated the old price list with current prices and uploaded it (link below). All a person has to do is change the quantity in the yellow box at the top and the list should tell them how many of each to order, and what the total cost should be.

Since this seems to come up each order...I will go ahead and address the 750 ohm opto input resistor. This is the max size I would use. It can be smaller. The problem is...with a controller like a 595...the total current draw can get kind of high if you turn on all your channels at once, and have this resistor pretty small. I had zero problems with the 750 ohm resistor last year. I also put ends on a box of about 850 ft if Cat3 cable I use to control my SSRs, and the SSR worked fine. The longest run I had in my yard was probably less than 100 ft.

The Renard is not as much an issue with this resistor, because it is sending short on pulses twice per AC cycle, instead of sending a constant "ON" discrete like the 595 does.

If you are using anything but 5VDC to control your SSRs, this resistor's value needs to be refigured.

Sean

http://home.sw.rr.com/bowf/SSR_V2.4_parts_list_2007.xls

[P. Short]

Except that people will want the PWM firmware for the 64-channel board (so that the channel status LEDs operate properly), which drives the current requirements back up.

Phil

[Zane]

Everything on the list is ok, but a few of the non-RoHS compliant parts can be changed. all but the fuse... but that can be fixed i bet.

[Sean Bowf]

Again, the board itself will probably have lead based solder tinning on it anyhow. Still waiting to hear from my area rep on that... So whether you chose all ROHS compliant parts, or not, the PCB might still have lead on it.

As to the fuse. It does not need to be that fuse. We had a discussion about fast blow, or non-fast blow a long time ago. I don't remember a finalized standard...so I just chose a medium blow fuse.

[Sean Bowf]

I got a message back from someone other than the normal rep I deal with. He said the special will be around for a while. It is 2 weeks for the price of 4. So the four week prices are still good, but we will get the boards sooner.

He said that if all I am changing is the plating, to a no-lead plating, that there will be no tooling fee.

So, does anyone have an input on which plating to use...is lead free solder the way we want to go?

Sean

[Mudsculpter]

Makes no difference to me. If the solder sticks,...

[ErnieHorning]

I would go with the no-lead. We do this at work and the lead solder works either way. You still have the option to go lead free if it bothers you.

[Sean Bowf]

32 for stempile through PM

[tealman353]

I might make a purchase for 16 of these boards with someone who has extras. So is there a way to only order the parts,but not the blank boards. If so I will want 16 sets of parts.

Tim just order your parts from Mouser. (www.mouser.com)

[grages]

Sean,

Have you seen any of the exchanges in the Grinch forum.

http://www.christmasinshirley.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1129#1129

I suggested to Brad Riley that with his purchase of two grinch boards he would need 32 ssr boards and if he wasn't getting them from wjohn he might want to join this coop.

this was the reply




I will take 2 Grinch boards.

Brad

Brad, you will also need 32 SSR boards. If you don't get them from John you should look on the coop sections and jump in there. We are almost to the 400 board mark and the price drops to $1.50/ SSR board + shipping at that point.

If I could get an order for 400+ boards, I could do them (SSROZ) at 1$ each. thats 3 for 2. What a bargin.

There is more that you can read if you wish. I don't want to be a trouble maker but should we consolidate somehow?

Shawn
Every time I do one of these...I tell myself...never again. Seems like someone always wants to step up and tell folks how they can do it better, cheaper, shipped different, change the layout of the PCB, change the fuse holder, change a component, etc, etc. But these folks don't step to the plate to run one of these themselves.

Shawn If you did not want to be a "trouble maker" ...then...there is a little icon at the bottom of every one of my posts that says "PM". All you would have had to do is click on that button, and send me a PM...and I could have explained it to you off line... But since you posted here, I will leave it up there, and we can air all this.

As to the order...I have nothing to gain or lose from it, so if someone wants to take it over, I have no problem with that. But now, as to the effect of your post, if you split this order, those ordering have something to lose, because the PCBs get more expensive as the quantity goes down.

As to ordering from China...at my job, we get an endless stream of recall notices. 90% of those notices are for things that are made in China. A lot of them are things that were not made to the standard that they were supposed to be made...extension cords, batteries, etc, etc. I have ordered from advanced circuits before, and am happy with what I got from them. For a couple dollars, I will stick with an american company that has high standards and can be held accountable if they don't meet standards.

Now that this is all out here in the open...lets see if this flounders or goes through now. Because now, I need to know from everyone on the order, if they are still interested.

Wjohn, if you want to take this order over, just say so...no hard feelings.

Sean

[Wayne J]

Well said Sean.
I have been in two coop with Sean and this SSR board. I like the board and is of high quality. I have confidence in it now and myself prefer to stay with a proven product.

So, in short.. I'm still on board, Sean.

[jderba]

Sean,

I've seen you run a number of these Coop's and comments and suggestions on how you should run it have come up occasionally. It seems to happen to everyone who volunteers to do a coop order.

I'd like to think that the people who are making the suggestions have the best of intentions in mind, however, I can easily see how their comments can be insulting and critical. I for one am glad you step up to the plate to perform this service for this community, and I hope you continue to do so in the future.

I've gotten these boards from you in the past and have had no problems with them at all. The company you get them from seems to do a quality job and I see no reason to try another. ( a couple of cents gambling on a different co. doesn't make sense to me.)

Make no mistake about it Sean, a lot of us Appreciate everything you've done to make this forum what it is today. We Appreciate all the time and effort you put into these coops. I realize how much time it takes to see one of these through to the end, and I've thanked you before and I'll thank you again.

This is your COOP, do it the way you see fit

Thanks

Jack

[grages]

Sean,

First, let me apologize. It was not my intent to question your knowledge, judgement or expertise. Nor was it to question your integrity or selflessness.

I too have taken on tasks where I said I would never do it again and I always seem to do it anyway. So I think I understand your frustration and reaction.

To date I have not seen anyone talk about the quality of the boards and the different manufacturers. I already have some of wjohns boards in part because you seemed to fully support his efforts. I also did not know where wjohns boards were manufactured. What I did know was that when I posted my interest on the old Blinkyflash forum, John talked to me and helped me get some boards ordered.

So, Again I am sorry about questioning what you are doing.

If you wish me to drop out of this coop I will, If not I'm in.

Just let me know.

If there is still time, Add me in for 16 boards please

Cheers

[Sean Bowf]

I think I have everyone in the second post of the thread now. If you don't see your name there, or see an error there, please shoot me a PM.

If you, at any time, want to back out of the order, I have no problem with that, just shoot me a PM.

For those that have not seen one of the SSR COOPs, after I get everything totalled up, and the order made, I will post payment instructions. I expect payment within a week of me getting the PCBs...or at least contact so that I know payment is still coming. If I don't get either, then I reserve the right to sell the PCBs to someone else. At the time I make the order, I will post a per board cost, paypal fees etc. I think priority shipping is now $4.60 per package. I can do small orders in a padded envelope and send them first class for a couple dollars.

Sean

[scharbon]

Sean,

I would like 16 please if it is still not too late. Thanks

Steve

[jerkykid]

Sean, put me down for 40 boards. What is the cost of them in this order.
if it around 1.50 I' ll take more.

--Adam

[Sean Bowf]

We are at about 1.50 each now. I received a PM that gave a range for a quantity, if he posts his actual quanity within that range, the price should drop to about 1.45 each. It seems like, in the quantity range we are in right now, that each 50 PCBs, lowers the price by 5 cents per PCB.

Sean

[buck]

I would be interested in obtaining 16 ssr boards.










Thanks,

[Mrplow123]

Hey Sean,

Bump my order from 20 to 30 boards. I am not passing up this low price.

Have the boards been ordered yet?
This closed on Friday didn't it.
I am curious to know how much I owe.

[denysgt]

Bassboy,

look at the second post for this thread, it says you order 75 of them.

So total order is over 500 8)

Denys

[spike]

Does it not say that over 400 will be $1.50/board?

[grages]

Does it not say that over 400 will be $1.50/board?

Sean says on the last page that we are at the $1.45 per board mark and with every 50 additional boards is gets a nickle cheaper(unless I misinterprted). Don't know where we are at now.

[spike]

Bassboy,

look at the second post for this thread, it says you order 75 of them.

So total order is over 500 8)

Denys

that makes it seem like it was 1.45 or so per channel...
but it is per board, right?


Edit-
Or did you mean 500 total boards?

[WakeFan]

The price is per board. Each board will do 4 channels.

Grages was talking about the total # of boards on order for everyone.

[Sean Bowf]

Sorry...was out of town Friday.

I tried punching in the order on the web and if I change the plating to no-lead solder, it tries to charge me the tooling fee again. I need to talk to their rep to see if he wants me to just order it on-line and have him fix it, or order through him. And I can't talk to him till tomorrow (Monday).

It will take 2 weeks to manufacture them, and half a week for me to get them (shipping). So I am not in any big hurry with the money. After I order them, and they get the total worked out, I will post prices. It should be real close to what I stated earlier.

Sean

[Sean Bowf]

Ok, I just got a call from the rep...I am going to place the order tonight, and he is going to "fix" it...I will post back with payment instructions when I get some sort of an invoice with the "fixed" price.

I am showing a total of 521 PCBs. With the canceled order, looks like we are in about the $1.50 each range.

Sean

[rice66]

Dog gone it, I missed the discussion and the 29th cutoff Sean, I would like to have 32 of them, if my order is making it close to 400 but not over make mine 64 (same for the 200 mark) In other words if my order makes the order go over 200 or the 400 mark, great.
I pay with paypal
Regards
Rice66 aka Charles

[Sean Bowf]

Rice66, the order is placed, and I am already trying to see if I can add some to the order for another person. I have not heard back from the rep yet...

I will contact him and see if I can add another 32, but the price will not (should not) change. Normally when I add PCBs after the order is placed, the best they can do is add them at the price we already ordered at.

Sean

[Sean Bowf]

OK... the PCBs are 1.45 each. Shipping for priority shipping is 4.60. If you are paying with paypal, you need to add 30 cents, then add 2.9% of the total to cover the paypal fees.

There is an excel spreadsheet at this link if you wish to use it. Just change the yellow box to your PCB quantity, and it should do the rest for you. The green box is your total. http://home.sw.rr.com/bowf/July2007SSRPCBcost.xls

My paypal account is under sburns at sw dot rr dot com and is in my wife's name Michelle. If you want to pay with a check or MO, shoot me a PM or email for details. In your paypal payment, or envelope, I NEED TO KNOW YOUR BOARD NAME, and make sure your mailing address on your paypal account is accurate, since that is where I will be shipping to.

I will try to get boxes ready for the prepaid folks so I can mail their PCBs out as soon as I get them (about 2 and a half weeks)

Any questions, just ask.

Sean

[Greg in Canby]

Spreadsheet . . . nice touch! Cash is in your account, thanks a ton.

Greg

[bonuts]

Hi Sean. We already touched base but just to help keep track, I'd like to buy 20 boards from you if you'll have them. You mentioned someone accidentally double requested 16. Thanks.

[Sean Bowf]

It was my error on their request...but I will add you to the second post, per our conversation.


Thanks,
Sean

[rmiddle]

I doubt there are any left but I just found this board a few days ago. I would like up to 32 if there is any avaible.

[scharbon]

Sean,
Cash is in your account. Thanks I appreciate all the effort.

PayPal sent

Thanks again

[polymorph]

Sean,
Payment is in your account.
Thanks a bunch. If you find a coop for the parts send me a pm.

[Sean Bowf]

Hey everyone, I got the 2 packages of boxes that I ordered from USPS, and I got notification that the PCBs have been sent. I have no plans for this weekend, so hopefully I will get them tomorrow...so I have time to box them all up and get them out on Monday.

Sean

[Sean Bowf]

PCBs are here. I will start working from the earliest paid to latest paid. I will change the color of names in the second post to track this. Green is paid, red is either sent, or ready to send.

Going to try to get some of this done tonight, so I can send some (if not all) paid orders out tomorrow.

Sean

[bonuts]

Hey Sean. Just paid you (for my 20 boards) via Paypal. Thanks again so much for all your work.

[Sean Bowf]

OK, if your name is in red on the second post of the thread, then I show you as paid, and your box is either shipped, or at least packed for shipping.

If you paid, and your name is not in red, then shoot me a PM so we can get it straightened out.

Those that have not paid, you have a week from Friday (yesterday) to get payment to me, or at least contact me and let me know what's going on. If I don't hear from you, then I will sell the PCBs to late comers.

Late comers, post your interest here, and I will go through the names in the order they are posted until I run out.

All in all, pretty smooth COOP so far.

Sean

Got the boards in today and they look nice. Could you pm me a parts list for this particular board? Have you heard of a parts coop for these?

Anyway thanks alot...Fast delivery

:D

That was lightning fast shipping.
You must have had Scottie beam them to me.
Did that cost more ?
Thanks, Steve

[Sean Bowf]

Probably not really going to get a chance to deal with the extra boards until Thursday...I will start contacting folks then.

Sean

[RonnieK]

Thanks for the reply Sean. I would like to get 32 boards.

Sean, I have been out of town, but the parents said the package came in early last week.
Thanks

[denysgt]

I think I have sent PMs to all that had post order interest. If I missed anyone, please shoot me a PM.

Sean

[Doug-in-the-woods]

would be interested in 18 boards if any left over or orphaned?

[Sean Bowf]

Plenty left Doug, just sent you a PM.

I assume this COOP is over? I just purchase 3 Renard 64 PCB's from John (8/21/07) and am in need of 48 SSR's for them.

If the COOP is over, can someone provide me with the drawing so I can have 48 of them made? Any suggestions on which PCB manufacturer can do this at the cheapest cost (outside the use of a COOP to make/purchase them)?

Thanks -

Did John send them out yet? I thought he had some SSR PCB's as well? One stop shop, but, I believe Sean just mentioned he had plenty left (just won't be as cheap, though I'm sure he's talking only dollars more if that).

[wjohn]

i am providing SSRs, as required, to REN64 orders and others as requested.

To date, I have shipped 940 SSROZ boards.

[Sean Bowf]

Looks like a different mindset has come about in our community during the time I have been away from these boards... :?

Anyhow, I was gone for the weekend, and am back now, and will contact those that posted to see what they want to do.

[davdue]

I would be interested in some boards if you have some left over from the coop. I have been away from the board for several months. I have two of Brian's 595 boards so I have 32 channels. I guess that I would need 8 boards to use all of my channels.

thanks,

Dave

Dave,

if you have 2 x 595 boards, you will have up to 128 channels available. That would require 32 SSRs (each SSR is 4 channels).

I believe Sean still has boards left over from his COOP.

John.

Dave, what WJohn said is correct about the quantity of channels. Just let me know how many 4 channel SSR PCBs you want, and we will get payment/shipping arranged.

[Doug-in-the-woods]

received SSR boards on thursday the 27th.
Now I need to order parts for more 36 ssr boards, a 595 and a Renard64.
Also need all the cabiling for the Renard and another 250+ feet of cat 5

[John Booker]

I am just finding out about all of this stuff and wondering if there are any ssr boards available... Met RJ yesterday and now I can't get enough :D
Thanks,

WJohn usually has a stock of many of the PCB boards we use. Just send him a PM and he can tell you what he has and how much he is selling them for.

[MakeitBright]

I am looking for unpopulated boards if anyone has them. 8 would be great. 16 would be better. Please let me know who might have some for sale. I have all the other components and really don't want to breadboard them. Thxs

[Wombat]

I am also looking for some boards I would like to get 10 off

Is there any in existance?

Thanks
Wombat

[RavingLunatic]

You'll probably get quicker results by PM'ing Sean directly.

If Sean doesn't have any left check with wjohn to see if he has any.

[Wombat]

Thanks I will :)

[Sean Bowf]

I do not have any more spare boards left.

Anyone interested in SSR PCBs can scroll through this thread and find other folks that posted in this COOP that they were selling boards too...

Sean
