        --Low metal content but I'm searching for a widget for a project in
progress. It's a socket to mount an LED. I've found two sources: one surplus
that's dried up and the other retail that's *outrageously* expensive. Here's
a photo of the part: http://www.ddp-leds.com/Config.aspx?nProductsID=21
        --I need a thousand of the one on the left; surplus that would cost
me $50 which is acceptable; retail they'd set me back $860 plus tax and
shipping!
        --Has anyone got another source for these things surplus?
        TIA,

Can you use something like this, Steamer?

http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=67-1044-ND

U$27 buys you 1,000 of them. New.

If that isn't exactly what you need, you might log to http://www.digikey.com/
and enter the phrase "led clip" in the search window.

I think you need to give us a better idea of the application so we can
suggest a more appropriate way to do the job.
