I got the following info from Magnetec:

"
We are pleased to quote as follows:

EMC-Core M-416

1-24 pc. ............ 140,00 EUR/pc.

(See attached file: M-416-01S_prel.pdf)

Sales conditions
Lead time: 10 pcs. from stock, otherwise about 12-14 weeks
Delivery: ex works (neither you tell us forwarder account or we will bill
transport costs of about 150 EUR - depends on weight)
Payment: in advance
"
Anyone have any experience with shipping from Germany. The shipping cost of 150 EUR seems a bit high. Anyone know a shipping method / company that is more cost effective?

they are just telling you its 150 euro for the core not for the shipping, they ship DHL and they don't speak super awesome English.

Shipping depends on the weight its about 2 lbs

@ e2matrix,  'll correct what I said earlier about light dimmers.  They use either SCR's or Triac's and rather than pulsed DC I believe they use chopped AC.  Think of a sine wave with vertical sections of it chopped out.  So more like pulsed AC.  Having refreshed my memory on that it looks like it could have very interesting uses since it's slamming the power on and off suddenly in a way that looks like it will create vibrations and perhaps back EMF in some cases.  I remember how some light bulb filaments would vibrate from a dimmer that was turned way down.

===============================================================================================

Yes, Light Dimmers use Triacs instead of SCRs.  A Triac conducts in BOTH directions, but an SCR only conducts in 1 direction.
As e2matrix says above, the Chopped AC may work better than plain AC because the Chppped AC produces HARMONICS that
help things out.  For only $6 or $7 it is an inexpensive way to control the current.  PLUS, a toaster can still be used in SERIES
with the Dimmer for extra protection as an OVERCURRENT protector if desired.

I have them made here in Kearney Nebraska from L&S industries
4100 East 39th Street Kearney, NE 68847-3987
(308) 236-5853 you will want to talk to Jeff. the part is like 25 bucks you
will need two of them tho.

You can select your metal as well.
The tooling has been paid for... so just order it. no need to make it hard.

The M-416 with about 1000feet of 16awg wire will fit perfectly in the new part. "Like a glove."

25.00 bucks?
The way the US dollar is going ,That'll probably cost YOU [Euro] 4 cents?

No, The shipping quote of 150 EURO for the M-416 core from Magnetecs is to Canada (I'm based in Montreal). We're only about 2 cents above par $US.

I'm checking with DHL.. seems the cheapest to NA.
