source for GUVA-S12D

Post by uhclem »

Hello Adafruit! I have bought a number of your UV sensor breakout boards, and they are very nice, but I would like to use the sensor in my own product and am hoping you could share with me where you got the raw sensor? Do I have to order 1000+ from Rothnier Technik? Failing that, cheapest thing I can come up with is to order a knockoff boards from China, and place them in the reflow oven to get the parts off. I don't like the idea of subjecting the part to three thermal cycles, though.

Your help would be greatly appreciated! Here's my current project using a raw SI1132. What a pain to place and solder that part!

I'm afraid our supplier contracts forbid sharing that information with third parties.

Looks like there is a genuine:

And a knockoff or Chinese reseller (not sure which):

Oh well, at least you have a board to get me started. I'm sure I just have to buy 1000 to get it from the source.
