    Looking for a photo diode. Pref. in Sweden.

    Hi everyone!

    I'm considering building an IR receiver for my HTPC. But if I want it to work with the 455 kHz signal from the Beo4, I need a photo diode, typically Vishay TSOP7000. Unfortunately it seems just about impossible to find one in Sweden. I tried farnell.com, but they only seem to deal with companies.

    Does anybody here know where I should look?

    Thanks!

    I got them from www.embedit.de and they're cheap (around 2 euros a piece, best order at least 10 while you're at it...). Go to "online shop" first, you won't find them on the first page. The delivery was really slow (like one month - I think it was the holiday season), but otherwise I have no complaints.

    If you have problems ordering there or can't find anything else to order (I think the minimum delivery cost is 14,50€), I could probably sell you one or two. Should travel fine in a letter for a couple of euros of postage.
