The PC-900 optocouplers have been ordered from AliExpress... Lots of them apparently.
It's going to be a while until they arrive though... erm... 1st May.
They're definitely coming on the slow boat from China.

Fingers crossed they'll arrive sooner, most of the stuff I've ordered from Aliexpress has very extended delivery times but arrives sooner.stephen_usher wrote: 19 Mar 2025 09:45 The PC-900 optocouplers have been ordered from AliExpress... Lots of them apparently.

Yeah, I've got a few more parcels in the system at the moment, including an eBay purchase which took 2 weeks to get to Evri and has been stuck in their central hub since the weekend.

My wife jokes that the email from Evri stating "we have your parcel" is the first stage in their psychological torture of their end recipient.
