Who benefits from buying Bulgin in small quantities?
Anyone who has had to buy more than they needed. Here's how the changes help:
Design engineers building prototypes
Order prototype quantities of the exact Bulgin connector in your design, whether that's one, two or three. No leftover packs and no hunting for a supplier who'll split a box.
Maintenance engineers needing spares
When a Buccaneer connector or anti-vandal switch fails, order a single replacement part. It's an easy way to keep MRO and maintenance spares topped up without tying up budget in stock.
OEM and production buyers
Small batch production runs no longer have to fit a supplier's pack size. If you need ten, buy ten, at a competitive price.
Education and prototyping labs
Students and lab technicians can buy small quantities of electronic components for projects, teaching kits and test rigs, without bulk-buying.
Bulgin Buccaneer connectors: now from single units
Bulgin Buccaneer is the biggest part of this change: around 45 Buccaneer connectors and accessories can now be bought one at a time. Buccaneer connectors are sealed circular connectors built for outdoor equipment, industrial machinery and harsh environments.
The Buccaneer connectors now available from single units include:
Buccaneer accessories such as sealing caps and cable glands were previously sold in quantities of 25 to 50. Now you can buy exactly the number of caps and glands your connectors need.
Bulgin IEC C14 connectors and power entry modules
Some of the biggest changes are on Bulgin IEC connectors: minimum order quantities that used to be as high as 200 have dropped to one. If you've ever needed one IEC mains socket and been asked to buy a box of 200, this one's for you.
The Bulgin IEC connectors now available from single units include:
That makes it easy to replace a single IEC power entry module during a repair, or to buy a handful of C14 inlets for a prototype enclosure.
Bulgin push button and anti-vandal switches
Ten Bulgin switches are part of the change, including anti-vandal switches that were previously sold in quantities of up to 50. They're ideal for kiosks, access control panels, public-facing equipment and anywhere a switch needs to withstand rough treatment.
The Bulgin switches now available from single units include:
So if an illuminated anti-vandal switch fails on an access control panel, you can order a single replacement at a competitive price.
