Hi Nigel @nigelthurlow ,

This might work for you. Note the lead-time.

Looks like we don’t have anything in stock to offer as an alternate, unfortunately.

Heke’s suggestion of DR040D254P040-ND would be our best option as of now.

Since I dislike sending people to Amazon for parts, I would suggest checking to see if any distributor has part number DR040D254P040 or a cross-reference in stock. It’s a good option to have if all else fails though.

Well, the Japanese company Sunhayato is producing high quality adapter boards. I use them frequently. Bazaar-like sites like Amazon are not typically a reliable source for professional procurement, but sometimes they are the most practical choice. RS carries Sunhayato, but they were out of stock.

I’ll admit that’s true, personal bias aside, as long as you know it’s sourced from a trustworthy manufacturer that removes most of the issues with these kinds of sites. Sometimes you just have to buy what’s available.
