------Question for [0710235](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/phoenix-contact/0710235/2525234) Please Put your question below------

Our company has been purchasing 277-6104-ND, and similar connectors. We were purchasing in individual quantities, but now, the minimum quantity has been changed to 50. These take a Plug Connector which we would have to buy in quantities of 50 now as well. This means every time I need a few sets of these I have to spend around $1,000 (each piece is over $9). Can the minimum quantity be changed back to single pieces, or 10?

Thank you,

Justin

Hi justin4, Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum.

Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, DigiKey does not set or control the minimum order quantities for our products. These MOQs are determined by the manufacturer and we’re unable to adjust them. I was unable to find different orderable PN in this series with no MOQ and I couldn’t find a similar alternative in our system to offer. Sorry for the inconvenience.
