Hi all, Does anybody know the cheapest online source for MK electrical components (switches, sockets, etc..). I was looking for a good quality branded sockets and switches plus 2 gang modular based datacomms sockets, All help appreciated.
Regards
Seamus
Thankx in advance!
You can get the datacomms stuff from RS components (logic plus plates which fit krone modules), pretty cheaply. I'd suggest screwfix for sockets etc, but I'm sure someone on this group will shoot me down for saying that. In small numbers, even B&Q warehouse-size places would be worth considering (now someone's going to get even more angry!).. My local one has a good range at about 5-10% more expensive than the cheapest on the net, which isn't much if you're not getting a lot and not paying for delivery.
Cheers
Tom
TLC Direct have reasonably good prices.
If you have a lot to get then it's worth going to a trade wholesaler like WF Electrical and negotiating a discount.

Unless you *really* like the look of MK, I'd say it's rather overpriced. Other makes will be just as reliable in practice.
Q stories about MK lasting forever and everything else breaking the next day...;-)
I got a load of that sort of stuff from Screwfix recently. Just went for their "select" sockets which were £1.40 for a double (dual pole too). As for data comms, their front plates and keystone RJ45 sockets were about as cheap as I could find.
Screwfix delivery is a bag of s**t at the moment thought. Although, I noticed today they finally accepted the blame was due to their moving warehouse. Previously it had been our fault for wanting to buy too much of their stuff!
Which ones are they? I cannot find MK Select DP for that price.

Ah, I see the confusion. I meant Screwfix's Select range, not MK's. They aren't MK units. The part # for a double socket is D14171-75, coming in at £1.45 each. They're not curved like the MK's but rather square.
