I just caught what you were asking lol, I'm a little burned out these days. I was searching for Andy's suggestion to see if there was something here but it's complicated. Electronic component distributors here are not that big like the ones in the US . So they don't have the variety you have there. Also they are not that well optimized for online selling like for example Digikey, so searching for a component is really a pain in the ass sometimes. In fact, many times in the past when my brother and I were experimenting with induction heaters, it was a lot easier and practical to purchase everything from Digikey and ship it here, the shipping usually took 3 or 4 days. The obvious problem is when you have to purchase 5 USD on an item and the shipping costs like 80 USD.
