That would be very cool. We could design the "smallest" board possible and order a big bach of MMBF5457 and MMBFJ201. Those you can buy in 3000+ reels original from Fairchild.

I don't know how much it would be to request to manufacture like 3000x 5457s and 3000x J201s.

Also, it would be cool (but I don't know if it is feasible) if the P&P could already solder the leads :D

if you go to a board manufacturing house, they'll use solder paste and a reflow oven. much more efficient than soldering the leads manually.

CAD pricing on J201's from mouser


1:  $0.783
10:  $0.461
100:  $0.218
1,000:  $0.162

MouseReel™ Reel Service Fee $8.50 Price will be calculated in cart.
Full Reels of 3000
To purchase full reel, order in multiples of 3000:

3,000: $0.138
9,000: $0.125
24,000: $0.117
45,000: $0.104


so you'd be lookin at $300-400 for a reel of 3000 + cost of the adapter boards + cost of populating them.
