Looking for IC

Hi all

This might be a long shot but thought I might as well ask here anyway

I'm trying to obtain small quantities (4 - 6) Infineon BTS7970B or
BTN7970B ICs nd not having much luck. I can get them from Mouser or
Digikey or
Arrow (as samples) but I cant wait until May for them, which was the
ETA last time I looked.

I can get some on the asian trade but of course MOQs are a problem,
at $10+ a pop I dont want to be stuck with 100 of them.

I have found Rutronik (Germany?) have the item stocked and available
in singular quantities for a modest handling fee which I was prepared to
pay, except to deal with them it appears I need a VAT number (since when
would that be required for an international transaction, I don't see the
point of giving them my ABN either)

Anyway, I might be grasping at straws, but if anyone has any laying
around (wishful thinking) or has any bright ideas I'd love to hear
them.
Thanks in advance

I was hoping that too, but it appears the date format changes with
location, hence the delivery date is the 3rd of May
If you change from au.mouser to the USA site the ETA is 05/03/10 instead
of 03/05/10.

When I first started on this project I didn't think twice about it because
mouser had them in stock, now I've committed myself to using the component
and have to have a prototype done by mid May. Normally it wouldn't bother
me too much ordering Qty to get them ASAP (if I'm not paying for them),
but I'm funding development of this project out of my own pocket and there
is the wife factor :)

Thanks anyway..
