Be very careful about sourcing parts from China.  There is a huge 
problem with counterfeit electronic parts coming from Asia, and it is 
often nearly impossible to tell fakes from the genuine article.  Many 
buyers have found by sad experience that the vendors lie if asked 
directly about the provenance of their parts.  Several dollars each 
is way more than counterfeits would be worth.
