I noticed that the OEP website no longer exists, and whatever web presence they had seems to have been rolled into Carnhill.co.uk.
I was trying to find out if anything changed regarding the A262CAN shield can that they provide for their transformers.
I just ordered a couple transformers and cans from Newark.com (apparently the only US vendor for OEP). I've ordered several of these over the years from Newark, and every time I bought shield cans, they included the bottom plate. This time around, there were no bottom plates in the package. Contacted Newark, and the rep tells me there's no bottom plate for that item. I tell him that, not only have I gotten bottom plates before, but every other OEP vendor in the world includes a bottom plate, as depicted on their sites. (Newark's site, for some reason, only depicts the can itself.) They do not offer the plate as a separate item either. After I give him this response, he writes back and suggests I contact Newark tech support.
