Are the socket cups that need to be installed to the back plane boards available at mouser? I thought it would be a good idea to assemble the back plane boards in the living room last night. Well I dropped one of these tiny socket cups into a shag carpet rug and have officially given up the search.

If I need to order them from Joe that's fine but I thought I would get them from mouser if available and pick them up so I may continue assembly.
thanks
 
It seems there was 1 extra supplied in the kit so I have the amount I need! Wish I would have continued last night rather than searching for it haha
 
And I have had to make use of that extra one meszelf a few times, they are tiny little bastards!!

Yep,
Been on the hands and knees a time or two looking for those little suckers. Now after buying so many kits i have dozens of spares.

I tried it, it has enough ferrous material to be weakly picked up from a table with a neodymium magnet but no chance from the carpet.

that is likely the nickel underlayment before the gold and silver plate that is slightly magnetic
