Buying Flex Sensors in the UK

[manutdfan2004]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a uk supplier of Flex sensors? Spent ages trawling through google and can't seem to find any, just saves paying extra for postage.

Something along the lines of this;
http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?jameco_page=42&langId=-1&productId=150551&catalogId=10001&freeText=flex+sensor&storeId=10001&search_type=all&ddkey=http:StoreCatalogDrillDownView

Also I am looking for miniature accelerometers, ideally around the size of pennies so they can be mounted onto fingers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't help with the flex sensors but you can get accelerometers that are the size of a 14 pin chip from here:-

I can't find a UK source, but you could single-source here:

and pay one shipping charge.

Look to freescale for tiny accelarometers.

Maplin do QTC "pills" and if you get their catalogue they offer cable too.
Unfortunately, they don't list the cable on the web site, but they do list the pills

The order code for the cable (100mm for £1.99 inc VAT) is N19BU
