Hi,

DigiKey part no. 289-1032-ND

It used to cost $12, but it's now closer to $20.

DigiKey has processing fees under a certain amount, and the inverter
isn't pin-compatible, so the board has to be adapted for the new
inverter. I -might- order inverters in bulk and make adapters if
enough people need them, but I would do this only in a few months or
even in a few years.
