In the US, where can I order resistor, capacitor, soldering wire, cable, relay and other commonly used electronic components?
Please give some references. Thank you!
The following is a nice website and is a search engine which helps to search the availability of an electronic component in most of the US distributors. One can see the most of electronic stores in US including "digi-key" and "mouser" etc. The link also helps to compare prices.
yes definitely www.Farnell.com, good services and support... i've had 1 occasion when they send wrong components to me... what they do? they ask me to throw away the wrong components(of course not!) and will send me new components (currently their lead time is a month away, no stocks).
about TI, that is true, i've sampled many components for free, make sure u dont post it to your home, post to educational address, and it will totally be free (no taxes and such). however... please dont abuse the free sample programs, please take it seriously.
