Parts Sources OnLine
Just getting back into homebrewing and looking for the best sources of
parts such as resistors, caps, boxes, etc..... Right now I'm need of a source of MGFxxxx gaasfets. Another question, is there a good online source where I can get specs on gaasfets, npn's transistors, etc..... George |

nk.net... Just getting back into homebrewing and looking for the best sources of parts such as resistors, caps, boxes, etc..... Others have mentioned DigiKey - they are certainly my bread and butter parts source. Customer service is second to none, they have decent prices and most of the "normal" stuff. They are a little weak, however, on RF parts. Dan's Small Parts and Kits http://danssmallpartsandkits.net has a lot of the hard to get stuff, and generally at very, very good prices. However, he only takes orders by snail mail, so with the post office being used in two directions, you need to be prepared to wait a while. W8DIZ http://partsandkits.com has a selection of toroids, and assorted other parts. He doesn't have a lot of stuff, but what he does have is usually at very good prices. BG Micro http://www.bgmicro.com has a changing collection of stuff. Sometimes you can get very good deals on things like LCDs, cases and switches. They tend to be the high-priced spread on crystals and IC's, however. Also, sometimes their stuff is surplus or pulls. Be sure to read carefully. For hardware, Mendelsohn's http://www.meci.com is a great source. They have some pretty strange stuff and their collection changes all the time. Like BG, for some things they seem to be a little pricey, but for others, they can't be beat. If you get a chance to go to Dayton, plan on bringing back many pounds of nuts and bolts from these guys. Typically they will sell many hard to get little bits by the pound. If you need some RF thingie badly, RF Parts http://www.rfparts.com is sometimes the only place. They seem to have the highest prices on the planet, but if you need a high power RF transistor or a transmitting cap, there may be no other source. Another question, is there a good online source where I can get specs on gaasfets, npn's transistors, etc..... Poke the part number into Google. Generally it will return links to datasheets in more languages than you knew there were. ... |

DigiKey has, or maybe used to have, a fee for orders under $25, but they have so much stuff I can't live without that it's never an issue! Most places are going to charge $5-$10 for shipping, too, so tiny orders are a problem anyway. One thing I should mention with DigiKey ... look at the shipping options and specify what you want. Their "default" seems to be 2nd day air, which can be pricey. Where I am, it sometimes saves a day, sometimes not, so at least for me, it's never worth it. But if you have to have that part tomorrow, DigiKey will ship it today if you call them before 8 PM Central time. Once I ordered a part from them that needed special programming. Their programming person had left for the day so they were all in a panic when they realized they couldn't ship that evening. I told them it wasn't a big deal, but at 10 the next morning they called again to assure me that my $3 part had made it onto a truck. ... |
