| 847792 | 2010-01-11 23:00:00 | But even Jaycar doesn't have an awesome range of components either. For the basic stuff they're OK, better than Dick Smith for sure but if you want something more interesting than a resistor you have to go somewhere like RS Components or Farnell Especially for semiconductors anyway. But then in that case eBay is cheaper. I bought 8x Atmega8 ICs for about $10 NZ, you can buy ONE of them from Jaycar for $30!! |

Farnell I'm pretty sure is online only. There are a few other shops which aren't too bad, like Surplustronics, TESA, Tradetech, Sicom |

| 847796 | 2010-01-12 08:05:00 | Do you need to be a business to buy from RS? Or can any Joe Bloggs use them? | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||

Some of their stuff is pretty expensive, though Farnell is often worse. What I buy though isn't anything special, and they do seem to have pretty good pricing for high quality electrolytic capacitors.. eg: Rubycon\Panasonic Do you need to be a business to buy from RS? Or can any Joe Bloggs use them? As far as I know anyone with a credit\debit card is welcome... don't know if they accept other methods, probably do. |
