where is the best place to buy parts?

[picpop]

I need to find a place to purchase some ztx321 transistors and some other parts, such as, capacitors, inductors,etc. any suggestion? thank you

Hi-


You might try digikey.com and see what they have in
the way of transistors. Mail order and kind of speedy
in their delivery. Prices aren't too bad either.

http://www.digikey.com/

I've also had good luck with these guys, but their
IC inventory is not as extensive as digikey. They seem
to be very prompt. Lots of tools and supplies.

Haven't done business with these guys in years so
I can't give yea or nay on them but:

http://jameco.com/

best of luck!

Cheers,

Rich S.

picpop,

Rich has assumed that you are in the US.

Where are you actually located?

Digikey - Excellent inventory, but not ztx321. Excellent for getting data sheets.

Mouser - Good inventory

Allied Electronics - Major Distributer, been around since the '50s
Newark Electronis - similar to Allied.

Jameco - Fair inventory, but has some unique items

Don't forget

http://www.google.com

or one of the search engines. If you are planning production, always search for <Last buy> to find if the part is going out of production.

Finally, Look at

http://www.eem.com

This is the "electronic engineers master" and lists most companies where parts can be obtained in case you can't find them from the above sources.

I start with Newark, Allied or Digi-Key and go from there.

If I can't even wait one day, I'll try a local supplier or a nearby Radio Shack, but the Shack has almost zero inventory of hardly any parts, like a 741 op amp or a 555 timer, but not much else.

I really like digikey and newark

 

[eemotor]

Digi-Key at digikey.com is probably your best option as far as availability and selection goes. If you want to get general parts such as capacitors, etc. on the cheap, it's worth checking out All Electronics Corp at

http://www.allcorp.com/

and Electronic Goldmine at

http://www.goldmine-elec.com/
