 Hello All,

I have a list of various electronics parts that I am looking for; however; I cannot find in one or 2 place. Do you know or aware of any distributor for this that I can; at least find the most of it? Please I am in need of great help. Thanks.

What are the parts? and have you tried any of the people with banners on the top of the page.

I have a list of them; which consist of transistor, I.C.s , Caps and diodes. Would you like to see the list?

Have you tried Digikey (http://www.digikey.com/)? If they don't have something it probably doesn't exist. Just type the part numbers into the search box (one at a time!) and it will find them. No account needed.

Yeah I was using that website but the problem is; it is very complicated. I think it has its own part number, and the part numbers I have is the one from the actual parts. You think you can kindly guide me?

You enter the part number you know in the search box, it comes up with a multiple choice showing all the Digikey parts that match the number you entered. You narrow the choice, it comes up with a smaller multiple choice, and so on until you arrive at a single part.

try a few of these.....

This should get you started. I buy a lot of parts from distributors in china on Ebay, usually caps,connectors,resistors (SMD) and semiconductors.
I also buy PROMS/EPROM/EEPROM and PIC chips from "IC-China" on Ebay....

Thank you for the replies; I am already searching. By the way what is the prices differences in these? Also I heard ebay is more expensive than any other. Is it true?

Like anything else...it depends.
You will find that some of the electronic places that was listed above
will have tons of parts you need but sometimes you have to buy 50 pieces to save money...
shopping around using the internet and all kinds of websites really - is the way to go nowadays! :89-

Ebay is good for two particular things : obsolete parts that regular distributors don't carry any more, and parts made in China. As an example of the second, you can buy 100 white LEDs (http://cgi.ebay.com/100p-5mm-SUPER-BRIGHT-WHITE-LED-18-000mcd-FREE-RESISTOR_W0QQitemZ190349163637QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2c51b1bc75) for $15 including shipping from a seller in Hong Kong, where the US distributors have them priced at $2 or more each. You can get 50 CR2032 lithium cells (http://cgi.ebay.com/50-Sealed-Lithium-CR2032-CR-2032-3V-Cell-Button-Battery_W0QQitemZ320312970470QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a94240ce6) for $8 including shipping, where your local store has them marked at $1.25 each. Almost anything made in China, from resistors to cell phones, can be had from these Hong Kong sellers at a ludicrous discount. I use them a lot and have never been let down.
