Here is my list of companies which will sell electronic components in
small quantities. Most of these places I have bought from, a couple I
haven't. Being a ham radio operator, I am most interested in RF
components, and in particular, air variable capacitors, which tend to
be scarce (and tend to be used or surplus even if I've otherwise
labelled the seller as "NEW"). I apologize in advance for disparaging
remarks about what happens when parts suppliers start selling
computers, but anyone who has watched Jameco over the years will know
just what I mean (though their latest catalog hints at possibly
returning to selling parts).
_________________________________________________________________
Categories:
NEW COMPONENTS
Distributors and sellers of new components, or "new and some
used" in a couple of cases.
SURPLUS ELECTRONICS
Usually overstocks, occasionally used equipment. Ideal for
stocking the junkbox, usually have dependable stock lines of
resistors, capacitors, and some semiconductors, but won't have
those LCD modules forever... An invaluable resource, don't shy
away from them.
SPECIALTY COMPONENTS
In particular, crystals and toroidal cores.
KITS
Ham radio kits, random electronic kits, whatever they have.
LITTLE GUYS
Separated out because of some twisted sentimentality, I
suppose. Intended to honor one or two ham spare-bedroom
operations. Note that sending $1 along with catalog requests is
a big help for these folks.
PUBLICATIONS
Two publications which are essentially all want-ads, plus the
address for SAMS PHOTOFACTS because everyone always asks about
it on sci.electronics.
MANUALS
NOTES
CHANGES FROM LAST REVISION
Note on shipping costs: I don't always update these frequently enough,
and they're generally for continental US unless otherwise mentioned.

NEW COMPONENTS:
Ocean State Electronics
P.O. Box 1458
Westerly RI 02891
+1-800-866-6626 (orders)
+1-401-596-3080
+1-401-596-3590 (FAX)
Minimum $5, S&H $4, free catalog. Wide array of RF parts, especially
air variables and B&W coils.
Radiokit (store is located at:)
P.O.Box 973 169 Jeremy Hill Rd.
Pelham NH 03076 Pelham NH 03076
+1-603-635-2235
+1-603-635-2943 (FAX)
No minimum ($3 service charge if under $20), many kits, lots of J. W.
Miller chokes & coils, B&W coils, RF switches, Millen variable
capacitors, lots of parts in general. As of 24-Feb-94, they are again
STILL out of catalogs, and just barely might have one by Dayton this
year. They do accept mail orders, but you'll have to call for prices
and availability. A classified ad in 3/94 QST says "Call/SASE", I
guess they may have fliers.
Circuit Specialists Inc
P. O. Box 3047
Scottsdale AZ 85271-3047
+1-800-528-1417
No minimum with check or money order, $15 otherwise. $3 S&H. New
electronics, good RF assortment, increasing infestation of computers.
Mouser Electronics Mouser Electronics Mouser Electronics

Catalog Subscriptions: (800) 992-9943 (Continental US only)
Sales & Service: (800) 34-MOUSER (800-346-6873) (US, Puerto R., Canada)
Very complete catalog of brand-new components (though no air
variables). Usually quick service, $20 "minimum" ($5 charge under
$20). When ordering, you may want to be sure to ask about availability
and shipping locations; they have several warehouses, and frequently
orders will get sent from several warehouses (which drives up the
shipping costs). Export orders have a $100 minimum, except for Canada
and Mexico.
Digi-Key
701 Brooks Ave. South
P.O.Box 677
Thief River Falls, MN 56701-0677
+1-800-DIGI-KEY (334-4539)
+1-218-681-3380 (FAX)
No minimum, $5 handling under $25, free and very complete catalog,
very nice indeed. Prices aren't always the best, but rarely excessive.
Weak on RF specialty parts (though they now have the ever-popular
NE602N), but they do have blue LEDs.
Active Electronics
11 Cummings Park 237 Hymus Blvd
Woburn MA 01801 Pointe Claire, Quebec, H9R 5C7
+1-800-677-8899 (Main number for US and Canada)
+1-514-630-7410 (International)
+1-514-697-8112 (FAX)
$25 minimum, $5 S&H UPS, catalog has a "$10 Suggested retail price"
but they sent mine for free. They have 8 stores in the US (Santa Clara
CA; Chicago IL; Baltimore MD; Woburn MA; Detroit MI; Mt. Laurel NJ;
Long Island NY; Seattle WA) and 10 stores in Canada (Quebec City;
Montreal (2); Ottawa; Mississuaga; Winnipeg; Calgary; Toronto;
Edmonton; Vancouver BC). Each store has its own 800 number and FAX
number, call the main number(s). International orders are to be mailed
to the Canadian address, but they want payment in US funds! Lots of
stuff, oriented more toward supplying last-minute requirements of
companies than hobbyists, but perfectly happy to take your money in
small doses (stores have no minimum order). The $25 minimum for
certain items is no longer explicit, but they note that some items
will "ship in factory minimum package quantities", which might be
worse.

They don't have a single mail address or phone; instead, one is
supposed to call the closest of three pages worth of branch offices. I
don't feel like typing in the entire list (it's copyrighted, anyway
:-), so send email for your "local" distributor, or call their
administrative offices at the number above. They have a $25 minimum
order; they are a Real Distributor, but accept small orders (over the
minimum, of course). Their catalog currently 1248 pages; they are very
complete (except, of course, for my favorite scarce item, the
air-variable capacitor). Note that the catalog prices tend not to
match reality all that often, so order by phone rather than by mail;
prices tend to be higher than other places, but they have a lot of
things that are hard to find from other outlets. Also note that they
have six Canadian offices, and one UK office, and will take
international orders at 500 N. Pulaski St., Chicago IL 60624-1019,
