Terry Bites:
I haven't used RS for a while. OMG what a website!
Clearly deisgned by and signed off on by some who who's never spoken to an engineer in thier live's.
I gave up trying to find axial 1/4W MF resistors. RS and Farnell lost the plot years ago using bizarre criteria and language that humans don't.
I can see that know one seems to know how to sort passive component values. How about selecting the E series(s) of interest, a power, a tolerance, a package for starters.
Thats not overly complex.
Anyhow, thats the last time I use RS. Dont get me started on their comatose tradecounters....... Can i see my order, no. Not for 15 minutes sir. Can I see my invoice, err no. Would you like to request one.... What!!! So they don't understand engineers or online commerce it seems. WALOB!
chilternview:
A search on their website for "0.25w axial metal film resistor' finds them immediately, what's the problem?
They are still the only supplier that I can order at 6pm and get it delivered the next day.
mendip_discovery:
Sadly these sites are full of errors, they have 1 thing listed you look at the description text and says another with the datasheet being for even another thing so which do you trust.
I also dislike the consistency when looking up stuff like resistors you can get 500 ohm or 0.5 kohm but they are listed as two separate lists and because they auto-sort it you have to scroll about to find it all. Does get a little tiring.
But as already mentioned, you get stuff next day and though not cheap it works.
David Aurora:
I've come to hate RS with a passion, but I just looked for the resistors you mentioned and if you couldn't manage to find them that's definitely a you problem :-//
nali:
OK, now you try searching for one that's *in stock*
