Where do you buy your electronic parts from?

<< < (5/7) > >>

In Germany we have Reichelt that is fine for lots of consumer demands.
(I studied some years in that city and still remember me visiting some relatives there (when I was little) where my uncle took me with him to go shopping for some small parts, where they were still a very small shop back then- about 30+ years ago...)

You did. So that's a paradox. But I was about to mention them.

I buy my electronic parts mainly from local sellers (both b&m and online) I don't have the patience to wait for weeks.

ve7xen:
If I want it quickly, DigiKey is the best option, they have a low free shipping threshold and free next day (sometimes same day!), though they haven't been as fast as usual lately.

Otherwise generally LCSC if available. Mouser or Newark often have lower total BOM cost than DK so if I'm not in a rush I might choose them.

I have also used Future Electronics a few times, but their selection isn't nearly as good as DK or Mouser, and the passives and whatnot I used to get there are cheaper from LCSC. Occasionally they'll have some connector I need or something at like 1/2 the price of DK so it's sometimes still worth it to have a peek. Good vendor though, and haven't seen a mention yet  :-+.

Plug for OctoPart which makes figuring this out relatively easy.

ZeTeX:
Arrow, as it offers free express shipping above 50$ I believe  :)

I do not know if it has changed, but some years later when Frau Reichelt was still running the show, the main entrance delivered you immediately in front of the will call counter, which was staffed entirely with handsome men. ;D
