[sdiy] How do you source smd parts (for repair)

[brianw]

Mouser.com

For repair, Mouser has a search engine that will allow you to find many replacements, assuming that you understand all the parameters. You might need to consult data sheets to understand the details, but the Mouser search allows you to focus on the parameters that are important to match (or beat).

DigiKey is also popular, but in my experience they are always significantly more expensive. I always check, though, when something is difficult to locate.
