This is a parts list for statesiders like me. I'll add to the list as I can, or someone can make a better one and I'll take this down, or email suggestions etc. to bridechamber@hotmail.com. I use a few different suppliers. Mouser and Digi-Key are pretty much the same as far as I know. I use Mouser because I heard of them first; their customer service is also superb. For some stuff I use allelectronics.com and unicornelectronics.com because they're cheaper (and Unicorn has free shipping on orders over $20), but I've included Mouser part numbers on most things for convenience. If something is available at another, cheaper place, I'll state ALL (Allelectronics) or UNI (Unicorn) and give their prices. Prices in $.10/100 format mean ten cents each if you order 100, not 100 for 10 cents. Resistors: I get ammo packs of resistors from Mouser. You can get 10 packs of different values, w/ 1000 in each pack, for $4.75 each. That's less than half a cent per. And, no matter what happens in your life, you know you've got the 750k situation covered! Here are the prices for carbon, metal film, and smaller amounts: carbon ammo pack 291-value/ap (example: 291-1.0k/ap) $5.80/1 $5.00/5 $4.75/10 carbon loose 291-value (must be ordered in 10's) $.07/10 $.009/200 metal film ammo pack 271-value/ap $12/1 $11/5 $10/10 caps: 100p mouser 581-sa102a101j .19 .17/100 470p mouser 581-sa101a471j .20 1n mouser 581-sa101c102k .13 .11/100 1n5 (ceramic) mouser 140-50p2-152k .06 .034/200 (poly?) mouser 581-sr201a152j .82 4n7 mouser 581-sa101c472k .14 10n mouser 581-sa101c103k .11/100 33n mouser 581-sa105e333m .22 100n mouser 581-sa105e104m .11/100 330n mouser 140-pf1h334k .38 .24/100 1u mouser 140-xrl25v1.0 .05 .035/100 2u2 mouser 140-xrl25v2.2 .05 .035/100 10u mouser 140-xrl25v10 .05 .035/100 10u tantalum mouser 80-t350e106k025 .67 .59/25 UNI .33 .31 semis: 40106/74c14 mouser 512-cd40106be .51 UNI (under linear) 74c14.39 lf353 mouser 511-lf353n .48 UNI (under linear) .33 lm358 mouser 511-lm358an .38 UNI (under linear) .33 1n4148 mouser 625-1n4148 .06 UNI (under general diodes).04 .03/25 .02/100 5v6 zener mouser 625-1n5232b .07 4001 mouser 511-4001 .34 UNI (under cmos) .19 4011 mouser 511-4011 .34 UNI (under cmos) .19 4017 mouser 511-4017 .60 UNI (under cmos) .29 4024 mouser 511-4024 .48 UNI (under cmos) .29 4030 mouser 511-4030 .40 UNI (under cmos) .29 4046 mouser 511-4046 .70 UNI (under cmos) .45 4081 mouser 511-4081 .34 UNI (under cmos) .19 4520 mouser 511-4520 .58 UNI (under cmos) .39 741 mouser 511-ua741cn .30 UNI (under linear) .19 dac0800 mouser ?
