Now I’m not in any way connected with Rapid Electronics in the UK, but I really do like using their services. If you order before around 8pm they usually deliver next day, and whilst I do wish their product range was a little larger in some areas, you can usually find what you need (or often an acceptable equivalent) and their prices are usually some of the best. As always when shopping, it pays to look around of course.
You can also be sure that their stock is genuine and non of this fake or out of spec rubbish that you can sometimes get landed with off auction sites.
I’ve just been looking on their site this morning, putting together my next order and they have some real bargains right now. I’ve listed a few below that caught my eye.
47-3302 L78S05CV +5v 2amp regulators at 20p each (normally they are 56p)
You can use these as a direct replacement for the usually cheaper 1 amp versions.
78-0206 16 key waterproof keypads at 3.15 each.
Just because it’s waterproof doesn’t stop you using it indoors.
22-2431 15-way 90 degree pin headers (like molex connectors) for around 7p each, and 22-2432 16-way versions for 11p each. These are ideal for cannibalising for their 90degree pins. You can then use these pins to convert smaller way connectors into 90degree versions. This means you don't need to buy seperate striaght and the more expensive 90 degree variants. The 16 way ones are also great for soldering to LCD displays as well.
77-0142 26-way right angle PCB mount hi-density D-type plugs. These are great for those projects that need a nice compact hi-density connector on the front. And they are only around 2p each.
They also have loads of stuff in their clearance section that’s worth a search.
