New Page Just Opened! Prime Electronic Parts by the Foot! Transistors, Rectifiers, and Diodes, as little as 8 cents each! Great deals on popular service and experimenter's parts, now you can buy them the way large manufacturers do, in bulk tape and reel, at rock bottom prices. These parts are sold by the foot. Yes, we are metric in Canada, but this is really the appropriate size for most people, and 30.48 cm just doesn't have the same ring to it! All the popular signal diodes, rectifiers and transistors you need on a regular basis, with FULL DATA. Have a look at this great new section HERE, we will be adding to it regularly as we find more suitable parts. |
1 Fascinating Pound !![]() CLICK to look INSIDE the Bag! |
Wahoo, Electronic Grab bags are BACK! We keep accumulating miscellaneous parts that are extras, come with bigger lots, and are being purged from our stock. At the same time, many people grumble about paying the minimum shipping charge when they ship something small. Well, we have the technology to solve this problem. We will add a 1 Pound grab bag of new parts (mainly, there might be the odd pulled or used but useful item) to fill up the extra weight in your shipment! Some of the material is pretty spectacular, you will certainly get good value for your money. They include resistors, capacitors, ICs, chokes, semiconductors, switches, assemblies, and all kinds of mystery items, NO TWO BAGS ARE ALIKE. We have four categories, electronic parts, mechanical/hardware, vacuum tubes (will be some used types in every bag), and connectors/cables. Any type, US$15. If you want a 1 Pound bag by itself to add to any order, it's the same price. The stuff inside is really excellent material, you won't be disappointed! |

Sealed RF Project Case A beautifully made, sealed cast aluminum case, with silver-gray powder coated finish from ROSE+Bopla. A custom case design with 1 female N (gold center pin), and 4 female SMA (gold center pin) connectors with independent ground attachment blocks for PC boards. A fantastic case for any kind of RF/Divider/Detector/Amplifier application, brand new in factory sealed bags. If you need to make any kind of RF accessory, you should have a look at these while they last, all have built in mounting flanges, captive lid hardware and bare bottom surfaces for optimal grouding. This is a custom version of the stock 01061200 00 case design. These are much easier to work with than the samll Pomona boxes for RF work, and already include very high quality connectors.

| S0157D/CYHC-42964-51 12VDC Motors ![]() HK S0157D Motor, CLICK for bigger PIC! |
S0157D/CYHC-42964-51, Amazingly powerful 2 inch diameter (4 inch long) 12VDC/0.18A gearmotors (approx. 1.4 rotations per second at 12VDC), with massive torque. These motors will run down to 1.8V/0.11A (with approx. 1 rotation per 12 seconds), still with torque so high you cannot stall the shaft by hand. Brush style motors with a reducing gearbox, they are excellent for all kinds of electromechanical devices, with enough rest friction to allow the motor to act as a brake on the drive shaft. There is also a tach/generator for speed control (yellow wires) which outputs approx. 9.29V/373Hz at 12VDC, and 1.2V/46Hz at 1.8V of motor drive. Red and black wires for the motor, with integral beads for RF suppression, and Faston connectors in the positive lead to allow a hash filter to be inserted. Tapped holes on both ends of the motor for attachment, and the shaft (D-flatted) is 0.25 inches in diameter by 0.65 inches long. Fully reversible, with all leads floating, draws 0.3A at 12VDC heavily loaded on the drive shaft. Have 45 pcs., $24 each |
Toshiba TA8050P Motor Driver![]() Toshiba TA8050P Motor Driver, CLICK for bigger PIC! |
1.5A / 24VDC Bipoolar Motor Driver This chip provides direct DC motor control with 4 operating modes (2 logic line control) FORWARD, REVERSE, STOP and BRAKE. TTL level logic control, easily interfaced to switches, logic or microcontrollers, and 2 floating motor pins with suppression diodes, thermal, over-voltage and over-current protection. H-bridge design provides motor reversal with only a single power supply (typ. 6-16VDC) and motor braking function. Speed control can be achieved by combining a PWM signal with forward/reverse logic commands. A great way to control all kinds of small DC motors, works great with the motor above. Have 1,764 pcs., $4 each Factory Tube of 28 pcs, $95 |

Sanyo Denki, CLICK to visit! ![]() CLICK for bigger PIC! ![]() CLICK for bigger PIC! DC FINE ACE 109P0412H601 12VDC Fan +T |
1.6"/40mm/12VDC FAN +T Sanyo Denki FINE ACE 20 plus alarm assembly 40mm square DC Brushless fan, 12VDC, 0.11A, 20mm inch thick, with Tach output, flying red/black/yellow leads soldered into the PCB. Medium 0.225 cubic meters/min airflow (approx. 8CFM), 5-blade design, 32dBa noise level. UL/CSA/TUV Listed fan. Assembled into a fan/PSU alert module from Bird Products Corp., Assembly 50660, Rev. G. This can be run from 24 to 11VDC (or even less, but fan speed suffers). The fan is fixed at 12V or less (via the regulator), and has an integral fault alarm if it becomes stalled, which sounds a loud acoustic transducer. A very handy assembly, this has input power leads with TYCO FASTON double connectors that allows a second connection to each lead. Very well made, and easily disassembled if the alarm is used separately from this fan, as it should work with almost any 12V fan that has a tach output. This assembly would be perfect to ventilate and cool a constantly charging 12V battery pack in a UPS or similar system. Each one is indivudually bagged and sealed in an anti-static bag for protection.
