How to Shop and Find Electronic Parts!

- Today's video was created in response to so many people asking me for part numbers for common electronic parts. I can understand it might be overwhelming, but in this video, I walk you through step by step how to use the selection filters to narrow down what you are looking for out of the hundreds of thousands of parts listed!

Building custom electronics is truly is a labor of love. I am OCD and spend hours researching to find just the right parts. It's also about teaching and mentoring others that have the passion, and you're an invaluable asset to this community. Thanks! 😃
Be great if you done a video on transformers. How to understand them, cross compatibility, impedance etc. Thanks.
Great suggestion!
This will definitely help me out! Highly appreciate your videos.
Glad to help!
Good informative video. It would be nice to see a video on vintage part codes for example bumble bee capacitors.

Stephe what a great video, i have had a lot of trouble with this very thing, this should help a lot of people. When is your next tube amp shootout video coming?
I hope next week. I have been catching up on projects for friends.
I normally use the In Stock filter, but I have had problems using the Normally Stocked filter. So many problems that I just don't use it any more. I have also found that Mouse prices are generally a little cheaper than Digikey.
Thanks for this. I'm one of those people that this video really helped😀
Glad it helped!
The lesser-than/greater-than feature is useful too. For instance, you can filter out all voltage ratings below 450v, or all cap diameters over 35mm, etc. The ‘shift-click’ and ‘control-click’ is great for selecting band-pass parameters too
Great tips!
Awesome video..I wish this was available 2 weeks ago 😂 I just did my first parts order recently. For me I found Mouser to be the easiest to navigate. The majority of parts I needed were going on a PCB with limited space..so being able to choose parts by lead space and dimensions (as well as other important factors) was extremely helpful. I will say it probably took me a week of research in my off time to figure out what you just explained in 10 minutes. After seeing this video I do need to go back and check a couple of things I may have done wrong. Extremely helpful video 👍
Great video ❤️
Glad you liked it!!
Another great video for those starting out. Parts in uk is an issue that seems to be getting worse in my opinion. I end up using Mouser, Digi Key etc shipping from US. I Just have to plan parts very carefully as there is a minimum order value with free shipping. RS components in UK is also worth a look. Shipping from mouser is mental, I have had orders next day from Texas. HiFi collective is the only place I have found in UK for high end items (Audio Note, Mundorf etc) I still struggle to find wire rated over 400v at the correct guage.
For wire used with DC, it's 50% higher than the AC rating, so 300VAC rated wire is good for 450VDC to ground and 900V wire to wire.

I took your advice and bought two of the 8 ohm resistor bars from you video. I bought two so I could cover 4, 8 and 16 ohm scenarios. Could you show us how these get hooked together and connected to an amp as a dummy load? Thanks.
You would hook them in series for 16ohm, use as a single for 8 ohm and parallel for 4 ohm.
Hi, behind you is that a Komet or Atomic rotary valve engine with a motoplat ignition coil?
Open class (Methanol) Yamaha KT100A rotary valve with a piston port cylinder.
I am looking for the used electronic parts for reuse .and keep buying on long term base .
please try to teach me how find some reliable suppliers in USA.
many thanks
How about finding lower priced transformers? Looking up just the power supply transformer at > $100, it’s kind of a buzz-kill realizing you’d need to spend $300-$400 or more for parts alone.
The iron has always been the single most expensive part of any build. It's hard to cheap out on that and still have high quality sound.
I have also used RS Components but I find their search engine is not quite as good. They often will only supply a minimum quantity of some components and they always list their own 'RS Pro' components first. I have read that these are just average quality.
