[sci.electronics] Seeking surface mount components

rosso@sco.COM (Ross Oliver) (02/04/89)

Can anyone recommend a source for small quantities of
surface-mount components?  Digi Key sells a few ICs,
but offers resistor and capacitor "chips" only in large
(5,000) quantities.  Are there any vendors that
offer a decent variety in small (say 10 per value)
quantities for prototyping?

Please respond via email to uunet!sco!rosso

Thanks,

The  March '89 issue of Radio Electronics magazine has, on page 82,
an ad for surface mount resistor and capacitor prototyping kits.
Here's the info:

        CC-1 Capacitor Kit contains 365 pieces, 5 each, of every
        10% value from 1pf to .33uf.  
        CR-1 Resistor Kit contains 1540 pieces, 10 each of every 5% value
        from 10 ohm to 10 megohm.
        Sizes are 0805 and 1206.

        Each kit is $49.95.  Available for immediate one-day delivery.

I have no affiliation with this company.  I haven't used their product.
I only saw the ad and passed along this information.
