Hi all -

I need a MF resistor source with the following attributes:

- great prices (obviously)

- easy to order

- variety packs with usable values would be great

Also, does anyone know of a good source for SIP op amps? I'm mainly interested in 4558's, the TL0XX family, and similar. I'm looking for an easy approach to replacing the Mitsubishi SIP's, and don't like the cheesy adapters for the SIP-to-DIP conversion.

Thanks,
MW

MoonWatcher:

what kind of tolerance do you need on em?

for small quantities of stuff with cheap shipping:
www.cascadesurplus.com has no minimum order and first class shipping of less than $3 on most orders. they have 1uf caps @$0.25 ea.

for larger quantities i order from www.mouser.com or if i need it faster i order from www.digikey.com

for op amps i usually order from www.smallbearelec.com

Any tolerance will do - I need them for lower noise with circuits that have a ton of stuff going on.

I typically use Mouser for 90% of my components, but hate navigating thru all of the pages to pick out the different values.

I'd really like a 500 ct. pack that has all the popular values from 1K up to 1 meg.

Thanks for re-directing me to Small Bear. It became apparent that the SIP 4558 chip has an L at the end, instead of a D. Mouser has the L's for about a dime cheaper than SB, but they are clearing out their inventory! Once they're gone, that's it...

Thanks, Z...

haha.

i just saw you meant resistors...

my bad. i buy em from those places too but was thinkin bout caps.

cascade is where i get 1uf caps when i don't have $25 worth of stuff i need to order from the bigger places.

i know MF resistors usually have very low tolerance.
