i just need to know if there is a specific list of parts that every electronics builder should have in their toolbox for any project, especially for a beginner like me that just wants to have a toolbox full of stuff that i dont have to worry about ordering when i need something. thanks

1/4 watt 5% resistors between 100 ohms and 100k
ceramic caps, 0.1uF 20 volts, lots, for IC bypassing
100uF aluminum 10 volts for bypassing
various digital ICs in the 74LS or ALS family, like 00, 02, 04, 08, 74
555 timer ICs
some GP opamps like LM741
GP NPN transistors, 2N2222
GP PNP transistors, 2N2904
signal diodes, 50 volts 100 ma
rectifiers, 600 volts 1 amp

some LEDs
wire
prototype boards
soldering iron
good digital VOM
power supplies, adjustable, 0-6 volts, and 0 to ±20 volts

.

Where can I buy parts like accelerometers, LEDS, transistors, capacitors, resistors, buttons, etc. I used to scavenge out of old toys but I’ve run out. Help. BTW, i live in toronto.

If you like to scavenge, check out Goodwill or other thrift stores for cheap electronics of any kind. Otherwise, the sites below are good sources of electronic parts. I’ve use all of them with good results.

Watch engineers Guru and Luke as they battle it out over how they order their electronic parts from Allied Electronics. Then vote for your favorite at: http://www.thinkallied.com/youtube

radio shack does not have the part that i need. i am looking for a 10uF 250V power capacitor used in exhaust fan.

If you are a contractor, Graingers probably can help you. If you are not a contractor, try the yellow pages under "electrical parts and supplies".

I live in the UK and am starting out in electronics, and am looking for an online retailer that will sell me compenents to mess around with LEDs resisters etc. What ones are out there?

No America based ones preferably – its takes forever to ship accross the pond thanks.

When I was an undergrad the electrical workshop would order components we needed from radionics.

Now I don’t now exactly where the company is, but considering that I went to an Irish university, I think it would be reasonable to assume they are either an Irish or UK company.

Take apart electronics and reuse the parts for your alt energy project.

If you would like to have something recycled or help us in a recycling project please visit our web page http://hcrcfr.giving.officelive.com
