Finding Electronic Components

Buying components can be difficult. Where can DIY hobbyists buy parts at a reasonable price? Digikey, Mouser, Jameco? There are a lot of options. Discuss what a component is and how you can find the best component at the best price for you.

So for example,
Amazon would be considered as a distributor
[COMPANY NAME] would ship/supply amazon with their product and be considered as a manufacturer
It's cheaper to buy 1 thing from Amazon
or
Buy in bulk at the manufacturer store?
This would only apply to small cost items like component parts

can you tell me how i can find the right speced components ?
i want to make a Buck/Boost convertor that outputs 19 volt 4.74 amps (90 watts more is okay too).
I just don't know witch parts to use.

You wouldn't by any chance know where I can find a flexible copper clad fiberglass PCB material? I know it exists because I've seen it, but can't find it anywhere.

Hi John Mc, thanks for watching, and, thanks for reaching out!
I didn't find any on digikey, but I did find a couple odd listings (Amazon, eBay, Alibaba) hopefully this listing has enough keywords to point you in the right direction!
Cheers!

@@EEforEveryone Thanks for the info. By the way, you're a great speaker. It doesn't look like you're going to get rich on TH-cam, but you should try to figure out how to incorporate that skill into your interest in electronics somehow. Good luck.

Great Video! Great to see my company Featured

wow ! your eyes so beauful

Most of people who knows electronics know what they are made of.... Title says Finding Electronic Components. Please go to the issue sooner . Also you look awkward (stare too long at camera without eye blinking). Just trying to be frank and help you somehow :no comments in this video for people leave before finishing it .... So relate title to video and explain topic faster (I'm an electronics engineer) we know what you say already I needed to find pages as Jameco, this video should begin in min 6:25. Want to boast yourself do a speech on a University. The simple things are always the best

[@EEforEveryone]

HI Louis, thanks for watching, and thank you for the constructive feedback!
This video is definitely targeted for people new to electronics, I understand why you say this video has a lot of commonly available information... If you already know where to find it. :)
Good thoughts on the title being a bit misleading, and getting to the point faster!
Those are definitely things I'm always working on, and i'll keep your thoughts in mind.
I hope you'll be patient with us as we continue to grow: I know our videos are FAR from perfect. I'm glad that you are a part of this community!

[@Queteimp]

So seem pretty skillful

I think you’re doing great. I’m a 50-year-old EE and I enjoy seeing young people such as yourself taking the initiative to do projects and educate others. I’ve learned a thing or two from your videos, too. No one knows everything, after all.
