Free Electrical Components#

In order to assist with projects, we try to stock a number of free basic electrical components for student use. Please use these parts sparingly so everyone has access to this resource! If you need more than a few, consider purchasing your own from a proper electronics supplier. We do not have an in-depth inventory, but generally we stock the following;

  • Resistors and capacitors in standard increments in THT and SMD packages
  • LEDs in multiple colors in THT and SMD packages
  • Other passive electrical components like inductors, ferrite beads, chokes, etc.
  • Transistors (BJT, Darlington, and MOSFET) in THT packages
  • Other active silicon components like diodes, rectifiers, clamps, etc.
  • Basic logic gates (74HC and 74LS series)
  • Electromechanical components like switches, buttons, encoders, potentiometers, etc.
  • Basic ICs like motor drivers, amplifier, regulators, etc.
  • Wires, terminations, and plugs.
