WINNER, Three Years Running, Traveling Technoid Award, First Place (tied with Excess Solutions), for Best Electronic Component Supplier!
If you're putting together almost any sort of electronics project that involves solid-state, visit ACE first and then Excess Solutions. Between the two of them, I'd be stunned if you couldn't get everything you need together in those two stops.
ACE's stock is amazing, and it's growing and changing all the time. They specialize in semiconductors and passives (resistors, caps, inductors), both leaded and surface-mount, and they'll sell in single pieces or as much bulk as you want. They also have a generous assortment of IC sockets of all types, including hard-to-find ZIF test sockets.
If you need active or passive components, fans, switches, sockets or power supplies, this is one of two places to hit, and they should be the place you hit first!
