People say they just can’t help buying these 1,700 surface-mount device resistors. That’s (20) pieces each at (85) different values between 1 ohm and 10M ohms, with a 5% tolerance. Don’t even try to resist these.

Little is the operative word here. These surface-mount LEDs are perfect for hobby trains, dollhouses, even flashlights, anywhere you need tiny but bright lights. Color is white with a luminous intensity of 1000-1300 mcd (millicandelas), 2.8-3.4 volts, and a color temperature of 6500K. View angle is 140 degrees.

The manufacturer, Elenco Electronics, says Bredblox, but what's in a name? This is just a nice little breadboard for electronic experiments. The Elenco Model 9830 measures 6-1/2" long x 2-1/8" wide x 5/16" thick with (2) power busses up both long edges and (63) double rows of more busses. The holes for components and jumper wires are approx .050" each and multiple boards can be interlocked via tabs and ports on the long edges. Now go invent something and get rich.

When you could just order this 480-pack of 1/4 watt, 5%-tolerance resistors. You'll get (30) pieces each of 10, 22, 47, 100, 220, 470, 1K, 2.2K, 4.7K, 10K, 22K, 47K, 100K, 220K, 470K, and 1M OHM.

You get a 10ml syringe of white silicone heat sink compound for use as a thermal coupling for electronics. High conductivity, low bleed and stable at high temperatures. Perfect for you electronic tinkerers out there with a sinking feeling.

Good things come in little packages. In this case the package is a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1/2" modulator, and the good things are a circuit board with at least a trimpot, electrolytic capacitor, assorted coils, 3-pin connector, RCA plug and (2) pop-off covers. Have a blast.

Like a third hand in the electronics lab, this circuit-board rack from Elenco® has a pair of stable 6-1/2" legs and 3" tall arms with clips, one spring-loaded, to hold the board. It's a must for any electronics DIY-er. Adjusts from 0 to 9-3/8" apart and lets you rotate the board it holds a full 360 degrees. Both clips and legs lock with thumbscrews.

This little aluminum heat sink measures 1" square x 5/8" with (4) 5/8" tall fins and a threaded 3/32" bore.

Velleman brings you this clear enclosure for Rasberry PI Modules. Velleman model number RAS-CASE001 . This unit measures 3-5/8” x 2-1/2” x 1” and includes screws and feet. Has holes for the connectors and ports on some of your favorite Pi models. Fits Pi B+, Pi 2 Model B, but you can use it for all your small electronics projects, we won't tell.

These liquid crystal displays are raring to go. As soon as we can get Mary Ann to stop playing with them we'll pick out (5) assorted displays for you. (She keeps zapping them with static electricity to see what pops up. Mary Ann is easily amused.) Sizes range from 1-3/16" x 2" to a few as large as 5" x 10". They're unused. Some have pin leads, some have traces right on the wafer. Either way, they're a terrific bargain.

This solderable perf board for the electronicshobbyist measure 1-1/2” x 1-3/4” x 1/16” or 3-1/4" x 2-1/2" x1/16" with 1mm dia copper pads on one side with holes sized for componentleads. Has 1/8" dia mounting holes on the corners.

You pick the 500-Ohm 1/2W, 1K-Ohm 1/2W or the 10K-Ohm panel-mount potentiometer, all from Alpha Products® with dust covers over a 17mm base, panel tabs, 6mm dia x 10mm long shafts, and 3mm solder lugs with washers and nuts. Shafts are knurled and slotted, and single-turn. Turn them with press-fit black plastic knobs, 6mm ID x 16mm dia x 18mm tall with pointers in assorted colors of red, orange, yellow, blue, green and white.

We’re unsure what this take-out was taken out of, but it’s a 2-1/4” x 1-3/4” PC board with comparator IC (integrated circuit), plus (1) yellow and (4) red LEDs, assorted resistors and a trim pot. Also, red and black leads with inline ring terminals, and a momentary push-button switch.

This little (12mm dia x 8mm thick) transducer makes that ultra-annoying buzzing modem sound, because it's made for a modem. Apply a square wave signal in the 2200Hz range at approx 6V and it will buzzerate for you. Well, who wouldn't? Sound pressure level is about 85dB, 80 Ohm impedance. Housing is marked for polarity. Printed on the top is RDI-DMT-1206. Application notes are at www.microchip.com, reference AN655.

This 3.2" square LCD display from a new Epson® print replacement part has an SCI7500F0A MLS driver chip, and measures 3-1/2" x 2-5/8" with a 15-pin ribbon connector. Made in Japan because that’s where Epson’s from. “Epson” means “Son of Electronic Printer,” by the way. You think we’re kidding.
