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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

These 15uH chokes are encased in clear heat-shrink tubing with pre-soldered jumper leads. Rated for up to 4A and measure approx 4-1/2" long. Made in Germany.

This black aluminum heat sink measures 4" x 2" x 1-1/14" with a 2" x 2-1/4" base. (6) 5/16" thick fins at the top and a set of (5) more at the bottom above the base. In between the fins is a 1-1/4" x 2" space for your chip with a 1-1/8" square thermal pad and a 3/16" bore.

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.

A 4.1 MFD 300 VAC capacitor. Only 1-5/8" long x 3/4" dia., the MGT-67A P.C. mount capacitor has a resistor mounted on its side.

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.

Ten dozen, to be exact. Our package of 120 radial lead electrolytic capacitors comprises: (15) each of 1uF, 2.2uF, 4.7uF, 10uF, and 22uF at 50V, (15) each of 47uF and 100uF at 25V, and (5) each at 220uF, 470uF and 1000uF at 25V. From Velleman®.

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.

Remake, recycle and reuse this repurposable Personal Response System remote. Made for answering test questions in college classrooms, this PRS TX-02 remote is now discontinued but full of lovely parts and waiting for a new electronic home. Inside you'll find a 940nm IR LED, a 12-digit touchpad, 2-C9015 PNP transistors, a red/orange/green LED, a 3.5795454 MHx crystal and a couple of ICs. As is, no guarantees. And let's keep it legal, OK?
