SMT Component Source

Brian Smith

One more question. Where can I·buy Surface mount components in low volume. I need a 555 IC, some resistors, capacitors, a multiturn resistor, led's (red and infrared)·and a·miniature·switch and I only need a few (maby 5) of each. They dont absolutely have to be surface mount, but I would prefer that they were. I may use regular LEDs if I cant find surface mount ones large enough (about 5mm)·Im trying to learn how to make Surface mount components and want to make my own PCBs so I would like to do as little drilling as possible. And I am guessing it would be best to start out with the larger .120" sized stuff and work my way down to smaller parts.

Thanks
