Smt components for sale
I am about to purchase a TON of SMT resistors, capacitors, and regulators for my busi/hobby related to BS/SX components. I·Have to buy them in bulk,·so, I will have way more on hand than I will need for the next two years.............If you want some ............ at a very cheap price, I will·send them to you at my cost, plus shipping. ![hop.gif](http://forums.parallax.com/images/smilies/hop.gif)

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift.
That is why they call it the present.

Holds 128 different values. Kinda expensive, but each hole has it's own snap on lid.

1208 is a wise choice of size for one off productions. Anything smaller is microscopic.
What about your capacitors? 47uf, 22uf, 10uf eletrolitics in 16 volts or better? 1uf, 1.uf, and 0.1uf in ceramic for MAX232 and by-pass caps. Once again, I've acquired too many other sizes that are not really needed.
May I suggest counting with something like a pallet knife or a butter knife on a tray? Pharmacist count pills that way and it really speeds counting small items that are likely to stick to you fingers. Of course it may be easier to weigh out a bulk quantity.
I can easily buy the SMD resistors and caps over the counter locally. But above all, I would love to know about the regulators, specifically 5 volt and 3.3 volt as these are common consumers of board real estate. Are they 100ma versions or have you 1 amp output? Are they 7805 and 7803.3 or 2940-5 and 2940-3.3. The 2940 series is low drop out and while it uses a bigger capacitor on the supply side, it is well worth being able to use 4 AA cells rather than 5 to get regulated power at 5 volts.
Since I have been on Pantoloc [noparse][[/noparse]ulcer meds] for 2 months, I have a handy set of small pill bottles.
I wish 'head' shops didn't cater to crack as it is seriously addictive, even after one or two tries it will ruin an A student's life forever. In the 60s and 70s, many such 'head' shops wouldn't touch anything to do with the stuff. I'd rather send you a bundle of bags from Taiwan than have you support them. Just PM your mailing address and I'll send you 100 'made in Taiwan' tiny baggies ASAP.

Thanks for the offer and for your concern, I was being a bit sarcastic when I called them "crack baggies", as I am from a law enforcement and also military counterdrug task force background. I have not completed my order for all of the components, and will not until Monday P.M.- Tuesday a.m. (USA CST -5 GMT). I will get an assortment of regulators , fixed, and variable, for the same reason , they are space hogs.
If anyone has a special request on SM parts, PM me by tonight and I will see what I can do.

I listed the values of resistors and capacitors that I use about 95% of the time for I.C. work. Other stuff may sit in a box for years. Mostly the resistor values are just for pullup or pulldown or limiting current to LEDs. Mostly the capacitor values are used to clean up the regulated power, either as assisting a particular voltage regulator or at bypass capacitors. It doesn't make much sense to go about 10 or 16VDC, as the regulators would be dumping too much heat. Eighth watt resistors are quite enough.
Other than maybe LEDs, a 220 ohm and a 330 ohm resistor for some situations, and a 2n2222 transistor or 2n7000 MOSfet package, I wouldn't buy anything in units of 1000s for fear that I would be looking at them forever. Diodes for spike protection might be another useful item.
As you can see, there isn't more than a dozen or so items. Most of the people involved in this as a hobby want 5 or 10 of something. I'd just put ten each all together in 100 to 1000 kits of ten each and see how the response is. It would make pricing and handling so much easier as you would be selling one kit plus postage.
You might consider resonators at a variety of useful frequencies -4, 5, 8 10, 20, 50 megahertz. And that odd little 32.something Kilohertz clock crystal. It can actually make an SX28 into a low power time piece.
Having silicon SMDs for communicatons may be another 10 each kit, including MAX232s, and an ultralow power RS422/485 transceiver, and maybe even IrDA chips like the MAX3130 or MAX3130. Related components would round out the kit.

Forget the baggies, send some takeout!
One exception... They do·restock the very small subset of Parallax products they sell.

Parallax seems to be quite tolerant of other businesses being mentioned here as 'one hand washes the other'. They really want to just provide their core business of microprocessors, supporting hardware, and learning materials. Usually trying to exclude businesses that are doing other things just creates ill will that takes away from the fun of it all. As long as the focus is on the mutual benefits of your business combined with Parallax products, I don't think anyone will fuss about discussion. And Parallax really doesn't want to try to cover all aspects of hobby electronics.
Advertising is a whole different issue. Get a website going and just start by relying on the referals. It isn't expensive. I have a Yahoo website for $12.95/month that included a free name in the package deal. If you are looking for examples, Bean has a website referred to in his email signature. I think P.J. Allen does too.
While resonators, resistors and capacitors have huge savings in quantities of 10,000; chips are not really like that. At Natonal Semiconductor, you can get 100 or 10,000 for the same price. So, it is better to order a lot of different popular chips in smaller quantity to build a minimum order than to order one big quantity.
Inventory is always about quicker turn over. One has to be very selective. And unless you have an immediate use for something, it is best to just have enough to allow you to fill orders and make a decent profit.
The resonators, resistors, and capacitor kits may bring in customers for higher priced items though. I'm sure the stores in Taiwan use them to bring customers to their doors as they are must have items with little profit.
And, good luck.
