Top 5 Best Sites To Shop For Electronic Components Online

Finding the best electronic components is sometimes a struggle. There are a myriad of choices out there and looking at each individual supplier site for the right usage is much too time consuming in today’s day and age. Luckily there are several places online that cut your search time in half by aggregating the search for part numbers for you. Here are 5 places you can search through parts and in most cases distributors for the right part at the right price.

1. FindChips.com

Website: http://www.findchips.com
How did it start?: Back in the late 1990’s Randy Sargent was an engineer who got frustrated with how much time he spent looking for parts online. So he polished off his Perl skills and by 1998 he had a first version of the site that scraped information on price and stock from electronics vendor’s sites at the time. Vendors began to notice and soon partnered with him and in 2010 he sold the site to SupplyFrame.
