Cheap Component Search

I have 30$ cashcback reflink for order 30.01$ or more for Aliexpress - write me PM if you interested. Sounds like couple of the modules for free : )

Anyway, for myself I found power cable components cheap locally, if you do not have such luck in your country have some plugins and cable:




0.09$ jack sockets, love them

Also NE555 - with and without sockets:


Huh, I went to aliexpress and they opted me into the russian site for some reason, and when I clicked “english” one of the top offers was “polish girls” :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

(russian text was Лак Для Девочек which I think means “nail polish”)

That makes me want to queue up Dirty Computer after I finish listening to Autobahn.

Narrator: in the event he listened to the English version of Trans Europe Express for a bit, even though he professes to hate electronic percussion.

Anyone know if the TruConnect jacks will be back in stock anytime soon?

Also, I’ve been looking around at alternatives and came accross these:

Would these be compatible with the 1222 VCO PCB?

Here’s the footprint from the datasheet:

and here’s the CTorp post from a day or so ago with dimensions for a footprint he says is compatible:

They look to me like they agree, so I’d say they’d probably work.

I found these and they’re almost certainly are the ones I’d use.

They’ll get me choosing make-before-break if I had to choose between make-before-break or round shaft.

Hello I just discovered Banzai Music(https://www.banzaimusic.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwq832BRA5EiwACvCWsShzU0YuyCRTfKbE_eroI0bsrBl-d68lUdduEoWmyCA_SorBj_xC6RoCAJIQAvD_BwE) and I find that they really have a lot of products for cheap in general.
I do not know if they deliver to the United States but they are based in Germany so for me who am French it is great level of delivery times!

There must be someone here Who is at work at the electronics components selling/ordering firm!?
Or his friend.
So instead of everyone looking for cheap components single self, there could be schema and list of what you need on the thing, and order button where you could buy that whole set, and click more stuff too what they bring your home.

I have a favorite shop in Germany, I think it also delivers all over the world. It’s https://www.uk-electronic.de/onlineshop/index.php

A little anecdote about this, lately I ONLY wanted to order strip PCBs, but as it always is, I ordered 1000 other things, but no PCBs … I noticed that about 2 hours later and had to order another one do. so again delivery costs … Getsren arrived a larger package with all the components AND the PCBs in it. In the bag with the PCBs was a smaller bag with 2 two euro coins. That’s what I call customer service! They are also very quick. I ordered the parts on Saturday afternoon and they were on Monday
already there!

So I’m finding it a faff to do all the wiring for the ground on panels with lots of jacks. I’ve noticed Sam using bare wire and just threading it through all the components in his videos - if I wanted some of that, what is it I’m looking for? I’ve googled around a bit but all the results are copper wire for jewellery making, and if that’s what I’m thinking of it might be too thick/inflexible.

I use 0.6mm jewellery wire in really tiny constructions that require much more flexibility than a traditional circuit board. It works just fine and it cost me £2.60 for 10 metres. And it’s pretty!

Ah nice! This came up on my search but thought I should double check - my ability to buy the wrong parts almost every time is staggering

Thanks Bitnik!

I just grab my solid hookup wire and strip the insulation off before cutting to length.
