Very much this. When I’m buying I always cross ref just in case so I buy the right value. And if I have seen the values be used interchangibly, I white the other value in my baggie. @fluxpavilion, if you want to source parts, we have a thread with a load of cheap commonly needed parts for convenience. > [@Cheap Component Search](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/cheap-component-search/30/6): > > Hey all, I took some time and collected links of common components used in these projects. Tayda lets you group Favorited components so you can just add a bunch of items to the cart at once. Good for stuff you run out of a lot like jacks and pots. 6.35mm jacks 6.35MM 1/4" STEREO PHONE JACK $0.45 £0.35 Molex / Wafer Connector bits (Image lies, check the details to be sure you get the right pins you need. You will also want a crimper.) WAFER CONNECTOR 2.54MM 4 PINS $0.04 £0.031 HOUSI… Also be sure to check out the threads listed with BOM in the title. We usually have existing threads about a lot of the kosmi modules, as well as a few of the stripboard layouts. Feel free to make a thread if you have any issues, take a look first if you see a thread! --- _[View the full topic](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/new-to-diy-kosmo-build/849)._
