Default UK Electronic Component Suppliers

If you're having trouble finding Electronic Components, here's a link to a list of some of the major UK suppliers.

If you run into an obstacle because you're not 'Trade' simply tell them you're a 'Sole Trader' you have your own business and operate from home. That should suffice

Supplier's List

If you have any more that are not on that list, add them here... here are a few I have personally had good experience with:
  • http://www.bowood-electronics.co.uk
  • http://www.tech-supplies.co.uk
  • http://www.bardwells.co.uk

All of them are the best prices I could find, and have speedy delivery. Although, some of the more obscure components aren't available.

Two of the big names that will try to tell you that you need a trade account, but if you 'argue' enough (or as above, say you are a sole trader) then you can usually get served.

When I was at uni, RS gave a 10% student discount and happily served me at their counter on the basis that I said I was a student at the nearby uni in the electronics department.

Cheers Iain, I'll have to ask about that student discount! Pitty the Manchester counter is far out of the way for me
