You definately need to get catalogs! I wouldn't even think about ordering from mouser or digikey without one. The only two things I use the website for is to search and see if they have a part number, and to order; never to browse, they're not set up for that.

Just go the mouser, digikey, jameco, etc, and order a catalog. They're free :lol:

All you need to know about SMD components is how to solder them. Just look up something like 'SMD tutorial' on google.

OK...I got everything I need, thanks for all the help, really appreciate it. Ordered 60 dollars :shock: work of ICs, transistors, and everything else.

(Don't you just love it when you go to buy a few things and end up buying everything you think you MIGHT need...or is it just me.

thanks for everything.

Catalogues? Geez, those went out with the LM741's. Just download the PDF's. I have to call to get off the catalogue lists. Everytime I get one it goes into the recycling.

I just ordered $110.00 from Mouser and I forgot to put on voltage regulators, which sucks. Ordering from Canada, Mouser shipping is expensive. They used to have a USPS ground shipping option for cheap, but that option is gone.

Altho Digikey has an excellent part search by parameter, I use the catalog for browsing. I order online and download data sheets to my hard drive. I order mostly from Mouser and Allied because they don't have a minimum order. Mouser will find an equivalent part but otherwise doesn't allow searching by parameter.
