anything after that ? is like "Cell Phone Accessory Express?
if you are lucky they might have A switch or A capacitor?. And MAYBE it
MIGHT be the value you actually need? but how many people re-cap their
power supply with ONE cap?
how many people need just one cap?
thinking about this is making me angry?. I am glad radio shack is gone?
rest in hell!
If I'm (to use your example) recapping a power supply, I don't mind making
an order with Mouser. But when I need a 10uF electrolytic (happened
recently) I can drive for five minutes, drop a buck or so, stop for a pint
at the pub next door :-) and go fix stuff. They even had a 7805 I needed
for a project - less than $2, as I recall. Mouser would charge me more in
postage.
