resistor kits

Sep 28, 2005 5 Replies

Hello, I'm trying to build an electronics work area in my house. Just ordered a weller WES51 for $89.



Ordered a cheap DMM.



Now looking for components. I want a wide array of resistors, but don't feel like ordering them individually. Does any one know where I can get cheap array of resistors in one kit. I found that Ohmite has some, but they seem expensive when compared to ordering a few dozen individually.



Looking for an assortment of caps as well.



Thanks.

void _-void-_ in the obvious place

The Ohmite bins are very space-efficient--tough too.

Worth the differential IMO.

and see the assortments they offer. Good price too

thanks. that is what i was looking for. the other kits were in the $60 range.

The Ohmite assortments are very definitely worth the cost difference, particularly if you're doing circuit development. (Too much time is wasted attempting to do development using the inexpensive, off-shore manufactured resistors. You're lucky if their resistance values come within 25% of their marked values, and many are totally defective.)

The Ohmite assortments represent the best value for your money, and are accurate, quality products that are available in a number of wattage values.

I'd also suggest that you purchase nothing smaller than 1/2-watt, otherwise you sharply restrict the applications that you can apply them to.

Kindest regards, Harry C.
