The Hackspace carries a range of electronic (and other) components in stock. As a rule, members can use anything for free, as long as the cost is less than £1. However, if you're using more than £5-£10 worth of components a month, we'd appreciate a donation to cover those costs.

If you're a member of the space we'll happily order components for you and take advantage of bulk discounts/free shipping. If the component you request is cheap, we may order more than you need and bring it into stock in the space (if that's the case, then it's free as above).
Add items to one of the lists below if you'd like them to be stocked at the Hackspace or if you see that something's running out and needs reordering.

==Purchasing==
'''Please include a link to the item, preferably from [http://uk.farnell.com/ Farnell] or [http://cpc.farnell.com/ CPC] (larger items are sometimes cheaper on CPC), or it won't be ordered.'''
Please add a link for the item (with the quantity required) to the top of the relevant list below. Preferably use one of the following suppliers, whichever's cheapest. If you can't find what you need on these sites look for an alternative supplier, ideally one offering '''free delivery'''.


Please do not edit the wiki as a way to comment on other people's requests. If a component needs ordering, move it to the top of the relevant list, and date the request.
* [http://uk.farnell.com/ Farnell] - Main UK Site
* [http://cpc.farnell.com/ CPC] - Farnell white label - larger items are sometimes cheaper here than on the main Farnell site
* [http://www.rapidonline.com/ Rapid Online] - As yet untried, but looks cheaper than Farnell

===Standard Requests===
===Standard Requests===
Items with a Farnell item will be ordered with the next batch, items not in Farnell will only be ordered from time to time.
Items on this list will usually be ordered approximately monthly from Farnell/CPC/Rapid Online or as soon as there's enough on the list for the order to be eligible for free delivery. Items from other sites where there's a delivery cost may get ordered more sporadically.
