Part sourcing

Below are some links and hints where to find the parts needed for my PCB builds. I try to standardize on dimensions and types for many common parts, so if you are building several of my modules the shopping should get easier.

The list below is not complete, and seller links will likely expire, so use with care. In case of doubt, check the BOM and build notes for instructions. Remember to also read the footnotes of the BOMs.

If you have any suggestions for this page or find broken links, please let me know!

Common parts (THT)

Resistors

• All my THT PCBs fit "small size" DIN 0204 resistors, with a body length of around 3.7 mm. These are usually either 1/8W or 0.4W, depending on supplier and series (standard 1/4W resistors always fit mounted vertically, and on some boards also mounted normally).
• Unless otherwise specified, use 1% metal film resistors
• Where possible I use E6 values (1, 1.5, 2.2, 3.3, 4.7, 6.8, 10, ...).
• Supplier links:
• TME: 0.4W metal film resistors
  
• Tayda: 1/8W metal fiml resistors - affordable for small quantities
• Mouser: Vishay MBA0204 series, or search by body length = 3.7mm
• Trim pots:
• TME: SR Passives T910X or Bourns 3296X
• Mouser: Bourns 3296X
• Note: use the X version with side screw so it fits between PCB and front panel.

Capacitors

• I try to stick to E3 series values: 1, 2.2, 4.7, 10, 22, 47 ...
• Always use a voltage rating of 35V or higher
• I normally use the following values and dimensions:

Values	Type	Dimensions	TME link	Mouser link
10 pF - 1 nF	C0G ceramic	2.5 mm pin pitch	THT MLCC, C0G, 2.54mm
2.2 nF - 470 nF	Polyester Film	5 mm pin pitch  2.5 mm thickness	Kemet R82 series 7.2x2.5x6.5mm
100 nF decoupling	X7R ceramic	2.5 mm pin pitch	Kemet C320C104K5R5TA7303 Kemet C320C104K1R5TA
