These chrome-plated metal buttons are rugged and look real good while doing it! Simply drill a 16mm hole into any material up to 1/2" thick and you can fit these in place, there's even a rubber gasket to keep water out of the enclosure. On the front of...

Make your own USB connections without slicing apart a USB cable and soldering those thin wires inside. These DIY "USB shells" are available in USB A plug, micro B, mini B and USB A socket. Each shell comes with a two-part snap...

An IC (Integrated Circuit) socket allows you to insert and remove chips easily from an assembled kit or project This item contains 3 of the 28 pin 0.6" wide version. Best used with chips that have 28 pins (2x14) and have 0.6" pin spacing. We also have 0...

Listen up! This tiny 1" diameter speaker cone is the perfect addition to any small audio project where you need an 8 Ω impedance and will be using 0.5W or less of power. We particularly like this cone as it's very simple and its metal body is...

One of the most common converter cables you'll want in your cable collection - this 32" long cable converts a standard 3.5mm stereo jack to pigtail wires. Ground ring is black, middle ring is white and tip is red. Cable is 32"/81cm long from end to end.

Design a clock, timer or counter into your next project using our pretty 4-digit seven-segment display. These bright crisp displays are good for adding numeric output. Besides the four 7-segments, there are decimal points on each digit and an extra wire...

This is a really nice power supply. It's a switching DC supply so its small and light and efficient. It is thin so it fits in power strips without blocking other outlets. The output is regulated so you'll get a steady 9V up to 1000mA (1 Amp) of current...

Make your own USB connections without slicing apart a USB cable and soldering those thin wires inside. These DIY "USB shells" are available in USB A plug, micro B, mini B and USB A socket. Each shell comes with a two-part snap plastic shell and a proper...

Punch in your secret key into this numeric matrix keypad. This keypad has 12 buttons, arranged in a telephone-line 3x4 grid. It's made of a thin, flexible membrane material with an adhesive backing (just remove the paper) so you can attach it to nearly...

Breakaway header is like the duct tape of electronics. Its great for connecting things together, soldering to perf-boards, fits into any breakout or breadboard, etc. We go through these guys real fast, and thought that given how handy they are, we'd...

If you have a project where you'd like to be able to detach the wiring, this wire will fit the bill. Its a JST 2.5mm 'free hanging' cable assembly that latches strongly. One wire is marked with a white dashed line. You can't plug these in backwards...

Diffused 5mm tri-color LEDs with separate red, green and blue LED chips inside! Nice indicator, and fun to color-swirl. 60 degree viewing angle.  These are Common-Anode type which means you connect one pin to 5V or so and then tie the other three...

This power jack is designed to fit 2.1mm power plugs snugly and securely. Perfect for adding a power connector to your project. We went for the more expensive "thin pin" type which snap into breadboards or perfboards. They will work where "thick pin"...

Add a bunch of high-power outputs to a microcontroller system with chainable shift registers. These chips take a serial input (SPI) of 1 byte (8 bits) and then output those digital bits onto 8 pins. You can chain them together so putting three in a row...

Listen up! This 3" diameter speaker cone is the perfect addition to any audio project where you need an 4 ohm impedance and 3W or less of power. We particularly like this cone as it has 4 handy mounting tabs 60mm apart. Works great with class D...

This is a beefy switching supply, for when you need a lot of power! It can supply 5V DC up to 10 Amps, running from 110V or 220V power (the plug it comes with is for US/Canada/Japan but you can use any plug adapter for your country, or just replace the...

A little bundle to get you started! This project pack contains: 2.5 meters (over 8 ft) of high-brightness, long-life EL wire in Pink. 2.5 meters is the maximum amount for the pocket driver - it is cut and soldered so it's ready to go! Pocket EL...
