Just got a discount code from tayda electronics... So if any of you guys order your parts there: "EB99922" will get you 10% discount. I don't use tayda, so I don't need it. First come, first served.. idk if it's working for multiple people or one time use only.
Greets!

here is a list of very reasonably priced PCB fabricators that can do very small to medium batches of your prototype PCB. they are cheap because they combine small orders onto a panel and send to another fabricator. they are like a middle man. in no particular order

Ok I have a question. I know you can buy thing from Mammoth, PPP, Mouser, 4site...etc. Here's my question. Where are they buying from? Obviously they turn a profit and have to buy in huge quantities. I'm just curious. I mean direct from Hammond for Hammond boxes I would assume, but other things?

I know that Mammouth buys from the distributor 4Site Electronics.

Mouser gets their products straight from the manufacturer and has tons of warehouses around the globe. Xircom, Panasonic, TDK etc all direct.
