Local Component suppliers

• TRX Electronics can source Mouser at discounted prices and Digikey to a lesser extend. Mouser is owned by TTi so TRX can also source directly from TTi.
  TTi focus less on ICs. Look at TTi subsidiaries including Sager

• Future Electronics  NOT ON CSD. I do not buy from resellers or brokers.   We only buy directly from the manufacturer.   We also do not break tubes and reels.

You can go onto our website to see what we sell.  You can also buy directly off our website.  I can open a CIA account for you, and you will have to pay in USD.

You can always send me the part numbers that you need, and we can check if we have stock in our warehouse in Europe.

You can also buy online from RS USA.
