Another in the series about stocked components:
We have decided if we do stock a few components, we are going to start out with 6 reels of parts. 3 resistor reels, and 3 capacitor reels.
The last poll indicated that 0603’s were the most used size, although some components will not be available in that size (may be too large in value).
We would like our potential customers to tell us what they use the most in the respective components.
for example:
.1uF capacitors are used for decoupling. This could be a popular component for placement.
470 ohm resistors are used quite a bit in logic circuits.
The above does not prevent someone from sending any component to be mounted.
As our service grows in age, we are sure our component selection will as well. We have chosen 6 reels because of our current feeder space allocation.
Anyone who submits a value should give all specifications. 1/10 watt, 5%, etc.
The price charged for these items will be at our cost (reel cost + shipping / number on reel = cost to customer) This will be added to the assembly cost of the job. Some parts can get pretty cheap. Some resistors are less than a penny each.
