    And no more radio shack to buy more of these!

    I really don’t know where to go any longer for some things like this. I know, interwebs has it but I usually have questions that scamazon won’t answer.

      Mouser or Digikey are your friends here.

      You pay a little more than the cheap stuff on Amazon but you can be sure you’re getting the exact specs you ordered.

        Mouser really is to me a neat lil store. You get in, ask the guy in the counter for the exact stuff you want, they type one or two things in a computer, check if that’s actually what you want and in less than 5 minutes they fetch it

              Technically, yes, websites have physical locations in that they are hosted such that, no matter how many levels of containerization and virtualization there are, they eventually run and exist in some way on physical hardware.

        If it’s important… Double check the output with a meter just to be sure. Only got burned by it once, but for expensive/complex circuits, just give the critical components a sanity check.
