Good source of components in Switzerland?

Hi,

Are there any other people from Switzerland in the forum?

If so, where do you buy basic components - resistors, capacitors, etc.?

I've had some trouble finding a supplier who has fair prices and conditions for hobby buyers like us...

Thanks for any feedback

Hi Robert

Here are some links to Swiss stores:

At Distrelec you can order online and you will get the parts by the next day. https://www.distrelec.ch/ishopWebFront/home.do?language=de&shop=CH

Pusterla in Zürich is a nice small and really messy shop, but they have everything the average hobbyist needs. http://www.pusterla.ch/

Grieder is a shop in Basel. http://www.griederbauteile.ch/

There are many more.

Hi broenni

Thanks for the tips. I found Grieder and ordered a few resistors and other "bits and pieces" from them. The first time I ordered less than Fr. 20 worth of stuff and their website added an extra Fr. 10 "mindestmengenzuschlag" automatically to the order (although this is not mentioned on the website) and then I managed to get it deleted and made a slightly bigger order.... ok in the end but took 4 days for my order to arrive.

I'll check out Pusterla - sounds interesting :wink: I know Distrilec so will certainly try them too.

Good tips - thanks again!

Robert
