Electronic Components in Pretoria (East)?

[nevadayz]

Forumites,

Any recommended electronic component shops in the Pretoria East area, or close-ish?
Similiar to an A1 or Mantech in Durban.

Looking at all normal components, caps, resistors, micros, motors, leds cables etc.

Thanks.

Cheers.

Your best bet is Communica in Midrand.

Not much to choose from in Pretoria East, there is a shop that sells the basics http://www.electronicsfg.co.za/ I only use them if I need something in a hurry. Communica midrand or the one in Schoeman str is the other option for walking in. Mostly I plan the projects and then do online orders, works out cheaper and no hassles with out of stock or components that is not carried.

RS components is also an option. Order online and they deliver

You can also order from digikey or mouser

by the by, are there any electronic design/project threads here?
Ive seen the Raspberry Pi one, but anything a bit more open ended?

Not much around here. There are a couple of arduino sort-of threads, but if you want the real deal I suggest the EEVBlog
