General Components, Electronic, Mechanical and Electromechanical

We stock a wide range of electronic, mechanical, and electromechanical components, including a range of general goodies to get your project started! From simple automation to complex mechanics and robotics!

Silicone Bumpers

Silicone bumpers to put on the underside of hotswap PCBs to help prevent them from being pushed down from switches.

Proto-Pic have Silicone Bumpers which is good product. Rubber feet raise your PCB or project up off your desk. Theses help prevent short-circuiting from bits of scrap wire floating about or setting a project down on a conductive surface. They also prevent your enclosure or PCB from sliding around. They can also be used as feet for enclosures.

Piezo Igniter

Theses piezo igniters can be used for all sorts of applications where you need a spark to make fun things happen. With a large red button, easy mounting, and a long detachable ignition cable, this would be a perfect fit for your next spud cannon, rocket launcher, or flamethrower.

Digital Potentiometer

Potentiometers are incredibly useful, whether you’re controlling the volume on your stereo or the ‘mood lighting’ in your room. The problem with traditional potentiometers is the fact that your microcontroller doesn’t have an easy way to interface with them. Digital Potentiometers solve that problem by allowing you to control a voltage splitter with digital signals.
