I'm looking to wire up an electric fan in my Mustang using a wiring diagram from online ( http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...an/index.shtml ). The one thing I still need to get is a diode, part number 1N5408, which I wasn't able to find at good ol' Radio Shack. Does anyone know of an electronics shop that would sell loose components (diodes, resistors, transistors, etc etc). Basically I'm looking for a "real" commercial version of a Radio Shack that will have a wider selection of stuff.

Thanks,

Oh, I'll also need some good 8awg wiring, but I imagine a good electronics shop will have that, too.

In college my electrical engineering friends all bought from www.digi-key.com so I would think they don't have minimum purchase quantities...

 

IC Supply off of the Nimitz overpass has EVERYTHING.

^^^ was about to say that. could also go to precision radio if you're close to town, but IC has a bigger selection.

 

ditto...the guys there are also VERY knowledgeable about all the stuff they sell...

 

try www.mouser.com I usually can find everything I need from there...

Another vote here for IC Supply. They're always helpful and I've never gone in there to hear "Sorry, we're out of stock"

 

bump for IC supply and precision radio

 

Thanks, guys, stopped by IC Supply after work today and they had what I needed.
