Where can I buy basic electronic components?

Post by Terry Fishsauce »

I would like to buy some 80 ohm resistors for example. I have been to electrical shops and they look at me as if I am out of my mind.

Cambodia Electronic Source (CES) is the best place I have found by far. It is an offshoot of the Electrical Engineering school at Norton University over at Chroy Chrangva. They sell through an online store with same day delivery in PP.
It is run by tutor of the electronics workshop, who is very helpful to non-elec engineers (like me).

@SteveBroadbent's suggestion sounds like worth a try.
Other than that, a while ago I was looking for speaker magnets at Orussey market, and I believe I came across people selling capacitors and resistors as well. Sorry, I don't remember the exact location in the market.
Google Orussey capacitors (or resistors).

Ground floor, south west area. Dont expect a big range. You may not find what you are looking for. You can buy things like lights, electrical wire, switches, lithium batteries. You may need to look through a lot of stalls. It seems some of these stalls are like wholesalers. People from shops buy from them. You may be able to buy large quantities cheap.

You can also order on Ebay or similar companies, and get them sent in.

Drive into Uni, stay on the left side. You'll see a building (restaurants at bottom). Go to first floor, room 104 is your place to be.

Google Orussey capacitors (or resistors).
By the way, did you source your magnets? I need a few little magnets for my project. I'll dissect some fridge magnets if necessary but it would be better to buy them.

Orussey market had large magnets (the ones you would find in speaker drivers). Too large for my purpose.
A while ago I bought some small ones at IBC and I believe also at PBC on Monivong.
As for small, very strong neodymium magnets, I have seen those too but I don't remember exactly where. Sometimes my memory just ... Perhaps check the Japanese stores at Aeon mall as well when you are near-by.

A lot of old computers get trashed. If you find one being trashed, get the hard drive and pull it apart. They have strong magnets in them.

Was at Aeon 2 and found a decent selection of magnets at Daiso on the first floor. They have fridge and whiteboard magnets, ferrite magnets, and neodymium magnets.

Not all sizes and strengths available, but good for various projects. Price for a set is $1.9.
