I’ve been using digikey for quite a while, mainly because of three factors:
- They have “everything”, meaning whenever I have a project, they probably have the transistor, connector, and Adafruit board I need.
- Fast and cheap shipping, and free over a certain order size.
- VOEC compliant
…but I’m trying to move away from US companies where possible due to *gestures broadly*, so are there any good European alternatives?


RS Components in the UK?
Swedish company Elfa (now part of the RS group) if you want shipping from within the union.

Not sure if they have everything.
