About Jameco Electronics

Jameco has been a leading electronic components distributor for over 40 years. We've helped millions of customers from businesses to educational institutions to hobbyists and along the way we're proud to have built a solid reputation for great prices, great selection, and a great source for hard-to-find electronic components. Jameco's buying expertise allows even the smallest company or individual electronic hobbyist to enjoy the same competitive pricing edge typically reserved for the highest volume buyers.   

Jameco is the only electronic components distributor to give customers a true choice. Jameco offers more than 50,000 of the industry's most popular name brand components but what sets us apart is a large selection of in-stock house and generic brands that are typically priced 15 to 25% less, and an ever changing selection of Special Buys with a savings of 30 to 50% and more. Jameco is the kind of company that you want to work with. We're privately held, debt-free and financially strong. This combined with a large cash reserve means we can negotiate great deals and have the products you want in stock when you need it.

Speed 3 / Price 2 / Quality 3

Our company experience are good to this vendor. We used this vendor for our assembly line making devises. They have proven quality products that are so reliable in our production and are a very trustworthy company. They have a fast shipment and wide selection of products.Their customer service are very knowledgeable and friendly. Only issue for me is a bit high of price for their productss just that. I think they will change the price in time hopefully. Still recommended for others!

Strengths: Wide selection -Fast turnaround -Great customer service -Efficient Shipments

Needs to improve: Pricey

A great electronics store to get your electrical components. I have used them on numerous occasions to get some basic parts that i needed same day. A huge upgrade from Fry's for your same day needs and radio shack doesn't even deserve to be in any conversation. You can order through their website/catalog as well and have parts delivered and on par with digikey, allied, newark, etc.

Strengths: large selection/catalog of components, can drop in for will-call or shop at their store in bay area

I've been coming here since college (when I needed to purchase a bread board for one of my classes), and they are still around!

We will come here and get some simple electronic components and wire when we are in a jam and need it right away.

Super friendly sales people.

Strengths: Local company. Reasonable prices. Good selection of components and wires.

Needs to improve: The store doesn't show what they actually have. Look at their catalog.
