Electrical Parts etc etc

[coveman]

Recently been trying to find a supplier of Bulgin plugs etc and came across this supplier - have bought twice from them now and their service has been excellent with prices well below chandlers - maybe useful for others if looking for similar bits! I've got no connection to them. https://cpc.farnell.com/

They're only the biggest and best-known electrical parts supplier in the country...

(Sorry, not meaning to be rude per se, just the way your post built up to almost a punchline tickled me)

No offence taken - being an electrical dinosaur I hadn't realised they were so well known!!!

Their catalogue is very impressive, bigger than an old fashioned BT Phone Book for London.

Looked at Bulgin prices and decided to buy a couple of these, time will tell how they perform. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SP13-SP1...var=460575524728&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Vague memories! Wasn't that in three volumes, splitting the alphabet?

That would be RS surely?
Last time they printed a physical catalogue, it took up over a foot of shelf.
Farnell was always a bit cheaper for some things.
CPC was the computer bits branch of Farnell.
CPC-Farnell is a sort of Maplins for grown-ups.
The trade deals with Farnell, not CPC.

Don't rule out Digikey and Mouser.
