Does anyone know of a UK source (other than Sony) for the 10uf SMT
capacitors used in Sony camcorders.
They are 3mm in diameter and 5mm high. I have only been able to obtain
some
of 4mm diameter but they are slightly too large to solder without causing
possible adjacent component damage.

I have looked at RS components, CPC, Rapidonline etc.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.


uk.farnell.com

Also, they're not in the UK, but I believe they ship overseas if
that's an option: www.mouser.com
We order many SM components from them, they're one of the few we've
found with lots of stock willing to sell in quantities of 1 (with
extra price, of course).

That link may not work for you, but worth a shot.


Hope it helps,

Thanks for the info Steve. I never thought of Farnell.
I managed to get the right 10uF capacitors and a few other SMT capacitors
that I required.
some are no longer stocked but on checking Mouser in the USA the seem to
have the parts although the order processing charge is high plus postage and
possible VAT and import duty into the UK may not make it a viable option.

Once again thanks for the info.
