Can anybody recommend some online electronic component distributors?

I am trying to source laptop DC jacks of various kinds, I've been lucky with
some (eBay) and have repaired others but ultimately I need a proper
inventory. RS, Farnell, Rapid & Maplin don't have the stuff so I'm looking
stateside (I'm actually in the UK)

I've found Mouser, who seem to be the sort of company I'm looking for, but
do people know of others? Whilst looking for flash rom chips, I came across
a company called america-something, who seemed to have massive stock, but
I've lost the name & url...

any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

The obvious one missing from this list, is DigiKey. American supplier, but
they now have a UK website, and fowarding operation. For some parts they
are unbeatable.
Unfortunately, many 'laptop power jacks', are proprietary, and are only
available as a spare, from the laptop manufacturer themselves...

Best Wishes

Thank you Chuck, Roger and James! Very much appreciated.

These are the sorts of jack I need:
http://www.aacomputerelec.com/other%...p%20brands.htm

It seems they are obviously available somewhere, but I just can't find
where! Those with the metal cover don't seem to be stocked by any of the
aforementioned suppliers, including digikey. Does anyone have any other
thoughts? How about Taiwanese suppliers?

thanks,
Carl

But,unless you want 10,000 you probably won't find them if the sources
you have already checked don't have them. You would be extremely lucky
to find them in a Silicon Valley surplus store. If you want to keep
looking Google Jameco, All Electronics and Marlin P. Jones.

What about the folks behind the web site you cited? They have a button
to click for ordering info.

I am actually going to ask if they will ship internationally, and perhaps
give a discount on orders of 20+. Their pricing isn't so bad compared to
some of the other companies out there asking $30 - $40 for a $0.99 socket.
