Hi Guys,
What retailer(s) are you using to source low voltage electronic components e.g. Caps, Diodes, low voltage regulators etc.?
I'm interested in hearing any recommendations as my current sources keep upping their prices.

Besides the obvious?:
Usually super-fast delivery however occasionally Jaycar if I need something quick and dirty!
EDIT: Not to mention https://www.surplustronics.co.nz/
EDIT 2: Also https://nicegear.co.nz/ and have picked stuff up from http://www.makershop.co.nz/
(You mean SELV right? Otherwise Ideal are my regular for LV).
Another to try
There's a couple of TradeMe shops that could be useful ?

Well, one anyway :-)
I just aliexpress stuff like that. If I really need something then I will go into jaycar. Dont waste my time with their site as the search is still a total joke. Sometimes element 14 but I usually end up bulking the order out to get to the shipping threshold.
My old employ
http://www.activecomponents.com/
The also consolidate shipping from www.digikey.co.nz and http://www.mouser.com
Not the cheapest but they can get small qty.
Cheers

Thanks for the info guys. I'm looking at some of the alternative stores you've provided.
Yes, I mean Extra Low Voltage electronics - sorry about the omission.
My primary supplier has been Elemt14 in the past, but I've noticed the prices creep up slowly.
