Anchor Electronics — Local services in Santa Clara

I was on a short visit to Cupertino and managed to visit Anchor Electronics at the last minute :-) I stepped in around 3:40PM (20 minutes before the shop close time) but the friendly and extremely helpful staff managed to find the big list of components I was looking.

Amazing collection of components and not just a shop, more like a museum :-) they have small grab-bag like offers too (good deals indeed) Prices are very reasonable and the component quality is exceptional.

Make sure to study the inventory first (you can find it in the website) then come up with a list of components you want! that will help everyone! Also make sure to go there early so you can take time and explore the collections!

So glad to see Alicia! and please convey my best regards to the gentleman who helped me with finding all of my transistors and ICs

Anchor Electronics employees and management, Thank you for what you do keeping the spirit of electronic tinkering alive in Silicon Valley. I have purchased electronic components from Anchor Electronics for years. They have a large selection of components and a well-organized showroom. The entire inventory and price is well documented and also available online. The employees are class-act professionals and always ready to help the moment you step into the store. Anchor Electronics is one of the few electronic component supply stores left in Silicon Valley. That, combined with their large inventory and reasonable prices is what makes me want to shop there again and again even though there are many online options available for purchasing...

This is a great store. We went there looking for a clamp-type ammeter, but unfortunately they didn't have one. However, when we asked the person who seemed to be the owner, he was very kind and asked around with many people, and told us about the GRAINGER store, and we finally got what we were looking for. We were very happy that they treated us, Japanese business travelers, so kindly, even though we asked in broken English. Next time we have a problem with electronic parts, we will definitely come here. Thank...
