Standard Parts in the Lab
This page is under construction! It is our intention to include component prices for project budgeting purposes, but until the time that this is in place, please use a vendor such as Digikey to develop your estimate.

The EE 400/401 laboratory has a limited selection of parts available for project use. See Data Sheets for more information about some of these parts.

In a bid to reduce course operating costs, your project will be nudged toward using the following parts unless your design (and you) justify an alternative.

When deriving a cost estimate for your proposal, all components with the exception of standard (1/4W) resistors and common capacitors need to be included.

The ECE Department has a parts room that carries additional parts which may be of interest to you. Talk to Rick MacGregor in ETLC E3-012 to get more information. Please note that any parts taken from the parts room will be counted in your project's costs.

The following is a partial list of components held within the lab. Please ask the course technician about other parts that your project warrant.
