That sinking feeling....

Andrew J
Andrew J over 5 years ago

...when you find out that despite checking and re-checking your order, what turns up are 100 0.1uF 0402 6.3V capacitors and not 100 0.1uF 0805 50V capacitors. image  How does that happen???  It's not so much the cost, as a couple of quid is neither here nor there really, but re-ordering such a small thing will incur handling and delivery charges out of proportion to the item itself.

 

Anyone need any 0402 capacitors? image

    Check twice and read your order very carefully. We have all ended up ordering something we did not want or need. DAB
