Electronic Component Suppliers

[user181]

What suppliers do you guys use to source new components, such as capacitors?

I'm finding that Mouser, Digikey, and Newark have minimum quantities of 1000 (or more) for some of the capacitors I've been looking for, so I'd like to know of other reputable suppliers/distributors that would offer parts in smaller quantities.

Also, what capacitor manufacturers do you like to use, or consider to be of good quality? The reason I ran into minimum quantities, I'm sure, is because I was trying to find exact part numbers called out in the parts list cross reference in my SAMS folder, and they're not normally stocked.

Thank you!
