Hi guys,
Anyone know where to get electronic components in Penang Island?
Need to get some resistors, caps and some other ICs.
Thanks
Here are the best electronics shops in Penang island
Hang Sin Electronics (Kimberly street, you can turn in from Maccalum street, it exits to Penang road-its one way)
-look out for their yellow signboard, its hard to miss, moreover they take up two shops.
-have a decent selection of stuff (components & equipment), and usually quite cheap
Gem One electronics (Go to CIMB in Komtar (not Prangin), go up the stairs/escalator nearby and walk around)
-almost everything is overpriced here, but you can find exotic stuff like ready made inductors, ferrite coils, gears and other stuff hard to find elsewhere
Tong Sin (Argyll road, turn in from Penang road, look out on the right)
-a lot of old stuff available here, not sure about price though, place is new to me
Hondai (opposite tapak Pesta)
-lots of high quality stuff here, and you can order stuff from Farnell's catalog if its not in stock
-expect to pay for it though, they seldom stock cheap variants on most stuff. Even multimeters are all Fluke brand.
