Anchor Electronics, Santa Clara CA

I love this place.it's a great component store. It has a lot of stuff, well organized and often i find bargain components that are difficult to find or very expensive! Excellent service! I like to support this local business, as i am not aware of any other store of the same kind!

Awesome store. They had everything I needed and so much more. Great pricing and a helpful staff. It definitely beats laggy shipping and high shipping costs from online vendors.

Well organized, helpful staff, huge inventory and reasonable prices. If you don't know a part number just bring it with you.

I write this review with mixed feelings, on one hand I love the fact I have a local electronics store such as this with decent prices, but on the other - quality is really bad and they don't accept returns what so ever. I purchased around 50ft of hook up wire and the entire thing is covered with glue. Furthermore the cable was packed in a weird shape so it now has all kinds of "kinks" and "fractures" and doesn't look good.

I finally found a hobby electronics store near me. You can find components like resistors, capacitors, LEDs, transistors, servos etc. Staff were very helpful too.

Wish I'd known about this place earlier! Would have saved me some irritating trips to Fry's. Small place, good inventory, good prices, helpful staff - everything that Fry's wasn't!

Friendly, helpful staff, and almost limitless selection of components, tools, and peripherals someone involved in electronics could need, some components you can get at the desk via an inventory booklet
Also partnered with a selection of arduinos, radio connectors and cables, and other things to help you create a maker space.

If you don't see something on the website check the "Price List" doc linked for an expanded inventory including components or the staff can let you if they have it, fun to browse in person as well.

What a gem. Great place for electronic parts and tools - items that are difficult to find - with good prices.

. Great selection of electronic components at very reasonable prices. 2 cute and knowledgeable gurls run the place.

This Store has everything I need! The customer service is always amazing! These ladies always help me and never make me feel dumb like another supplier I had been visiting up in the Belmont area. I highly recommend this store for all your electronics needs! I especially like that they have a vast inventory of surface mount components and just some of the oddest and strangest components imaginable. Thank you anchor for all you do to make my life easier.

Great customer service. They check stock for you in real time over the phone no matter how small your request is. Hundreds (thousands?) of different electronic parts on display. Sometimes you don't know a part number and a store with physical inventory is the best way to find what you need.

Great store for electronic components. A real tinkerers/hobbyists type of place. The guy who run it is very helpful.

For the connectors I want, their price is better then Amazon, and took me 5 mins to pick up and return back to lab. Great shop

I'm glad I found this place. They have a lot of components and spare parts. Pretty much anything you need for hobby work and probably a lot of professional applications. The 2 ladies working there were also very knowledgeable and knew exactly what I needed!

I work as an Electrical Engineer for a start-up and Anchor Electronics really makes life easy for us. They have an wide selection of conponents and their staff is amazing. There's a gentleman who is a walking encyclopedia of electrical engineering/knowledge. The two lady's behind the desk are very sweet, knowledgeable, and pay attention to detail when one is purchasing or when looking for conponents. This store is a real gem.

Incredibly knowledgeable and very willing to help; I brought in a modular synthesizer component that I had made a mistake in assembling and they helped me troubleshoot and replace failed components. Excellent service and selection, I highly recommend!

Probably the best store still standing that provides electronic components plus supply on the fly and close by ;)
Very friendly staff and helpful too.try it.you'll like it ;)
