Arrow stocks all the parts you need to build out your lab. Been thinking about a new set of screwdrivers? Always running out of heat shrink and resistors? Round out your home lab with these great products!
40W LED Lit Soldering Iron
While Weller’s digital irons are fantastic for a well-appointed lab, many work benches do not demand such a high-end tool. A stick iron like the SP40NKUS can almost definitely do the job and has three bright LEDs in the handle to illuminate your work without casting shadows and to serve as a reminder that the iron is on.
Component Organization Starter Kit
Are you constantly fighting with a mess of components in a jumble at the edges of your workspace? Do you relent and buy a crisp new set of well-organized resistors every year, only to struggle to find one in the value you need within a few months? We know all too well that you can only use what you can find, and that organizing electronic components can be an uphill battle. We took the first step for you and created a straightforward organizational system. Whether you only use one part at once or pull out several bags for a project, the bags and pockets are both labeled to make restoring order easier than ever. We got you started with 27 commonly used components, a reference sheet of electrical concepts, and extra bags and labels to keep the system running.
Diagonal Flush Cutters
From cutting wires to trimming leads, a pair of good diagonal cutters are conveniently multi-functional, and you’ll find yourself reaching for them again and again. This diagonal cutter from Phoenix Contact is ready for anything with ergonomic grips and powerful jaws.
Cut and Crimp Multitool
While there are specialized tools for just about every application, it is always handy to have one tool that can do it all. This hand tool from Molex can cut, crimp, and strip wires up to 10 AWG.
Fine Point Tweezers
You are only as dexterous as your best tweezers. Whether you are placing 0402 components, performing surgery on tiny screen connection wires, or just removing the occasional splinter, ultra-fine anti-static, non-magnetic tweezers from Erem will make your life easier.
Bread Board Wires
If you are doing any sort of prototyping work, connecting securely can be frustrating. These male/male jumper cables from BusBoard Prototype Systems sit securely in a solderless breadboard come in a rainbow of different colors to keep your project organized.
Heat Shrink
Sure, you can always wrap wire joints in tape, but heat shrink is ultimately the best way to keep a solder job covered and secure. For the casual user a little bit can go a long way, which is why we now offer heat shrink by the foot. You no longer have to commit to an entire variety pack to replenish the one size and color you use most often.
Small Project Box
An enclosure always makes a project look polished and intentional. While we have boxes in all shapes and sizes, this small enclosure from Hammond Manufacturing is great to have on hand for anything that would look better in a box.
