STORES

At the moment, with almost 30 members, the STORES is the largest committee within Scintilla. The STORES is a small shop entirely run by students. Our goal is to offer cheap electronics and study needs. The STORES is located in the Edu-cafe in the Zilverling and is open every weekday 12:30h - 13:30h.

Electronic components

We offer a wide selection of components ranging from resistors and capacitors to cables and smd.

The cart

We also sell second hand electronics. During opening hours you will find a cart outside the STORES, with lots of electronics on it. If you would like to buy something, take it to the counter and start haggling!

Note: items from the cart are sold without any warranty!

Have you got any old electronic device you think someone could use? Bring it to the STORES. Our employees will check if it is of any use and, if so, put it on the cart.

Orders

It is possible to place orders at the STORES. We can order at Nedis, Farnell, RS-Components, TME and Mouser. You can complete an orderform at our counter or at home (download the orderform here). You will have to print it and sign it and then bring it to the STORES. Incomplete or unsigned forms will not be processed!

The delivery time depends on our suppliers and the available amount of time of our purchasers. This means that we can not guarantee short delivery times!
