Our Samrand warehouse and Cape Town/Pretoria branches carry thousands of brands and common form-factors so you can source parts for student projects, repairs, or production runs with minimal lead time. Benefit-driven services include real-time stock checks, branch collection, VAT invoices for procurement, and technical notes to ensure the connector fits your board or device.
Local availability and speed

Compatibility guidance that reduces rework
Connectors are more than mechanical fits - pinouts, mating height, current rating and cable gauge matter. Our product pages include datasheets and we add practical notes on mating pairs and common pitfalls. When you need help, our tech team will recommend alternatives if a stocked brand or footprint is unavailable.

- Pin count and orientation (right-angle vs straight)
- Current and voltage ratings for power connectors
