Mouser BOMs with better parts quality?

Here’s Chalumeau: 4f0add43d5 and Pitch Witch: 751a9ea2d3
carts if anyone finds them useful.

Double check them though, they may have some of those WIMA caps that just got discontinued. Also, I tend not to pay attention to “near end of life” notices in general, because I probably won’t be building another one of whatever in a year or two.
Just goes to show one person’s BOM gold is another man’s BOM garbagemine!

And just to keep it in the spirit of the thread:
Fuck all y’all!!!! Buncha no-good ravi shankars… ;)

If this is not an exaggeration (or fabrication) then there is clearly some builder error taking place here.

A few bad components? Maybe.

Enough to even remotely impact overall cost? Something isn't right.

I can assure you it was real. Several different parts from several different shipments from Tayda, since 2020. He had failure rates high enough where the money he spent on returns and repairs erased any savings. Heck, I suspect that it may have exceeded them. Either way, thats a game I don't want to play. Tayda might be fine for building toys, but I need TOOLS. Reliability is paramount for me. YMMV*

I was questioning your friends soldering ability, considering his failure rate.

Top level misunderstanding! And no, that wasn't it either. It was just crappy parts that were INCREDIBLY fragile. Under not so rigorous stress testing a lot of them failed. I don't know the numbers, but any regularity is enough to nix the whole supplier.

Not going to lie mouser does carry quality parts but that’s only part of the equation, knowledge, skill and craftsmanship is a much bigger part of reliability when it comes to building anything, and that is something you only acquire with time, willingness to learn and a little bit of humility. Not trying to be mean here but I’m not really getting that from you after reading through this thread. There are some concepts of the hobby you obviously don’t understand yet… nothing wrong with that we were all there at one point. Maybe put a little more effort into learning the what’s and whys of ordering parts. It takes time
