I’ve been wanting to experiment with Wireless Charging for a bit now, for which I need a qi standard Transmitter and a separate single Female USB C input that I can use for soldering.
I’ve been told both amazon and Ebay are overpriced when it comes to stuff like this, so what dedicated Websites would be best to buy this typa stuff in and around Europe/Germany
Thanks!
I guess your best bet is Pollin. Other than that aliexpress or eBay.
Newark I thought has a solid European presence. (Several things I’ve ordered came from an overseas warehouse)
The cheapest ones will be from china, be it eBay or AliExpress. When buying via eBay never forget to look at the delivery date, I’ve waited up to months because I didn’t check the date…
Depending on your location you may check your local area. Some cities have small private electronics shop, they’re usually a bit more expensive but a) you get your stuff on hand and b) they can often provide feedback and knowledge and give some tips.
And with some luck you may find some broken thing on Kleinanzeigen, which you can salvage for parts.
Overcharge depends on how you value time and accuracy. I like https://de.rs-online.com/web/ and https://www.digikey.de/en as i prefer brand over price. Too many months wasted waiting for stuff like this from aliexpress only to get a counterfeit/ buggy thing.
I would at least check mouser.com
Point it at Europe site and see how you go. I have had good luck with shipping from them to both Europe and Australia with decent time.
Had to batch up my orders to make best use of shipping cost.
