Anyone familiar with these parts? I need some for insulating a thermistor on a project I'm working on. Any idea who carries them (arcade/pin suppliers if possible) if not ill take any ideas.
thanks

I see it available from several online companies just wanted to avoid shipping on one item. I doubt home depot or lowes carries anything that specialized.
Thanks

I got my roll from eBay, works great and dirt cheap (incl. shipping).

I had an OutRun with a trace repair that spanned the entire video PCB and used it to secure the wire-wrap on the solder side. Good stuff.

thanks. yea it can be pretty useful it seems. I was hoping staples had it but they don't carry in stock.

I think I got a bunch for not a whole lot on Amazon. With Prime, it was in my hands in a couple of days and with free shipping.

awesome. I found a friend that had some but I'm going to place an order so I have it on hand in the future.
thanks

It's too specialized for a place like Home Depot to carry. Maybe radio shack would have, or any electronics store will (e.g., Fry's, for folks on the west coast).

It's definitely useful stuff, and worth having around. I recommend a 1" roll, as that gives you more options for cutting to any size/shape you need (vs the 1/2" or 3/8").
