OUR HISTORY
Jameco Electronics was founded in 1974 in Silicon Valley by Dennis Farrey with a vision of delivering exceptional value in electronic components to customers. What began as a small startup with a modest 2-page advertisement in Radio Electronics magazine has grown over the past 50 years based on Mr. Farrey’s founding principle of an unwavering commitment to customers.
Today, Jameco Electronics remains dedicated to its original goal of being a core electronics component distributor. We source high-quality products and offer competitive pricing to meet the needs of engineers, hobbyists, and professionals in industries ranging from consumer technology to industrial automation. For nearly five decades, we’ve built our reputation on valuing long-term customer relationships above all else.
Jameco Electronics is now a well-established electronics store and distributor with years of experience dealing directly with manufacturers worldwide. Because of our direct connection and long history with these manufacturers, we’re able to get the lowest possible prices for the highest quality products.
OUR JOURNEY
As a leading electronics component distributor, Jameco Electronics has been expanding and innovating since its inception. In 2004, we introduced four lines of branded products to expand its offerings and provide customers with more choices. These include the ValuePro™ line of passive, electromechanical, and interconnect products; the ReliaPro™ line of power supplies, fans, and motors; the BenchPro™ line of professional-grade workbench tools; and the KitPro™ line of educational and hobbyist electronic kits.

In March 2005, we acquired the well-known robotics website, RobotStore.com. This strategic move allowed the company to broaden its product portfolio for hobbyists and enthusiasts. In July 2008, Jameco Electronics launched a cutting-edge website, enabling customers to search and compare products instantly based on various specifications or features. This made us the electronics component distributor of choice for all electronic components and accessories.
As a trusted electronics store and distributor, Jameco Electronics guarantees what we sell. Whatever you need for your project, you can be sure that we only sell high-quality and reliable products and are committed to exceeding all industry standards.
