One of the hardest parts of DIY amp building, for me at least, is rounding up all the miscellaneous parts to make things work in my chassis.

At places like mouser, there are literally hundreds of thousands of these parts. I live in a remote area and don’t have a place to go “look” at parts to figure out which ones I would like best.

So I thought I would start a thread to get input on your favorite miscellaneous chassis parts. There are no limits to what you suggest, but a few items that are always necessary. Would be nice to list the mouser or other location part numbers.

– power entry connectors

– power switches

– power fuses/holders

– terminal strips/blocks to mount on the chassis for various components like an NTC or other external parts.

– Switches of many different types, input selector switches, bias meter switches, etc.

– Meters for things like bias, other settings, power meters, etc.

– RCA connectors, speaker connectors, etc.

What are your favorite misc chassis parts? If I can get a good list going, I’ll create a mouser project and share it out for others to use/copy.

I’ll start off by offering this link:

Keystone Electronics Lug Terminals Terminal Strip Solder Terminals | Mouser

It took me a while to find these on mouser, but find that I use some variant of these on almost every project.
