We' ve been delighting engineers and buyers for decades with the broadest electronics selection and most innovative services for the board, bench and facility floor. Competitive prices and 99.9% shipping accuracy are just the beginning of how we will delight you today:

Innovation in distribution

Chicago-based Newark is part of the global Premier Farnell Group, and a leading, multi-channel, high-service electronics distributor supporting millions of engineers and purchasing professionals across the Americas. We offer the broadest selection of components and test equipment and most comprehensive technical information for design engineers and maintenance professionals throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. However you do business with us--through our world-class website, contact center, or dedicated field sales force--we are dedicated to making your experience the best in the business.

A pioneer in electronics distribution, we published one of the industry's first catalogs. Today, our huge iconic print catalog is still considered the industry's best "go-to-source", and is also available in a popular interactive format.

The name Newark pays homage to Newark, NJ, the site of the nation's first and largest radio station. First established in 1934 as Newark Electric, a small shop in Chicago that sold radio parts, we are today part of one of the largest electronics distributors in the world.

500+ top brands... and still counting

At Newark, we stock everything from the latest design-in technologies to popular replacement parts. 4.4 million products are available on our website, and each week, our global technical marketing team researches and recommends hundreds of new and emerging technologies from both world-class and niche electronics manufacturers worldwide. They are then showcased at www.newark.com/new for your convenience, with comprehensive product data.

Our product range is broad and deep, to offer you a true one-stop shopping experience. For example, our semiconductor offering is now world-class and includes the latest technologies plus proven solutions from names such as Analog Devices, AVX, Cypress Semiconductors, Freescale, Microchip, National Semiconductor and Texas Instruments.

In addition to semiconductors, we offer: passive components, interconnect products, wire & cable, optoelectronics, lamps/displays, electrical and circuit protection products, power and electromechanical products, industrial control, tools, production supplies, test & measurement, enclosures and datacom.
