About Us

Cool Components is an online retailer of cutting-edge electronic components.

The company started trading in 2004 because of the difficulty of finding useful electronics 'stuff' at a reasonable price. Now, more than 13 years later, we've served hundreds of thousands of happy customers, many of whom come back time after time.

We pride ourselves on being a family business, with a commitment to the highest levels of customer service and technical support. Because of this, our customers include hobbyists and makers, students, academics, as well as institutions including universities, NHS trusts and commercial companies.

We sell well-known brands like Arduino, Sparkfun, Raspberry Pi, Pololu and many more alongside our own range of products. We were one of the first companies to sell affordable non-kit 3D printers in Europe, and we're continuing to push frontiers with DNA research technology, LIDAR and drone innovations.
