From Ballard Supply Corporation's website:
Charles E. Ballard, founder of Ballard Supply, started in electronics while teaching radar in New York. Ballard and Carter, a business partnership, was begun, based in Ogden, Utah, selling both electronics parts and finished goods. The partnership was later dissolved and Ballard Supply incorporated in October of 1958. At one time, store locations were in Pocatello, Idaho, Salt Lake City, Utah, with headquarters in Ogden, Utah.

Cable assemblies are collections of wires or cables banded into a single unit with connectors on at least one end.
|
|
Cable testers are handheld or benchtop electronic devices that measure the electrical and physical properties of network cabling.

Capacitors are electronic components used for storing charge and energy. In their simplest form, capacitors consist of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric.
|
|
Ceramic capacitors have a dielectric made of ceramic materials.
|
|
Coaxial cables have one conductor insulated with a dielectric material and then surrounded by the other conductor, usually referred to as the center conductor and shield. Triaxial cables are specialized coaxial cables.
|
|
Coaxial connectors are composed of an insulated central conducting wire wrapped in another cylindrical conductor (the shield). The cable is usually wrapped in another insulating layer and an outer protective layer. Coaxial cables and connectors have the capacity to carry vast quantities of information. They are typically used in high-speed data and CATV applications.

|
D-subminiature or D-sub connectors are sturdy electrical connectors with a mating face shaped like the letter D. They provide polarization because male and female connectors can fit together in only one way.
|
|
DC power supplies accept an input power and output the desired form of DC power. Common types of DC power supplies include linear power supplies, switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) type power supplies.
|
|
DC-DC converters accept DC input and provide regulated and/or isolated DC output in various applications including computer flash memory, telecommunications equipment, and process control systems.
|
|
Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips are single-transistor memory cells that use small capacitors to store each bit of memory in an addressable format that consists of rows and columns. Because capacitors are unable to hold a charge indefinitely, DRAM memory chips require a near-constant pulse of current to retain stored information.
|
|
Electrical connectors are devices that join electrical circuits together. Male connectors plug into receptacles, jacks, and outlets. Female connectors contain sockets to receive other devices.
|
|
Ethernet cables are designed to support Ethernet, a standard protocol for the connection of computers in a local area network (LAN).
|
|
High voltage capacitors are used for storing charge and energy in high voltage applications.
|
|
Industrial adhesives consist of hot melt adhesives, epoxy adhesives, polyurethane adhesives, sealants, thermoset adhesives, UV curing adhesives, silicon adhesives, acrylic adhesives and other related industrial products.
|
|
Industrial batteries translate chemical energy into electricity.
|
|
Lithium batteries have a lithium anode. They are available as both primary batteries and secondary batteries.
|
|
Memory chips are internal storage areas in computers. Although the term “memory chip” commonly refers to a computer's random access memory (RAM), this product area includes many different types of electronic data storage. Computer memory stores data electronically in cells. Without memory chips, a computer could not read programs or retain data.
|
|
Microcontrollers (MCU) are complete computer systems on a chip. They combine an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), memory, timer/counters, serial port, input/output (I/O) ports and a clock oscillator.
|
|
Network cable assemblies are used in the transmission of data across networks. Choices include Fibre Channel, FireWire or IEEE 1394, GPIB, serial, parallel, patch, SCSI, Ethernet and USB.
|
|
Power supplies are devices that produce AC or DC power. This grouping includes current sources, DC power supplies, AC-DC adapters, DC-DC converters, AC power sources, and DC-AC inverters.
|
|
Rechargeable batteries or secondary batteries contain active materials that can be regenerated by charging. When the energy produced by rechargeable batteries drops below optimum efficiency, secondary batteries may be recharged in a couple of ways, depending upon their construction.
|
|
Speakers produce and transmit sounds carried by electrical or radio signals. This product category is primarily for industrial and OEM speakers rather than those for home use.
|
|
Switches are used to allow electric current to flow when closed. When opened, they prevent current flow. Common switch types include pushbutton, rocker, toggle, rotary coded DIP, rotary DIP, key lock, slide, snap action, and reed.
|
|
Tantalum capacitors are used in smaller electronic devices including portable telephones, pagers, personal computers, and automotive electronics.
|
|
Transistors are electronic devices made of semiconductor material that amplify a signal or open or close a circuit.
|
|
Video cassette recorders (VCRs) receive video input and capture data onto analog or digital videotape. Consumer-grade products are not included in this category.
|
|
Wire harness testers evaluate continuity, resistance, isolation, and other performance factors for multi-strand wire harnesses.
