What's New on the Web
  | Got Samples? |
Obtaining Tyco Electronics product samples has never been easier. And now with the implementation of My Cart, it is even easier to request samples. Samples can be requested (and added to the My Cart) from the My Part Lists application, as well as the Product Details page of any active product. The new user-friendly service features real-time sample availability and the simple, ordering process does not require a customer account number. Any user wishing to request free samples may do so at any time after going through the basic registration process.
To easily obtain a Tyco Electronics sample for your design project, look for the Request Sample link. Samples generally ship within 1 business day and can be sent anywhere in the world.
