Surface Mount Components in Small Quantities E.L. Inc has introduced Engineering Lab Kits, a new product for Design and Prototyping including SMD Resistors, Chip Capacitors and SMT Zener Diodes.. November 15, 1999, Mississauga, Canada -- E.L. Inc, a leading manufacturer of both passive and passive/active combined components kits, announced their first multi-component SMD kits for design and prototyping today.

Engineering Lab Kits are intended mainly for electronic design Engineers and students who require a broad assortment of surface mount components at reasonable cost. Engineering Lab Kits offer popular 0805 and SOT-23 packages in resistance ranges from 10 Ohm to 1Meg Ohm, capacitances from 10pF to 0.1uF and zener diode values from 2.4V to 27V. Benefits include convenience and cost reduction in selecting surface mount components for prototyping and projects.

The Engineering Lab Kits includes unique features such as the wide range of solutions available, from the beginners Student Lab Kit to the 2500 piece Multi Component Surface Mount Parts Kit for Design Engineers. Refill bags are also available for replenishment of more popular values. The wide flexibility in the type and quantity of components to suit the designer's needs sets it apart from competing products. Available now, Engineering Lab Kits will be available for sale directly to the customer for between $13 and $80.

"Engineering Lab's mission is to solve the widespread problem in the market for procuring surface mount components in small quantities at reasonable prices", said K.C. Croal, Engineering Lab President, "Initial response to Engineering Lab Kits quality, features and pricing has been outstanding. "
