Radio Shack Radioshack Make Electronics Component Pack 2 - 1st (Model: 2760352)

RadioShack Make: Electronics Component Pack 2 – 1st Edition (Catalog #2760352) Take Your Electronics Skills to the Next Level

Ready to advance beyond the basics? The RadioShack Make: Electronics Component Pack 2 is your essential toolkit for mastering intermediate electronics concepts. Specifically designed to complement Charles Platt's acclaimed Make: Electronics 1st Edition book (2009), this comprehensive component pack contains everything you need to complete experiments 12–24 — covering Chapters 3 and 4 — transforming you from beginner to confident electronics hobbyist.

Important: This is the 2nd kit in a series designed exclusively for the Make: Electronics 1st Edition (2009) by Charles Platt. It is not compatible with the 2nd Edition of the book. If you own the 2nd Edition, please see our dedicated kits for Make: Electronics 2nd Edition available at ProTechTrader.com, Amazon, eBay, and Walmart. Charles Platt's official kit recommendation site is plattkits.com/kits/.

What This Pack Covers

Component Pack 2 picks up exactly where Pack 1 left off, diving deep into integrated circuits, digital electronics, and hands-on soldering skills. With over 130 components organized in a rugged tackle-style box, you'll be ready to start working on excellent projects the moment you open the book. Build the circuits first, then learn the theory behind them — no prior knowledge of electricity required.

Section 2 of Make: Electronics introduces critical intermediate concepts including analog and digital integrated circuits, logic gates, advanced transistor applications, counters, timers, and complex circuit design principles. These experiments require specific components not typically found in basic starter kits. Component Pack 2 ensures you have exactly what you need, spec-matched and quality-tested, so you can focus on learning rather than troubleshooting.

Please Note: This Is a Multi-Option Listing

This listing offers multiple purchase options to suit different needs and budgets. Please select your preferred option from the drop-down menu before adding to cart. Each option is described in detail below so you can choose the right fit for your learning goals.

Option 1 – Complete Component Pack 2 (Standard)

The full Component Pack 2 as described above, containing all 130+ components required to complete experiments 12–24 in Make: Electronics 1st Edition, Chapters 3 and 4. Includes the rugged tackle-style storage box, lead-free solder, PC boards, project box, and all ICs, capacitors, logic chips, and accessories listed in the complete component list above. This is the recommended option for most learners who want everything in one shipment.

Covers: Experiments 12–24 (Chapters 3 & 4, Make: Electronics 1st Edition)

Price: $107.99 | Free shipping on orders $35 and above | In stock, ships within 1 business day

Option 2 – Mini Kit 1 (Experiments 12–18)

Prefer to split your purchase? Mini Kit 1 covers the first half of the Section 2 experiments, focusing on experiments 12 through 18. This option includes the specific ICs, capacitors, logic chips, and passive components needed for those experiments only. It is ideal for learners who want to work through the book at a measured pace and source the remaining components later, or for educators running a phased curriculum.

Covers: Experiments 12–18 (first half of Chapters 3 & 4, Make: Electronics 1st Edition)

Does not include: Components specific to experiments 19–24, the project box, PC boards sized for later experiments, or the full solder and header assortment included in the complete pack.

Option 3 – Mini Kit 2 (Experiments 19–24)

Mini Kit 2 covers the second half of the Section 2 experiments, picking up at experiment 19 and carrying you through to experiment 24. This option is designed for learners who already purchased Mini Kit 1 and are ready to continue, or for those who have sourced earlier components independently and only need the specialized parts for the later, more advanced experiments.

Covers: Experiments 19–24 (second half of Chapters 3 & 4, Make: Electronics 1st Edition)

Does not include: Components specific to experiments 12–18 or duplicate items already supplied in Mini Kit 1.

Why Choose RadioShack Make: Electronics Component Pack 2?

• Spec-matched accuracy: Every component matches the exact specifications called for in the 1st Edition textbook — no guesswork, no substitutions.
• Hard-to-find parts sourced for you: We've spent hours locating the specific ICs and components called for in Chapters 3 and 4 so you don't have to.
• Quality you can trust: RadioShack has supported electronics education and hobbyists for decades. Reliable components mean you troubleshoot your circuits, not your parts.
• Cost-effective bundling: Sourcing these components individually across multiple suppliers would cost significantly more in both money and time.
• Organized and ready to use: Components arrive sorted in a rugged tackle-style box, so you spend your time learning, not sorting.

Who Should Order Component Pack 2?

• Students who completed Component Pack 1: Continue your structured learning path without interruption.
• Make: Electronics 1st Edition users: Specifically designed for experiments 12–24 in the 1st Edition (2009) only.
• Intermediate electronics learners: Perfect for those ready to explore integrated circuits, logic gates, counters, and timers.
• Electronics hobbyists: Expand your component inventory with quality parts useful well beyond this book.
• Educators and workshop leaders: Ensure all students have identical, reliable components for consistent classroom results.

Looking for Other Kits in This Series?

This is Kit 2 of a two-kit series for the Make: Electronics 1st Edition. If you haven't already, you may also need Component Pack 1, which covers experiments 1–11. Both kits together provide complete component coverage for the entire 1st Edition book.

If you own the Make: Electronics 2nd Edition, this kit is not the right fit. ProTechTrader's authorized kits for the 2nd Edition are available through ProTechTrader.com, Amazon, eBay, and Walmart. Visit plattkits.com/kits/ for Charles Platt's official kit recommendations for the 2nd Edition.
