About ProTechTrader
ProTechTrader is a family-owned small business from New Jersey dedicated to making electronics education accessible and enjoyable for everyone. For over a decade, we have proudly served the maker community—from curious beginners to experienced hobbyists, educators, and STEM enthusiasts.
What started as a husband-and-wife venture has grown into a trusted destination for high-quality electronic components and kits. Our mission is simple: provide the exact parts you need to learn electronics through hands-on discovery, with personalized support every step of the way.

Our component kits are designed to perfectly match the experiments in his books—every resistor, capacitor, LED, and IC is hand-sorted and quality-checked to ensure you have exactly what you need.
