ProTechTrader
ProTechTrader is a small family business dedicated to our mission on electronics: to teach and provide.
ProTechTrader started with just one employee and kept it in the family for ten years. We are committed to supporting DIY, makers, and hobbyists of electronics. We are proud to provide components that can be tricky to find. Our premiere offering is the complete kits that we developed with Charles Platt for his book "Make: Electronics". Perhaps our biggest pride is our dedication to answering questions personally and directly with intent to teach.
"Make: Electronics" Kits
Make: Electronics Kit 1 Deluxe (3rd Edition)
Covers Sections 1-3 Experiments 1-14 In The Latest Third Edition of Make: Electronics
The ProTechTrader Make: Electronics Deluxe Kit 1 has been designed specifically for the updated, rewritten 3rd Edition update of Make: Electronics by Charles Platt. The recently improved 2023 version of the kits includes additional components as suggested by the author. We worked with Charles Platt directly for our kits to follow his experiments, just the way he intended. The ProTechTrader electronics kits are highly recommended by the author and are a perfect introduction for the new electronics enthusiast. Rounding up all of the necessary components can be frustrating and time consuming, whereas we think learning electronics should be fun and exciting! The component shopping has been done so you can hit the ground running and complete all of the experiments in sections 1-3 of the 3rd edition book. Each of the components are clearly labeled for easy access, housed in a durable and easy to carry double-sided plastic organizer for your convenience.
Jam Packed With Electronic Parts, Components, Wires & Connectors
Containing nearly 200 hand-bagged and labeled electronic components we have eliminated the guesswork and saved you all of the time ordering and sorting components online.
Comes in a customizable Double-Sided Storage Organizer with 36 adjustable compartments to store all of your components.
Includes all of the following and more:

Containing nearly 200 hand-bagged and labeled electronic components we have eliminated the guesswork and saved you all of the time ordering and sorting parts!
- Newly Designed for the updated rewritten 3rd Ed update of Make: Electronics (2021 - Charles Platt)
- Referenced by author Charles Platt and the only kits recommended for Make: Electronics Third Edition
- Geared for beginners Make Electronics 3rd Ed is the top choice for anyone to learn basic electronics
- Popular choice for students and teachers in STEM programs and after school classes
- Used in classrooms and for home schooling our kits have been the go-to for learning electronics
After developing both a personal and business relationship with Charles Platt in creating a kit for his second edition book, we were fortunate enough to work alongside Mr. Platt to develop the kit for this third edition of “Make: Electronics” and to unveil the kit to coincide with the release. Charles' down-to-earth, old-school approach to teaching electronics gives the reader an easy-to-understand way to learn basic electronic circuits and principles in the book series that continues to inspire.
We are a small family business from New Jersey. Our ProTechTrader mission is two-fold: teach and provide. We are dedicated to teaching the basics of electronics hobbyists through resources and excellent service. As a small private business, we pride ourselves on service that is personal and tailored to your specific needs. We are also dedicated to providing the sort of electronic components that are not always easily available.
Completely re-written with photos and schematics replaced and updated, this latest iteration of Charles Platt's seminal beginner's guide to electronics continues the "Learning Through Discovery" model for which it has been praised since the first text was published in 2009. “Make: Electronics” is certainly the definitive guide to beginners’ D.I.Y. electronics.
