Jaycar Electronics Wellington is the Wellington store of Jaycar, at 76 Adelaide Rd in Mount Cook, with a 4.3 Google rating. Its store page is on jaycar.co.nz. The directory files it as a hardware store, but Jaycar is better known as an electronics retailer.
Jaycar is a well-known retailer of electronic components, kits and gadgets, popular with hobbyists, students, makers and tradespeople. Typical stock includes cables, connectors, batteries, tools, Arduino-style boards, security and audio gear, so it is a good place to go when you need a part quickly. Staff can help you match a component to a project, but it helps to bring the old part, a photo or the model number. For anything wired into a home's mains supply, remember that in New Zealand most fixed electrical work must be done by a registered electrician, so buy parts for low-voltage projects and ask a professional about the rest. Regulars check stock online first, look for kits to learn on and keep a small stock of fuses and connectors.
Adelaide Rd is a main road near central Wellington, so this store suits students, makers and tradies in the city.
