JK saves the day!! I am so thankful to these guys. I am a new owner of a photobooth machine and the Friday before a huge corporate event I was planning on debuting the photobooth at, I broke the cord that supplies power to the photo booth. It's a very unique, funky cord that no one could figure out, definitely nothing I could pick up at a Frys or a Best Buy. I brought it by and even though they didn't have the exact part needed they were able to troubleshoot and splice a new plug onto the existing cord so that I could plug it into the photo booth. It worked! The booth functioned, we had a blast and best of all, they charged me only the cost of the part, which was $2!!! I'm a lifetime customer now. So happy to be supporting a small local business with EXEMPLARY customer service! read more

IMO this is the best electronics store left in the area. Big and they are rarely out of anything. I like to fix and build things myself. Because of this place I'm able to do it, got all my car and boat LED conversion bulbs here and even the extra parts to install my alarm with remote start in my truck. Seems like they have every "Low Voltage" tool you would need... read more

Guys, you never disappoint me. Convenient, parking is a breeze, the guys here are super helpful. I was able to find the things I needed with ease. Store was properly labeled. Now I can fix my facial machine's broken switch. Thanks JK! read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon looking for an h-bridge for a robot I was assigned to create for a project. Upon entering the store, the cashier asked me if I needed help (hence the extra star). When I asked for an h-bridge he directed me to the back where there are so-called specialists when it comes to electronic parts. So as I walked to the back, I asked about getting an h-bridge, thinking that they would help me out (I don't know too much about parts, I came here thinking they would give me advice). They asked me for the part number and they told me that they can't recommend me anything. Luckily, the cashier told me the part numbers for the h-bridge. I also needed an inverter, so again I didn't have the part number. I asked if they had inverters, and the guy in the back again said I needed the part number, so I explained what I needed it for. Again, he can't sell it to me unless I have the part number, so he gives me a huge book of parts......no way am I going to look through a book of a billion parts to try and find the part on my own. So I grab the h-bridges and head to the front to pay for the parts. As I pay, I ask the cashier if he knew about inverters, and the cashier tells me I need to do more research before I come to the store. So, if you are searching for advice in electronic parts, then don't come here. I'm eventually going to need more parts for all of my projects and no way I'm coming back to this place. read more

Horrible service. The two kids (one is covered in tats and is usually smoking out front) in the back are rude and don't know the first thing about electronics. I went there looking for some resistors and when I asked for some help they replied with some smart ass reply. Whoever owns this store needs to fire the two who work in the back as they are destroying this once great store. I will be ordering online from now on. read more

Good prices, the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. If you're looking for an unusual component they probably have it or can tell you where to find it. read more

JK employee in the back: "ask the cashier for the student discount." JK Cashier: "he was Just fucking with you, there is no student discount. 40$ for some connectors and gates please." everything is extremely $$$ overpriced so a student discount would have been nice, but I digress. 1 star for rudeness and general asshattery of the staff. . read more

Ive had to come here 3 times trying to get the right components for a project I'm working on and half of the parts they sold me from the parts list I showed them were the wrong parts. When I went to return the items, after being told that I COULD return them if they weren't the right parts, they rejected my request and told me that the parts had been used. Well how am I supposed to know whether or not the parts work or are correct until i use them. This is the only place I've ever heard of that wouldn't take back something. And it may not have been so bad had the Long-blonde-haired clerk not been so condescending and rude about it. Here I am, trying something new and he feels the need to belittle me and put me down in front of the other customers. Some of the people at Fry's may not be very well versed in electronics but at least they know how to take care of their customers. i'll be taking my business there from now on. read more

This place is a toy store for electronic nerds, seriously. When I need to get my hardware geek funk on. There's a ton of parts available, anything to complete a project. And tools. the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The prices are fair for brick-and-mortar, but prices can be cheaper online. read more

Fast, knowledgable, great prices. Twice they have come through with getting me out of a bind with blown fuses

This is a great place for all sorts of electronics and testing equipment. I have been coming here for years and they always have the most obscure oddball thing i'm looking for. The people at the counter in back are helpful and knowledgeable and willing to help figure out what is needed for small projects. If you like electronics and projects check this place out. read more

So yesterday I went to the store and I had a great experience but when I went to pay I could not use my credit card because it did not have a chip. That was very strange but all in all it was not good. The least they could of down was posted signs to let the public know so that we would not have to spend hrs in the store then finding out we had to make a special trip to go get cash. read more

All kinds of cool gadgets and supplies for all of your electronic ventures. Very mom and pop which is my favorite type of store. Very polite and knowledgable staff. read more

I stop by every once in a while to load up on supplies for my engineering classes at CSULB. Hey got everything you need. The staff is very helpful and most of their stuff is a bargain. I walked in earlier this week to buy some LED's. I was blown away to find a small bag of assorted LED's (estimating about 100 or less) for $5.95. Compare that to the 2-pk of LED's for $2-$3 from Radioshack down the street. This is my permanent electronics store, regardless of the extra 10-15min drive to LB from LA. read more

Helpful staff and the store has quite a surprising variety of "stuff" to satisfy any electronic buff. Unfortunately, we didn't find what we were looking for (the right adaptor for our laptop AC charger) but that did not take away from the neat tidiness of the shelves, the variety they offer or the willingness to help from the staff. These things, these days, are a rare thing in retail. Keep up the good work JK Electronics ! read more

JKE is a gem: the very antithesis of the gold-standard of electronic component cluelessness, Radio Shuck (and jive). Whereas RS employees are hired dumb as rocks in terms of product knowledge and seem to take great pride in remaining so, the JKE guys are true electronics geeks. The aforementioned dude with the pierced eyebrow can be a bit off-putting at first but believe me, he KNOWS his stuff. As stated by a prior reviewer, prices may be a bit more than online (though not always) but there is a reason: it costs money to pay the overhead of a real store and I, for one, am happy to shell out for the convenience of being able to grab the final widget needed to complete a project LOCALLY, WITHOUT having to play shipping roulette with some yahvitz on Ebay. PATRONIZE THEM! It's the only chance we have of slowing the corporate crushing and subsequent ruination of service-oriented specialty businesses like JKE. read more

This place is classic !!!!!! It's like the "High Fidelity" of electronic shops where everyone is a Jack Black !!! It took me like 10 visits to not get totally belittled and made to feel like a total dork. BUT............. I love this place!!!!! the guys totally know their stuff and if you don't... your going to get hammered. Kinda going to see the IT guy in your office and asking him a dumbass question. However if you need parts and do your homework or are a nerd or wire head you will love this place..... And they sell good quality irons. read more

I only recently found JK's but from what I have seen so far I am impressed. It a strange store, from the front it looks tiny, but as you go inside it just keeps going and going! I don't think they could cram any more stuff into this space. They have a great selection of items, and I get the feeling this place has been around a while as they still have the old metal parts drawers that hold those hard to find small items. The times I have been in here I have yet to stump them with what I was looking for, they seem to have one of everything! Check them out, even if you don't buy you will have fun. Recommended. read more

THIS is the kind of electronics store that is getting harder and harder to find these days! A place where you can find surplus electronics, components, tools and equipment for your own projects. Don't like the crowded, "big box" electronic stores like "Fr$s"? Then JK Electronics is the place you want to go to. Let's keep this store our little secret . Tom S. read more

Great service and stock. New, surplus, and clearance stuff. Very good selection of tools and test equipment. Hobbyists and professionals will love this store. Two doors east of BIG LOTS. Never a problem parking. Good phone service. Good COVID protocol. Rave review! read more

I used to come here to this store during my CSULB days for some of my projects. I remember going there for my micro controllers and electrical circuit classes to build an interface with a speaker, an LED display. I just remember spending around $100 dollars for a project a blackjack game that I got a B+ on because I built it on more software. I remember a female working there that was very nice and friendly and helped me get components that I needed on my shopping lists. From the pictures looks like the place still looks outdated and from the 70's. I got the student discount on $10 dollars a good place to go for if you are student doing a project, unfortunately only Frys would carry this kind of stuff. read more

Extremely unfriendly staff. Horrible customer service. I was hoping to get some professional help and opinions from these people, I'm a regular in building rotary's and wanted to check out a new place to get some shrink tube and electrical wrap. Instead of meeting with professionals I found myself dealing with professional ASSHOLES! They only get one star because by default they're isn't anything worse. I'm biG on supporting small business, but I'm not even willing to go back. read more

Pretty disappointed in this store. 4 dudes holding each other hands behind the counter probably talking of war craft or larping. Provided no assistance, in Stocks of merchandise is bad. Prices are very high. I ended up buying my stuff on amazon for almost half the price they were asking. Bummer because I try to support retail brick and mortar stores. Guy mentioned he's a professional parts seller, not an expert installer... lame! read more

I have been going to JK Electronics for several years. This business is a great resource for an electronics hobbyist / amateur radio guy. They have a large selection of all kinds parts and equipment. Yes, you do need to know what you want when you go there but the staff has been very helpful to me when I have a question. Prices are very competitive and they do special order items for you if they don't have them in stock. JK Electronics is a very unique place. read more

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They answered all my questions and helped me find everything I needed to complete my project.

I've been having so many problems with my Samsung fridge. I brought my circuit board in to JK the people were so friendly, kind and very honest. I told them I've been having a lot of problems with my refrigerator. They did not have the circuitboard that I needed. So they referred me to OCAP supply in Garden Grove. It was so nice to have them send me somewhere where actually they could help me!! Not very many stores will go out of their way to help. But JK cares. They gave me a Business card to OCAP Supply. If you have any issues with electronics JK is the place to go, there willing to help and they actually care for their customers!! I will be going there from now on for my electric issues I have. read more

Great store with excellent customer service. James is very helpful in finding exactly what I need

I am an amateur radio operator who loves to build and experiment. I usually Hoover up what parts i need at either the Chino Hills or TRW swap meet every month. But if I have holes in my parts list, I drop by here. I have *never* been treated OTHER THAN cordially and with patience. Because I like tech stuff does not mean I know a lot so -- often -- I will go in and ask the guys behind the parts counter to explain and advise me as to the part I need. They are patient and friendly and provide the necessary advise freely. Another point that is good is the fact that the cashier will *show* you where the parts are located if you ask (provided he's not busy). Prices are another matter, though. They may be a little higher than the stuff you get off of eBay but they are quality parts -- and no Chinese knock-offs. Also, take some time to snoop around and yo might find some very useful values. A while ago, I raided the place for some quality/reasonably prices air variable caps and a ton of their crystals. Still smile when I look at them in my junk box waiting for a project. Now, I have seen that they have some old computer switchers on sale. Pretty easy matter to make a decent 12 VDC/5 VDC bench supply out of 'em if you like. ..and I see where they are selling the Raspberry Pi there for $35 or so. Hurry on down! read more

Lots of selection for the many miscellaneous things you might need but you won't find another places like Best buy or Fry's. I think the owners were there they answered the phone they were super nice while we were there very helpful. Support small businesses they tend to give you better service. Good pricing on everything. read more

It's a good store, but, the service guys that work there could use a course in customer service and friendliness, they are all for the most part pretty rude and cocky, if you don't have a degree in electronics! read more

I love this place. It is rare when I can't find what I need there. If not I'll check orvac by my pad. Prices are great, really cheap, quality guitar cables, kinda random but all their cables are good prices. I haven't really dealt with the staff but everyone at the register is pretty cool. An old dude one time kinda gave me a "who the fuck let the garbage in?" , but I was kinda having a shitty day. Great store read more

It is difficult to rate this store. Considering that it is the only place for miles that stocks components, related tools and supplies - it has to get five stars. These stores are becoming extinct. The best way to keep them around is to support them. JK has been around forever. I remember driving from Woodland Hills (SFV) to Orange County back in the 1970's to get special parts. For routine components and such their prices are very competitive. I purchased a package of "name brand" fuses (five in a pack) for $3.71. They also carry audio stuff that is difficult to find elsewhere. Someone stated for Nerds - Not True. They assist everyone. While helpful to all, they sell a lot of product to professionals as well. read more

I am never going to this place again. I've had a couple bad experiences in this store, particularly with the employees. I've been ignored, insulted, and today I was talked down to. I know my knowledge of electronics is fairly limited, which is why I asked one of the employees (the one with the pierced eyebrow, for reference). I was looking for some help on a simple LED project, and when I asked him what I might need for it, he told me flat out he didn't know, and went off to talk to his coworkers. After looking around the store for somebody to help me (all the employees seem to be talking to each other in the back), I finally got the attention of the person who I can only assume was in charge. He told me the person I should talk to is (you guessed it) the guy with the pierced eyebrow, who had himself scurried off the store floor into the back. Yes, they have a lot of electronic equipment, but unless you need something IMMEDIATELY and know exactly what you need, shop online - it'll be a lot cheaper, too. I hate to see smaller business go under, but honestly I could care less what happens to this store. read more

Man this place has all your electronic needs from all gauges of wire to components. Very knowledgeable people that work there great customer service and great prices. The store is pretty big and has pretty much what you are looking for when it comes to electronics read more

JK Electronics is a staple for anyone repairing electronics or just looking for parts like batteries or connectors/cables/plugs for just about any device. The store is laid out well, easy to find whatever you are looking for and the staff, most of which have been there for years, are very helpful and knowledgeable. I typically by board mounted components like transistors or capacitors and they almost always have these parts in stock for a reasonable cost. The owner is usually there and super helpful and friendly as well. Rarely do I give a 5 star review but these guys deserve it. read more

I needed batteries for a digital tire pressure gauge and I purchased the ones that were recommended by the staff. As it turns out they were the wrong kind and didn't work. They have a no refund policy on batteries so their mistake cost me $20. Stupid policy for what could be a good store. read more

this place is a godsend if you need electronics components for an art project or other useless diy nerdy contraption and can't wait on shipping. i usually order most things online, but sometimes, i have an immediate need for wire or a switch, which they have a zillion of in a variety of flavors and colors. some of their inventory includes a small selection of leds, shrink wrap tubing in many colors and sizes, solid and braided wire in different gauges and colors, electrical tape in a rainbow of colors to match the wire, switches, relays, heat sinks, soldering irons and other related paraphernalia, circuit boards, connectors. the staff seem fairly knowledgeable and helpful. the selection is much better than radio shack for most things. price-wise, i don't think it's that cheap, but it's convenient. read more

In response to a couple of bad reviews below, Yes, in almost all cases, you'll need to have a part number, or better yet, youre old part, when you walk through the door. There are thousands of electronic parts to be had here, they cant simply "recommend" something for your specific application. Its like going to Frys, you need to know what youre looking for when you go in. I went in with a silicon rectifier that was burned out. They had my part in stock and tested my old one to verify it was bad. What more could you want? read more

This is the place to come....Staff very well informed and helpful. They have a very well stocked store and can get most anything you want. The owner Ken and his help of Jimmy and Ben can resolve any problem you have. I have been coming here for over 15 years and never had a problem..... read more

Though I don't go there very often, whenever there is something specifically electronic in nature I need this is the place to go. They have always been able to supply me with any item that I have been searching for. The staff is very nice and knows their stuff. read more
