Mouser Electronics — a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. — is one of the industry’s fastest growing global catalog and online semiconductor and electronic component distributors.
History
Established in 1964.
To fully understand Mouser Electronics today, it helps to know where the company started. In 1964, El Cajon, California, Physics teacher, Jerry Mouser, needed components to start an electronics program at his high school. It was difficult to find the components he needed for his class. Jerry found component distributors had large minimum orders, punishing prices, high-pressure-commissioned sales people, limited selection, excessive shipping charges, slow delivery and terrible customer service. This laid the groundwork from which Mouser Electronics was formed. Soon there was a loyal following of instructors, students, hobbyists, design engineers and even production buyers.
