Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

This project calls for a:

6 V, 150 mA solar cell with alligator clip leads, part #2221456

Yet, the link takes you to:

7.2 Volts 200mA Solar Panel with 20" Alligator Clip Leads (Jameco Part no.: 2221456)
Does it make a difference for this project? My guess is that more current would help for a better reading on the multimeter.

In the Jameco website the 6 Volts 150mA 0.9 Watt Solar Panel with Alligator Clips correspond to Part no.: 2260041.

Can somebody help?

Hi - it looks like the part numbers at Jameco might have changed, you are correct that part 2260041 is the 6V/150mA model. However, either one should work for this project - the convenient aspect is that they already have alligator clips attached.

We will update the link on our website - thanks for reporting it!

Thank you for your assistance!!!
