Mouser Electronics was founded in 1964 in El Cajon, (southern) California, by Jerry Mouser, a Physics Instructor who needed components for a newly formed electronics program at his school.

In 1983, a branch office was opened in Mansfield, Texas, located 20 miles south of the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. As the electronics industry significantly expanded, the Mansfield branch grew rapidly and, by 1986, the company's executives moved the corporate headquarters to the Mansfield location.

In January 2000, a new kind of partnership was forged when Mouser Electronics, Inc. became a subsidiary of TTI, Inc. -- one of the world's leading distributors of passive components. This combining of resources from both companies offers a complete solution for our customers, as well as our suppliers.

With Mouser's efficiency of small-quantity order fulfillment, products are delivered quickly for design-in during the prototype stage of R&D, and then transitioned to TTI for global production quantities. This complete solution is unique in the electronics distribution industry.

Mouser executives include: Chairman of the Board, Paul Andrews; President & CEO, Glenn Smith; Vice President of Product Marketing, Barry McConnell.
