Where to order wiring/soldering components?

Need this for a work thing and it is not really in my wheelhouse.
Considering there are no radio shacks, where is the best place to order wiring stuff. not like home electrical but more for like making circuit stuff.
I need to make essentially a switch plate to send a current to different wells of a culture plate. I have a schematic and everything, just need the parts.
capacitor (220 μF)
platinum wire (0.25 mm ∅)
platinum electrode (0.5 mm ∅)
6 on off switches
also need resistors but not sure size
that is the schematic

there's other places, but that's my go-to. One warning: they have a friggin' enormous product database.
You also need to figure out how (and to what) you want to mount your various components. Generally you can choose between surface mount, through hole, and axial connections for most parts.
Also, is there any particular reason why you are using such small gauge wire and platinum? Solder itself is normally ~.75mm OD. Something 1/3 of the size is going to be a real pain in the ass to work with.
Oh, if you didn't like my first choice Digikey, then you probably won't like my second choice Mouser Electronics.
So they're both geared more towards kits, but both Sparkfun and Adafruit do sell components, and might be easier to search for your stuff.
I'm trying to figure out that wire choice. Is there not room for a bigger gauge (diameter) going to the electrodes?
