Jaco Electronics, Inc.

Hauppauge, New York 11788

Gentlemen:

        We furnish this opinion to be filed as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration 
Statement on Form S-2 (the "Registration Statement") of Jaco Electronics, Inc. 
(the "Company"), Registration No. 33-62559. The Registration Statement relates 
to the proposed public offering by the Company and certain selling stockholders 
of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock (1,840,000 shares of Common Stock if the 
over-allotment option described in the Registration Statement is exercised), as 
more particularly described in the Registration Statement.

        We are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Company in connection 
with the Registration Statement and the proposed public offering.

        On the basis of the foregoing and such other investigations as we have 
deemed necessary in connection with this opinion, and, assuming that the
Registration Statement becomes and remains effective and that applicable state
securities laws are complied with, we are of the opinion that the shares of
Common Stock to which the Registration Statement relates will, when issued and
sold in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, be legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

        We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the 
Registration Statement.  We further consent to the reference to our firm under 
the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus which is part of the Registration 
Statement.


                                Very truly yours,

                               /s/  MORRISON COHEN SINGER & WEINSTEIN, LLP
                               -------------------------------------------
