We study the component structure of the random graph $G=G_{n,m,d}$. Here $d=O(1)$ and $G$ is sampled uniformly from ${\mathcal G}_{n,m,d}$, the set of graphs with vertex set $[n]$, $m$ edges and maximum degree at most $d$. If $m=μn/2$ then we establish a threshold value $μ_\star$ such that if $μμ_\star$ then w.h.p. there is a unique giant component of order $n$ and the remaining components have size $O( \log n)$.
