Intelligent component search and cross-referencing for hardware engineers. Find the right part — and its second-source alternatives — in seconds, not hours.
Capabilities
Every feature was designed to solve a specific pain point we saw hardware engineers dealing with — repeatedly.
Search by part number, description, or specification. Natural language queries like "64-pin ARM MCU with USB, 3.3V" return ranked results with exact matches and near-matches.
Automatically identifies pin-compatible and functionally equivalent alternatives across 50+ manufacturers. Flags compatibility caveats so you know exactly what needs re-validation.
Flags components approaching end-of-life, last-time-buy status, or with declining stock trends. Know before you design them in — not after tooling is cut.
Real-time price and stock data from Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow, Avnet, and LCSC. Comparison at target volumes — 100, 1K, 10K units — in one view.
Upload your BOM as CSV or Excel. The tool validates each line item, identifies single-source risks, flags obsolete parts, and suggests alternatives in a single pass.
Export validated BOMs, component reports, and second-source maps as Excel, CSV, or PDF. Designed to fit your existing engineering workflow, not replace it.
Use Cases
Run your BOM through Component Finder 4–6 weeks before design freeze. Catch single-source risks, validate lead times against your launch timeline, and identify which components need urgent second-source qualification.
Your lead MCU just went from 12 weeks to 52 weeks overnight. Find pin-compatible alternatives in minutes, with compatibility caveats flagged so your engineers know exactly what firmware and hardware validation is needed.
Before committing to a microcontroller or sensor family for a new product, use Component Finder to evaluate availability, pricing trends, and the breadth of the second-source ecosystem across candidate components.
Give your procurement team a structured tool for validating component selections from engineering. Reduces back-and-forth on part number questions and builds a shared language between engineering and supply chain.
