Findchips Pro is a sourcing power tool. It enables you to:
The magic of Findchips Pro begins when you add several parts to your list or upload a Bill of Materials (BOM). By default, you'll start off with a default list you can either add to manually or by uploading a BOM.
Don't already have a BOM handy? Here's a sample list of components you can upload to see how Findchips Pro works.
Get Sample List
Once you've downloaded the sample list (BOM), click Upload BOM on the homepage and follow the tutorial video below. You'll be able to choose a name for your list, confirm that the columns are correct, and choose quantity and distributor preferences.
Once you've uploaded your BOM, you'll be taken to the List page.
Below is an overview of the main Findchips Pro List page. Hover over the orange hotspots for additional information.
You can create new lists:
From an external source
From the home page, underneath the search bar, paste a selection from a spreadsheet or upload a file from your device.
From a search result page
When searching for parts using the Findchips search, simply click on the star icon to add a part to your default list
To select the list to which you'd like to add the part, or to Create New List for that part, click on the list icon.
Misspelled or incomplete CPNs? Findchips Pro will automatically suggest the parts you’re looking for and give you the capacity to immediately identify several alternative parts that match the necessary Form, Fit and Function.
You can switch between the Did you mean? tab, which contains part number corrections/suggestions, and the Xref tab, which provides you with a list of alternative parts that match the Form, Fit, and Function of the original part.
From the top menu, click on Preferences from the Your Account dropdown. From there, select which suppliers to include in your searches. This will be applied to all of your Findchips searches. You can also set specific preferences for each of your lists.
The Help & Chat widget in the bottom right corner of all Findchips pages is your access to Live Chat, Help Articles, and more.
