Parts - Hat Tricks

There are a couple of hat tricks that can be used to increase your productivity.

Digi-Key example:

Start a new record, enter a Mfr P/N i.e. 90120-0122, then select Digi-Key as the supplier.

Double click on the black hat.

You should see the Mfr P/N data displayed on the Digi-Key site.

Drag and drop the Digi-key URL into the black hat to fill in the parametric data.

Mouser Example:

The same trick can also be used for finding parts at Mouser.

What happens when you double click on the black hat depends on what data is in the record and which supplier is selected.

If you double click on the black hat and the Supplier Part Details URL is valid, your browser will go to the web page at the address shown in the Link 2 URL field.

If the URL link to the Supplier Part Details is not valid or is blank, then Parts will try to find the part using the Supplier Part Number.

If the Supplier Part Number is blank then Parts will try find the part using the Manufacturer Part Number.


That's It !
