Part Number Search Tips
- Search Type (applies to the Part Number field only)
- Starts With - Use this option to add an implicit trailing wildcard (an invisible *) after the part number entry.
For example, LM317 would find LM317AEMP, LM317BT, LM317T, and so on. - Contains - Use this option to add implicit leading and trailing wildcards (invisible *) to the part number entry.
- Exact - Use this option to get results on an exact part number match. For example, use the option to find the standard JEDEC transistor part number 2N37.
- Manufacturer - Select a manufacturer of the part number being searched.
- Filter - Select an option to specify whether discontinued parts should be shown in the search results.
- Database - Select a specific component database to narrow the search.
- Entry Fields - You can enter search terms in one or multiple fields. The search uses an implied AND between the fields.
- Wildcards - In all entry fields, these manual wildcard characters are permitted:
* - stands for any number of characters
? - stands for a single character
The wildcards can be leading, embedded, or trailing.
Note: Even if the Exact option is selected, you can use wildcards in the Part Number field.
- Generic Numbers - Generic numbers (integrated circuits only) can be entered in the Part Number field, using the Contains option or leading and trailing wildcards. A generic number is the C:/springsource/workspace-sts-2.7.2.RELEASE/Xpert/WebContent number, which does not include prefixes or suffixes. Example: 68020 is the generic number for MC68020RC25.
- Brand Names - Brand name entries (for example, Pentium) in the Part Number field are available for integrated circuits only.
- Multiple Entries in a Field - Multiple entries in a field are permitted, but implementation varies according to field.
- Part Number - For an OR operation, separate the entries with commas or semicolons. Example: CLC006AJE,CLC007AJE searches for both part numbers (either CLC006AJE or CLC007AJE).
- Keyword - Both AND and OR operations are available. Put a space between keywords for AND searches. Use commas or semicolons for OR searches. Examples: audio amplifier searches for parts that can be described by both "audio" and "amplifier". audio,amplifier searches for parts that can be described by either "audio" or "amplifier".
