PartMiner Expands Material Information

Joint Industry Guide Information Now Available in CAPSTM Material Content Database

Centennial, Colorado and Melville, New York (BUSINESS WIRE)-- May 3, 2007 _PartMiner, Inc. continues to expand the CAPSTM database with the addition of Joint Industry Guide (JIG), Material Composition Declaration values. The standard, JIG-101, was created by member companies of EICTA (Europe), JGPSSI (Japan), EIA (USA) and JEDEC (USA).

"To meet the increasing need for hazardous material information, the CAPSTM Material Content Database now includes negative declaration data reported on restricted JIG substances and materials of concern. This compliments PartMiner's current RoHS data offering with much more depth at the component substance detail," according to Paul Magin, SVP content & solutions.

PartMiner uses direct manufacturer feeds, custom data services, and the proven CAPSTM data collection methodology to save our customers time in evaluating component compliance. Described by the JIG-101 and IPC-1752 (Class 3/Class 4) standards, substance weight and parts per million (PPM) values make it easy to compile summary reports at an assembly level.

The addition of Joint Industry Guide information demonstrates PartMiner's continued commitment to deliver the information our users want. JIG data is offered as a free upgrade to CAPSTM subscribers of the Material Content database segment.
