Hello John,

When you look for electronic parts or gear, which search engines do
you use?

Digikey and Arrow ;-)

If neither got the part it is most likely a boutique part. Then I do my
best not to need that device in a design for a client.

For general ideas of what might be out there in case of an unusual
project I use Google.

No joke: The other less electronic search engines are plain old
databooks. Anything in there that suffices for a design is most likely
going to be dirt cheap by now. That makes the client's purchasing folks
and their CFO happy.

Regards, Joerg

findchips.com, then go to one of the suppliers - most will have a
pointer to the mfgrs data sheet and you've got price and availability
as a bonus.

I have good luck with Google. After the search, I go to the site that
has a major manufactures name in the URL. That way, I'm guarantted of
getting a good quality data sheet.

My first attempt for just about anything is
http://www.dogpile.com
It is a meta search using a number of search engines including google so
what it finds is a superset of googles results.
