Consider the following: you are a research and development engineer tasked with designing a new optical-communications-related product. Your responsibilities include not only determining that exact components required, but also selecting a supplier for those components. The challenge you must face is ensuring the selected components are the right components, especially considering that nearly all suppliers sell in bulk.
Fortunately, Electronic Products' Sample Center provides access to over 25,000 samples from one consolidated, easy-to-search location ─ the majority of which are free!
The Sample Center inventory includes components from leading organizations such as Texas Instruments, Maxim Integrated, Honeywell, Littelfuse, HARTING, Harwin, and more.
Seeking an analog or mixed-signal semiconductor product? Click Maxim Integrated and obtain access to its database of over 2,000 free parts.
Perhaps you're looking for the right electrical connectors and components for use in mechanical and plant engineering, or power generation? Then select the HARTING Sample Center.
Texas Instruments alone has tens of thousands of components available—all of which are free for you to try out! Just choose the supplier in the needed components to bring up all of the sample subcategories.
Users will have no issue navigating through the center; filtering the correct sample is a simple matter of selecting the necessary parameters. For example, if a user needs an audio converter, all he or she needs to do is choose a supplier, select “audio” from the sample category, then “audio converter” to bring up the entire sample listing. At this point, the sample's entire parameters choices are displayed on the left-hand side, allowing the user to specify if they want an ADC Bit Depth of 16, 18, or 24 bits (amongst many other criteria).
Clicking the box pertaining to requisite parameter displays the available samples, including their manufacturer, status, part family, and ROHS compliancy. Once a selection is finalized, users can also obtain downloadable materials pertaining to the component, including tech drawing, datasheets, and 3D CAD files, as well as acquire the sample as shown below.
With a growing list of over 25,000 components and easy navigation, Electronic Products' Sample Center will save you countless hours of research. Go to the Sample Center now to check it out!
