parts research

Mar 05, 2013 2 Replies

It occurs to me that it would be useful to have someone available for occasional parts research. Right now, I have an older PCB design that we still sell a lot of, and a couple of the opamps are both more expensive and slower than what may be available nowadays. This sort of thing happens fairly often, so some as-needed help would be great.



Anybody interested could email me. Ability to read and understand parts data sheets is of course a basic requirement.

The industry term is 'component engineer', if you want to look for someone local. Even the good ones often need to consult with the circuit designers to make sure that something will work.

Yep, not only the surrounding schematics, but rather complete performance requirements as well.
