With more than 15 million parts and components accessible in one resource, CAPS Expert reduces search time and materials costs, minimises redesign and increases the process efficiencies essential for demanding design engineering, production and maintenance repair operations (MRO) environments.
"CAPS Expert is a unique, cost-effective source for electronics design, purchasing, maintenance and repair professionals", said Randy Weil, executive vice president, Sales, Marketing and Global Engineering Documents at IHS.
"Because millions of hard-to-find components and parts are housed in a one-stop shop, CAPS Expert allows electronics professionals more time to design and produce high-quality products instead of just searching for components".
The CAPS Expert database includes components such as semiconductors, passives, connectors and electromechanicals, and Mil-Spec cylindrical connectors.
It aids the process of selecting components and suppliers from product development throughout the entire product life cycle.
It can be used to make component and supplier selection, manage obsolete parts and reference real-time product availability information.
Users are able to compare product information side by side from component manufacturers and select parts based on fit, form and function.
"By offering CAPS Expert through IHS, we are able to direct our database of parts and components to a targeted audience and reach relevant users", said Mark Beckett, vice president, Information Services at PartMiner.
"IHS' more than 40 years of technical parts and information experience combined with PartMiner's vast content makes CAPS Expert an invaluable asset to the electronics industry and its users".
