Welcome to Octopart’s Specs View

Did you know that Octopart has more than one search results view? Specs View makes it easy to compare specifications across multiple parts. Prices View, the mostly commonly used view, allows you to see each part result with a list of distributors who sell that part. While both views have their benefits, Specs View provides more comprehensive results. See Figure 1.

Figure 1 – Navigate to Specs View by clicking on the Part Specifications tab

From here you can apply any number of the simplified parametric filters (shown at the top of the page), or the more granular filters in the table header. You can also sort values by clicking the ascending or descending options at the top of the page. This functionality works just as you would expect from your favorite distributors, but it gives you a complete view of the entire supply chain.

If you want to apply more granular filters to your search resutls, you can use the small circular button at the top of the table. This brings up a small dialog where you can select or exclude different options for filtering. You can also narrow down by ranges in in the case of numeric values, such as voltage or frequency.
