New Look, Smarter Search: Octopart Enters a New Era of Component Discovery

Octopart is entering a new era of component discovery.

Millions of engineers currently count on Octopart to help find the right parts for their products, accessing component data, datasheets, and CAD models along the way. Their behavior and feedback have shaped our latest updates, helping make part research faster and more efficient.  

Search Built for Engineers

With enhanced descriptive search, Octopart now understands how engineers naturally describe components.

For example, you can search for something like “32b 128kB 16MHz MCU,” and Octopart will interpret the category and specifications.

Octopart’s updated search moves beyond rigid filters and delivers a flexible, intent-driven way to find parts.

Site Refresh

The new Octopart look and feel is designed to reduce clutter and simplify the parts research process. With a refreshed interface and a more streamlined experience, engineers can focus on what matters most: finding viable components or solutions, understanding trade-offs, alternates and progressing with the right information.
