Component Selection in Altium Designer: Making Data-Driven Decisions with Data Integrations

 

Reduce Design Risks with Data-Driven Component Selection

Don’t select parts today which will lead to unexpected and costly redesigns! With 80% of designs requiring component replacements* and each board respin costing up to $46,000**, outdated component selection methods are engineering's silent productivity killer. Join our live webinar to see how Altium Designer's data integrations provide critical lifecycle, compliance, and availability insights that prevent expensive redesigns and keep your products on schedule.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Eliminate Costly Redesigns: Learn how outdated selection methods lead to delays and expensive revisions.
  • Seamless Data Integrations: Discover integrated data sources like Octopart, IHS Markit, SiliconExpert, and Z2Data for better decisions.
  • Data Provider Comparison: Evaluate different providers to find the best fit for your component selection needs.
  • Live Demonstration: See Altium Designer with data integrations in action, optimizing component selection and mitigating lifecycle risks.

Who Should Attend?

Hardware Engineers & PCB Designers: Manage electronic BOMs and select reliable components.
Engineering Leaders: Reduce inefficiencies and ensure data-driven decision-making in product development.

Co-Host: 

Jackie Sartin, Manager, Business Development, The Americas, Silicon Expert
