Why do I use Easybom?

Easybom provides complete yet concise information about electronic components and parts that you can reach with one click. You can keep in pace with inventory changes and industry trends by subscribing to Easybom.

Where does your electronic component data come from?

All the electronics distributors on Easybom send us data directly. We have direct business relationships with all of the distributors on Easybom.

What is Lifecycle Status?

This data is any and all lifecycle information that we get for a component. This can come from the manufacturer or distributor. This data is normalized to reflect Easybom's commonly used terms.

What is Manufacturer Lifecycle Status?

This data comes from the component manufacturer only. Since the manufacturer is the owner of their product, we believe that this is the more valuable type of lifecycle data. As such, we do not normalize the data, but pass the manufacturer's exact language on to our users without modification.

What is normalized data?

Data that is adjusted to reflect more commonly used terms.

How often is your electronic component data from distributors refreshed?

The data on our website is updated continuously. We receive stock and pricing information from most distributors once a day.

What is Easybom's search syntax?

With Easybom, you can search for parts by keyword, description, part number, manufacturer, and distributor.

How does Easybom decide the order of part search results?

The order of part results when you search on Easybom is organic and is not paid. Our search algorithm considers the data we have on each part as well as how well the query terms match certain part data. This algorithm is designed to return the best possible parts for each search. The order of those parts is not influenced by payment to Easybom.

How does Easybom decide the order of distributors?

The default order of distributors is influenced by a number of factors, such as quantity in stock, the data they provide us, and advertiser rates paid by the distributor.
To be clear, these factors only influence default placement of distributors in the offer table beneath the product. They do not influence the original search result set of returned products (MPNs) as defined in the previous section.

Is the inventory shown on the search page real?

Yes, we will ensure the authenticity of every piece of data. The data on our website is constantly updated. We receive inventory and pricing from most suppliers once a day.

Why is the quantity in stock on Easybom different from a distributor's website?

We receive data files from distributors on a daily basis so usually the quantity in stock will closely reflect the distributor's stock. If there seems to be a major discrepancy, please let us know and we'll look into it.

I can't find a part on Easybom, what should I do?

If you know a distributor who stocks the part but is not on our list of distributors, please recommend Easybom and suggest that they list their inventory with us. If you find that a distributor on our list has the part in stock but it's not showing up on Easybom, please contact us.
