SupplyFrame free search widget simplifies search for information about electronic components.

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2007 - SupplyFrame (http://www.supplyframe.com/) announced today the release of the new SupplyFrame GoPart electronic component search engine widget. The free search widget lets design engineers and buyers instantly find the most current available facts about millions of electronic components in real-time, from their desktops. The free search widget is available at http://www.supplyframe.com/gopart/ and can be easily installed by the user onto their desktop.

SupplyFrame GoPart is an extension of the company's one-of-a-kind electronic component search engine, which offers exclusive up-to-date pricing, availability, sources, trends, and electronic component cross reference data. The SupplyFrame search engine enables the fastest possible access to detailed component information that design engineers and buyers need. The electronic component search engine also helps them move through design and procurement processes quickly.

"Design engineers and buyers no longer have to use a combination of general search engines, company websites and product catalogs to find what they're looking for," said Steve Flagg, CEO, SupplyFrame. "SupplyFrame GoPart delivers that information to your desktop instantly and makes it easy to get products to production quickly."

SupplyFrame GoPart is a new class of tool that opens an electronic component search engine inside many applications, including EDA, MRP, MS Excel or a browser. SupplyFrame GoPart presents complete, live information, electronic component datasheet, RoHS compliance, volume pricing and lead times as well as electronic component cross reference.

Avnet Electronics Marketing has partnered with SupplyFrame to attach the content of its own electronic component database to SupplyFrame GoPart. The Avnet database includes pricing and lead time for a broad range of electronic components. Under the agreement, Avnet will be the exclusive launch partner for the SupplyFrame GoPart widget in the North American market.

"This service will add value to our customers' design process in a very simple and effective way. With the GoPart service, they can find electronic component information in seconds, right on their desktop, while operating inside their design tools, and then linking to the Avnet shopping cart on the http://www.em.avnet.com/ Web site to buy. This gives engineers great savings in time over generic searches on Web," says Glenn Bassett, vice president of strategic business development for Avnet Electronics Marketing. "In the current environment where getting product to market quickly is crucial, this will truly give our customers the edge."

"Avnet understands the importance of delivering information and education to design engineers and manufacturers so they can build great products," said Flagg. "We created SupplyFrame to give decision makers the facts they need quickly and without a sales agenda - not a page full of web links or sales pitches. The SupplyFrame GoPart widget compliments both companies' philosophies and we are pleased to be working with Avnet."

SupplyFrame GoPart electronic component search engine widget is available both through SupplyFrame http://www.supplyframe.com/gopart/ and Avnet Electronics Marketing www.em.avnet.com.
