Findchips
Findchips is an online search engine for electronic components that provides buyers access to inventory and pricing to purchase parts from distributors and manufacturers.[1] The website is free for all users and attracts more than 700,000 global buyers each month. Findchips.com is a part of Supplyframe, Inc., which is headquartered in Pasadena, CA. Supplyframe, Inc. was acquired by Siemens in 2021.[2] Findchips.com is focused on providing procurement professionals with an easy-to-use interface with all of the information needed to simplify the sourcing process and make a purchase.[3][4][5][6][7]
History
Findchips.com was acquired by Supplyframe, Inc. in 2010 to round out Supplyframe's extensive online media and advertising products.[8] The website was originally created by Randy Sargent, who became a scientist at NASA. Randy was tired of spending too much time searching for components one by one across vendors’ websites, so he wrote a Perl script to do the searching for him. Randy's script then morphed into a system where a copy of the vendor's stock database would be uploaded to Findchips.com, which allowed for a faster return of part data than the vendors themselves could offer.[9]
