Find Real Component (MPN + buy link)
embedcalc_find_componentSearch for in-stock electronic components by type and electrical value, returning manufacturer part numbers and direct buy links. Filters include tolerance, power, voltage, current, and more.
Instructions
Find real, in-stock components matching an electrical value via parametric distributor search — returns manufacturer part numbers and buy links ONLY (no price or stock data, by design).
Args:
type: resistor | capacitor | inductor | ldo | mosfet | bjt.
value (number): resistor: resistance in ohms; capacitor: capacitance in farads (e.g. 1e-7 = 100 nF); inductor: inductance in henries (e.g. 1e-5 = 10 µH); ldo: fixed output voltage in volts; mosfet: minimum Vds rating in volts (N-channel); bjt: minimum Vce rating in volts (NPN).
Optional filters: tolerance_pct (R/C/L: keep this tolerance or tighter), min_power_w (resistor), min_voltage_v (capacitor rating), min_current_a (ldo/mosfet/bjt), max_rds_on_ohm (mosfet), min_hfe (bjt).
max_results (default 5).
Returns (structured): { matched_value, parts: [{ mpn, manufacturer, description, buy_url }] }. For prices, follow the buy link — pricing is intentionally not returned.
Examples:
"220 ohm 1% resistor" -> type='resistor', value=220, tolerance_pct=1
"100 nF cap rated 16V+" -> type='capacitor', value=1e-7, min_voltage_v=16
"3.3V LDO, 500 mA" -> type='ldo', value=3.3, min_current_a=0.5 Requires internet access (queries embedcalc.com).
