DENVER, December 3, 2001 - IHS today announced that it has teamed up with PartMiner to offer an electronics decision support tool for the electronics marketplace. CAPS Expert www.ihs.com/capsexpert is the world's most comprehensive database of electronic components and parts and available for annual subscription. With more than 15 million parts and components accessible in one resource, CAPS Expert reduces search time and materials costs, minimizes redesign and increases the process efficiencies essential for demanding design engineering, production and Maintenance Repair Operations (MRO) environments.

"CAPS Expert is a unique, cost-effective source for electronics design, purchasing, maintenance and repair professionals," said Randy Weil, executive vice president, Sales, Marketing and IHS/Global at IHS. "Because millions of hard-to-find components and parts are housed in a one-stop shop, CAPS Expert allows electronics professionals more time to design and produce high-quality products instead of just searching for components."

The CAPS Expert database includes components such as semiconductors, passives, connectors and electromechanicals, and Mil-Spec cylindrical connectors. It aids the process of selecting components and suppliers from product development throughout the entire product life cycle. It can be used to make component and supplier selection, manage obsolete parts and reference real-time product availability information. Users are able to compare product information side by side from component manufacturers and select parts based on fit, form and function.
