PCC is in an excellent position to help the industry develop standards, as the company has been buying and selling electronic components on the open market since 1984 and now has a database full of information. The company also has developed a number of tools, initially for its own purposes, and now shares these tools with the entire industry.

In this section:

Manufacturer Short-Names
Provides a cross-reference from the short form of the manufacturers name that is used by PCC and other distributors when they advertise product, to the full legal name of the component manufacturer.

Manufacturer Contact Information
This page includes the contact information that we have in our database including website and corporate headquarters as well as merger and acquisition information when available, short names, and logos used.

Manufacturer Logo Identification
A great resource designed to identify the manufacturer of a component by comparing markings on the part or box with the logos that appear on this page.

Part Number Verification Tool
This tool checks the manufacturer's part numbers against the manufacturer's data sheet and reports whether the part number entered is valid and properly formatted. In addition, the tool generates a written description of the part number.

Pricing Tool
Allows you to enter a part number, or a list of part numbers, and provides the franchise pricing that we have in our database. Limitations exist to unregistered guests and guests who are not currently participating in one of PCC's Revenue Sharing Services.

Selling Outsourcing Calculator
Other Independent Distributors can outsource their selling to PCC, which effectively makes them a consignment customer of PCC. This tool is designed to help Independents decide at what point outsourcing their selling to PCC starts to make sense.

Supply and Demand Tool
This tool allows you to enter a list of part numbers and then provides a real-time report with supply and demand information. This tool is available to registered users who are participating in any of PCC's Revenue Sharing Programs.

Glossary of Terms
Thanks to the Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) we are able to publish a list of industry standard terms and definitions in order to help improve communication amongst companies in the industry.
