- Datasheets
- Lifecycle Status
- Pricing and availability from 121 stocking distributors
- Lead times
- Minimum order quantities
- RoHS statements
- Conflict mineral statements
- Technical specs
- Images
- Descriptions
- Categories
- Manufacturer product detail links
- Free sample links
- Eval kit links

To start using the Octopart API for BOM matching and parametric search applications check out our well-documented tutorials:
We're already using API V3 ourselves to power part search on Octopart.com so we recommend that you start migrating to V3 as well. To give you time to migrate we'll keep V2 around until March 15th, 2014.
