Component Engineering

Stilwell Baker’s component engineering service is a critical link between design and procurement. We select the right component to meet the electrical requirements of a circuit while assuring that the component is and will be available.

The rapid rate of component obsolescence, made worse by Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and other environmental legislation, seriously complicates project lifecycle management (PLM) efforts. Pushing this problem back to the designer is inefficient and steals valuable design time away from new product development.

Features

-RoHS
- Availability
-Cost

Develop and maintain a standard component list
Perform component research to ensure:
- Form
- Fit
