Dave & Brian, This has been my experience as well. I know some companies make money tracking this kind information; probably well deserved, it's a big job. And it now occurs to me that some of the other paid for services giving RoHS updates may also have current vendor information.
I have an ad hoc ERP that links to a company Part Master csv export with manufacturer and supplier info. I also link part numbers to all of the safety pertinent data like certs, voltage, thermal, etc. So I will continue listing known suppliers in my critical parts lists and add "*or equivalent*" where appropriate. Thanks, Doug On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 12:30 PM, Brian O'Connell <[email protected]> wrote: > Not aware of any ‘centralized’ database, but some vendors (future, avnet, > etc) routinely issue PCNs that cover the major component suppliers.
