Newark has developed an interactive online tool at that allows engineers to source the right connector by comparing images or by selecting a specific application or type.

The tool was developed in response to customer requests to find a specific connector when exact specifications were not available, and gives customers access to the company’s stock of over 163,000 connectors and 96 brands.

"It can be frustrating to find the right connector if you don't have a manufacturer's part number," comments Barry Litwin, of Newark. "Design engineers can now narrow their search by application or type, while maintenance customers can visually compare the connector… with an image [of the part]."
