Zenode's Part Catalog

The breadth of distributor data combined with the depth of manufacturer data.

TL;DR

  • Over 40M pre-merged parts in our database, combined from major distributors and manufacturers

  • "Modern" Parametric Specifications (Now more than just strings! 🤯)

  • More documentation than just datasheets, including app notes, material sheets, certifications, change notices, and more

A Brief History of Component Catalogs

The electronic component catalog has been around since the 1940s. It started as a thick, physical magazine shipped to engineering firms as a reference book of orderable parts. When catalogs moved online, not much changed: they remained long lists of parts, hosted mainly by distributors, just slightly easier to filter through.

That approach works for placing orders, but it’s a total slog for designers looking to find out what exists. In this new era of AI, we decided to build the most complete and detailed information set spanning as many parts and documents as possible. That’s the foundation of Zenode, and after 2 years of working on it, we’re far from finished, but we are confident that we have the most robust and detailed catalog on the market today.

What Makes Zenode Different

1. Merging Data Across the Industry

We combine not just distributor listings but also documentation directly from dozens of manufacturers. Over half our parts already have manufacturer-sourced data, and that coverage grows every month.

2. Deduplication and Normalization

Zenode dedupes all that part data across MPNs, manufacturers, categories, and specs while normalizing parameters into a consistent structure. That powers clean, usable parametric filters and accurate comparisons.

So if you enjoy clicking through a dozen identical ‘5V’ options hidden in string fields, stick with the old catalogs. If not, welcome to Zenode! 😇

3. Beyond the Basics

Datasheets are just the start. Zenode pulls in application notes, safety and material sheets, certifications, compliance docs, and product change notices. If it’s an official manufacturer document and publicly available, we’re working to capture it.

4. We have (some) Pricing data

We currently only have 'stale' pricing data on parts, which is okay for design, not so much for purchasing. We’re looking to work with partners to improve this, but in the meantime we do offer links to many distributor catalogs, so users can check the most available pricing for themselves.

Zenode Catalog Overview
The biggest and most robust ever!
How many parts does Zenode currently have?
As of September 2025, Zenode includes over 40 million parts — making it the largest, deepest electronics catalog ever built.
Where does Zenode’s data come from?
We merge information from multiple distributors and dozens of manufacturers. That means not just part listings, but also official manufacturer documentation like datasheets, application notes, certifications, and change notices.
How is Zenode different from other catalogs?
Traditional catalogs were built for purchasing. Zenode is built for designing. We focus on complete technical context, with normalized specs, deduplicated parts, and a wide range of supporting documents.
Does Zenode have pricing and availability?
Yes — we include pricing data today. Availability coverage is more limited, and we’re actively working with partners to improve it. Each part page also links out to distributor sites for the most current commercial details.
What’s the end goal of Zenode’s catalog?
To become the most comprehensive and accurate resource for electronic component discovery. Our mission is to help engineers design faster and with more confidence — and we’re expanding our coverage every month.
