- automated and fast to the perfect BOM

In this window we present you with a proposal for a suitable component from our stock (beta stock). If we cannot immediately display a result for you in “Component details“, the “Find component“ section appears (see 4.).

On the left under “Suggested component“ important technical values, a component description and prices are shown.

In the “Placement“ area you can choose whether you want to provide the component yourself. You can also determine which components get placed.

Component search optimization
Changed spellings and observing correct names can lead to better search results. Read more about this in “How do I optimize the component search?“ In Section 9, FAQ.

"Component selection" window

Confirm with “Accept & Continue“.

Should you unfortunately not receive any result, you will have to provide the necessary components.This is possible in the section “Provide component“.

Search form

When using the MAGIC-BOM, a suggestion is made for the components that we have in stock, which you can accept with "Accept & Continue".

However, components may not be found or you may want to provide another component.

If no suitable component is found from our inventory, two fields appear automatically: "Find component" and "Advanced component search" in the "Component details" window.

The window can also be called up via "Choose another component" if you have received a suggestion from us but prefer another component.

No results found

The designation assigned to the component, which we take from your layout, is automatically inserted into the two fields "Package" and "Value". If you click on "Find component", the "Select Component to add" window opens. At the top is the "Suggested component MAGIC-BOM", highlighted by a yellow bar. This is the component suggested from our stock.

MPN and SKU number

MPN is short for Manufacturer Part Number. It is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to identify individual products. Typically, a product's MPN number consists of a series of numbers and letters.

Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) means something like storage unit. The SKU number is therefore a number that is assigned to a product in order to identify the price, the product options and the manufacturer of the goods. A SKU number is not universal but may differ from provider to provider, since providers such as suppliers assign their own SKU numbers to manage their inventory. In the example, this number is e. g. called Digi-Key Part Number.

 SKU number and MPN number

In the example opposite, the MPN number is: SN74HCT245PWR and the SKU number: 296-8404-1-ND.

A possible description, if the numbers are not known, could e. g. for this component be "IC NON-INVERT 5.5V 20TSSOP".  

Tray

You have selected the option "The components will be provided by me".

Under "Comments" in the "Component details" window, you can provide us with important information about the components you have provided.

If you provide your components yourself, pay attention to the type of packaging, availability and delivery time when selecting your components. We can only start with the actual assembly when all the necessary components are available.

You can often find the relevant packaging information from the various distributors. If this is not the case, you should definitely check this with your distributor before ordering.

- The components should be delivered in a machine-compatible production packaging, such as rod, tray, roll or reel.
Components that are not delivered in machine-appropriate production packaging cannot be assembled by us or in individual cases have to be repacked or assembled by hand for an additional fee (calculation according to the time required).

- For plugs, sockets and pin connectors, a placement aid / cap is absolutely necessary, so that they can be equipped by our automatic placement machines.

- Provide reeled goods as a contiguous section and avoid “multiple snippets”. In addition, a feed (> 24 mm) is necessary so that the straps on the machine can be setup.

Cap as a placement aid

- If you provide components, ensure that they have been properly stored. For older components where this has not been the case, this can lead to problems with the soldering joints. The components you provide must be delivered in a dry condition (see IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D; IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033B.1).

- The assignment of provided components works on the basis of the BOM you provided, so please label the components with the appropriate name from the "References", "Package" and "Value" fields in the "Component information" section of the "Component details" field (e. g: C5, C7, C8, C10, C11), C / CO805 / 100nF).
