RS Components has launched RS Partsfinder, a simple, free browser plug-in that enables instant access to the searchable RS database of over 500 000 products from any web page.
Users simply highlight a keyword, stock number or manufacturer’s part number and then right-click their mouse to access the RS database without the need to copy and paste or manually open other websites. Partsfinder then makes it easy to compare prices, check stock and review component specifications.
RS Partsfinder is available to engineers and buyers, and can be installed with one click at www.rsonline.co.za/partsfinder, where one-minute video demonstrations of the tool are also available. Installation does not require any additional software and the tool can be uninstalled if necessary through the standard browser menus. There are versions of Partsfinder for Internet Explorer 8.0 and above, and Firefox 3.5 and above.
