Who it is for
Hardware engineers and purchasing staff sourcing components and checking who has stock at what price.
Octopart Component Finder
Search electronic components and distributor pricing
Overview
What Octopart Component Finder does
Octopart Component Finder is a parts search for electronics work. A query can be a manufacturer part number when the exact component is known, or a specification when it is not: the sample asks for a 32.768 kHz surface mount crystal with 12.5 pF load capacitance.
Results compare what distributors charge and how much stock each is holding. Pricing and availability are broken out by region, which matters when a part is plentiful in one market and scarce in another.
Everything renders in a widget inside the chat. The app is published by a consulting firm rather than by Octopart itself, and it covers search and comparison rather than ordering.
What stands out
Regional breakdown of price and availability is part of the result, which is the detail that decides sourcing on a real build.

Where Octopart Component Finder is listed
Octopart Component Finder is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. NBSE Consulting, Inc has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
