Mapping Digi-Key Property Names

PartQuest Portal Subscription: Essential tier

The PartQuest Portal application enables you to map Digi-Key property names to property names that you define, or to property names that match your local libraries and component information system.

For more information on relating Digi-Key properties to the properties of your local libraries and component information system, search for “EDX package” and “PartQuest” in your data management tool’s online help and documentation.

Tip

Properties appear as characteristics in the EDX package file (.edx).
