Ken,

 I don't know if it helps but I added a lot of functions to the Old Parts &
Vendors database. P&V shut down but I have my take on an app that replaces
it, you can see that at www.partsync.com.

So I have written a lot of code over the years dealing with electronic parts
and I have been watching what's  out on the market for a long time. I am an
EE and I would be delighted to help, questions are free!

But beware, I tell folks "Write down on a piece of paper what you need."
Getting good requirements is always a pain.

Subject: [TN] Preferred Parts List help please

Hi,

We have not yet figured out just how we are going to sort COTS parts by
safety/mission criticality based on rad tolerance and longevity etc. We
don't even have a preferred Parts list so I'm looking for recommendations
for where to start. It's a big question, are there reference lists of COTS
parts available that I can cross check with the parts we are using? Is this
something that only a dedicated/experienced component engineer usually
handles (We don't have one. While I'm a +35 yr experienced layout designer
charged with this high level process I'm not a EE or CE level).

Any advice/insight is much appreciated, thank you
