Hi Everyone, We are in the process of bettering our part numbering system. I was wanting to know how everyone out there handles their numbering and description fields. Example: part number CRCW0805102JRT1 would equal - 0805, 1Kohm, 5%, paper tape. I believe the manufacturers number should be used for the part number, but how do we describe this so that anyone can find this part if they are needing a 0805, 1K, 5% resistor? Just wanting to see how everyone does this with any of their parts. Do you use the manufactures part number or create your own? How do you describe you part for ease of retrieval? Any response would be greatly appreciated!
