Key Steps for Successful Electronic Component Selection Created by Mertel Hasanov
1. Define your Requirements To define your requirements you’ll consider what your product does, its users, the environment it will be in, and how this particular component needs to function in order to help it achieve its goals among others. Each part’s cost, specifications, etc, must be noted now, too.
2. Select the Key Components Key components are those that the product relies upon to function correctly. For electronics, it might be a display, type of chip, enclosure, etc. Without these, you are in trouble so they must be noted and considered with care.
3. Analyze the Operating Environment/s Note your product’s intended operating environments. Components that can handle the environment without failing are crucial, otherwise, the product will be unreliable.
4. Identify Critical Parameters per component Your requirements will demand that components that work in a specific range must be sourced, therefore you need to work on the range of parameters you need for each part
5. Source the Components Sourcing components directly from component manufacturers is usually the best option in terms of cost and reliability of supply. You should always obtain the datasheets and check the specifications against your requirements.
6. Analyze costs Purchasing components at the right cost impacts the sale price of the product. If you buy in large quantities prices will be far lower, so it’s better to find a supplier who can supply your required quantity at a reasonable price.
7. Design Reviews Not long before production starts you will have done a lot of testing on components and prototypes and will be close to satisfied that it looks and works correctly, reaching your goals and expectations.
8. Pilot Run Before starting mass production it’s the last chance to check that the components you have selected can be used to manufacture the products at scale. For this, use the components that you have, by now, tested and validated in a short pilot run using the same line, staff, equipment, processes, etc, as will be used in mass production.
