DigiKey Cross Reference Tool - Simplify Your Search

For years, engineers and purchasers alike have had to use their precious time searching and comparing features to find an acceptable cross for a part they needed yesterday.

Thankfully, finding a new cross is easier than ever before. DigiKey’s unique cross reference tool simplifies the search for hard-to-find substitute parts by providing a list of parametrically similar options.

Whether you’re looking to find a second source for a crucial piece of your design, just received a new End of Life (EOL) notice, or are revamping an old radio you found in the basement, this tool is here to help.

Simply enter a manufacturer part number, and the cross reference tool will display recommended part options from our extensive database of substitute and replacement parts. Once you’ve logged in to your My DigiKey account, all parameters will become visible for an easy, detailed comparison of listed parts, including a helpful pinout comparison tab where applicable.

Parts returned with a column highlighted in green means that specific parameter is an exact match to the original part, making the format easy to digest and analyze.

To summarize, the cross reference tool allows you to simply: Search. Compare. Replace.
