Introduction
AI-powered search for electronic components, intelligent discovery, alternates, and APIs—grounded in datasheets and a catalog of 25M+ parts.
Zenode helps you discover smarter and design faster: describe what you need in plain language, dig into any MPN with source-linked answers, find drop-in alternates, or integrate the same intelligence through a REST API.
Why Zenode
Find parts by description
Don't know the exact part number? Describe what you need and let AI search the catalog.
Ask about specific parts
Get datasheet-grounded answers about any component in the catalog.
Compare and analyze
Search results with extracted specs, charts, and objective comparison across candidates.
Cross references
Enter a prime part and get AI-evaluated alternates scored across multiple dimensions—with side-by-side comparison.
Who Zenode is for
- Hardware engineers who want faster search and datasheet-grounded reasoning
- Teams building boards or BOMs who need alternates without spreadsheet archaeology
- Anyone building datasets or internal tools who wants API access to the same catalog intelligence

Answers emphasize real datasheet and catalog data—not generic web blurbs—across 25M+ components.
Key capabilities
AI-powered catalog search
Industry-leading parametric filters plus natural-language queries across a massive component database.
Deep Agent sessions
Open-ended research with traceability to the documents Zenode used for each claim.
Alternate discovery
Functional, electrical, pinout, package, price, availability, and lifecycle signals—presented in one view.
Developer API
Embed search, cross-references, and live pricing into scripts, portals, or automation.
Under the hood
- Component graph & specs — Structured parameters and relationships across manufacturers and categories
- Document retrieval — Datasheets and technical PDFs used to ground answers and comparisons
- Continuous catalog updates — Pricing and availability refreshed for decision-ready results
