Manufacturers
of Components organised in the Electronic Components Division within
the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers Association
(ZVEI) and other partners are driving the introduction of Umbrella
Specs approximately since fall 2001. After manifold activities we
are now presenting first examples of Umbrella Specs in the internet
as typical values. Although we have not completed the harmonization
of the form and of the technical terms for describing all products
we took the decision to go public now for many reasons:
- With regard to the competitiveness of our members
we have to save time and money when we answer our customers'
material inquiries.
- We want to promote the described method of using
Umbrella Specs as de facto standard in electronics' industry.
- We are strongly interested in the feedback of our
partners for getting support and innovative ideas.
- We want to push the introduction of Umbrella Specs.
We invite you to use our method of Umbrella Specs for
retrieving material data of our products, preferred and frequently -
if needed.
The criteria for product families are
described in the "Guideline and Forms, Version 2.1".
If you start your inquiry: Please first
check to which Umbrella Specification a product belongs - by part
number or sales description. This information should be provided by
the supplier of Components via a CrossReferenceFile on the
individual company-homepage or upon request.
It's our goal to offer as many Umbrella Specs in the
public internet as needed in order to describe the material data of
the majority of Components. There will be only a minority of special
products which cannot be described with Umbrella Specs. In these
cases please contact the companies directly.
In spite of our best
diligence we assume no liability for the contents
