The Components pull-down menu is one of several method to search for parts. This method enables you to choose a specific component view of parts, or All parts. For example, if the Capacitors view is chosen from the Components list, the result will show the Part Information page for the first capacitor from the Capacitors view in the database. Once a Components view is selected from the list, the parts pull down list will show only parts in the selected view (in this case, capacitors). You will see the part information page consisting of part attribute data in the component form as well as the manufacturer and distributor data.
