Mouser Electronics Parts Search & Analysis
Related Skills
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
kicad |
Schematic analysis — extracts MPNs for part lookup |
bom |
BOM management — orchestrates sourcing across distributors |
digikey |
Primary prototype source (prefer for datasheets — direct PDF links) |
spice |
Uses Mouser parametric data for behavioral SPICE models |
Mouser is the secondary source for prototype orders — use when DigiKey is out of stock or has worse pricing. For production orders, see lcsc/jlcpcb. For BOM management and export workflows, see bom. For datasheets, prefer DigiKey's API (direct PDF links) — Mouser blocks automated PDF downloads.
API Credential Setup
Mouser uses simple API key authentication — no OAuth, no tokens, no callback URLs. The Search API key is a UUID passed as a query parameter.

jlcpcb
JLCPCB PCB fabrication and assembly — BOM/CPL generation, basic vs extended parts, assembly constraints, design rules, ordering workflow. Use with KiCad for JLCPCB manufacturing. Use this skill when the user mentions JLCPCB, wants to order PCBs or assembled boards, needs prototype bare PCBs and stencils, wants to know JLCPCB design rules and capabilities, or is asking about PCB manufacturing costs or turnaround times. For gerber/CPL export, stencil ordering, and BOM management, see the `bom` skill.

117bom
BOM (Bill of Materials) management for electronics projects — the primary orchestrator skill that coordinates DigiKey, Mouser, LCSC, element14, JLCPCB, PCBWay, and KiCad skills into a unified workflow. Create, update, and maintain BOMs with part numbers, costs, quantities stored as KiCad symbol properties. ALWAYS trigger this skill for any task involving component sourcing, pricing, ordering, distributor searches, BOM export, or fabrication preparation — even if the user names a specific distributor or fab house (e.g. "search DigiKey for...", "generate JLCPCB BOM", "order from Mouser"). This skill decides which distributor/fab skills to invoke and in what order. Also trigger on phrases like "what parts do I need", "order components", "how much will this cost", "export for JLCPCB", "find parts for this board", "cost estimate", "compare pricing", or "check stock".
93lcsc
Search LCSC Electronics for electronic components — find parts by LCSC number (Cxxxxx) or MPN, check stock/pricing, download datasheets, analyze specifications. Sister company to JLCPCB, same parts library. Sync and maintain a local datasheets directory for a KiCad project, or use batch MPN-list seeding (`--mpn-list`) for bulk workflows without a project. No API key needed — uses the free jlcsearch community API. Use this skill when the user mentions LCSC, JLCPCB parts library, JLCPCB assembly parts, production sourcing, Cxxxxx part numbers, needs to find LCSC equivalents for parts, is preparing a BOM for JLCPCB assembly, or wants to download datasheets and LCSC is available. For package cross-reference tables and BOM workflow, see the `bom` skill.

73pcbway
PCBWay PCB fabrication and assembly — turnkey/consigned assembly, design rules, ordering workflow. Alternative to JLCPCB for manufacturing. Use with KiCad. Use this skill when the user mentions PCBWay, needs turnkey assembly (PCBWay sources parts by MPN), has parts not available on LCSC, needs assembled boards with non-LCSC components, wants to compare PCBWay vs JLCPCB, or needs assembly with parts sourced globally rather than from LCSC only. For gerber/CPL export, stencil ordering, and BOM management, see the `bom` skill.
