The Product Center is available in English, Chinese and Japanese. Its centerpiece is the powerful search tool that allows users to easily find any of the over 80,000 products now in the database. The search tool is featured on every page in the Product Center and supports multiple product searches, copy and paste from BOM lists and the use of wildcards.
