Today we are going over how to find more possible options on the website. The example will be searching for BNC Washers and Nuts.
Perhaps a replacement for a lost washer and nut from a piece of equipment is all that is needed or perhaps a set is needed to go with a product that does not come with them. Either way, we do have solutions
Associated Products
When it comes to products that are associated with each other on the DigiKey website they are manufacturer consistent. We will not associate products from one supplier with products from another.
Because of this there are times that we have a solution even though it is not readily apparent.
Here is a link to our Coaxial Connector (RF) Assemblies section of our website.
The hardware for one of these products will in be in one of two places. The obvious place to look would be in the hardware section with the nuts and the washers.

If a product hasn’t been found, there is still sometimes more places to look. In this case we are looking for nuts and washers. They are used on other products such as switches and sensors. It is worth checking those accessories sections as well.
For example, here are the nuts and washers available in the Switches Accessories section.
These sections usually have a lot of variety regarding the products placed there. That makes it very difficult to come up with filters that we perfect for all of the. This means a lot of the information will be found in the descriptions of the parts and be sure to check the datasheets carefully.
