DigiKey Electronics Search
Public Made by Adomby adom
DigiKey component search in your workspace — millions of parts with real-time stock, quantity pricing and datasheets. CLI verbs, a Hydrogen app, and a shared backend service.
DigiKey Electronics Search
DigiKey's catalog — millions of parts, real-time stock and quantity pricing — one command away.

adom-digikey is the single-vendor DigiKey tool for the Adom ecosystem — one Rust binary, three
faces:
- CLI —
adom-digikey search | part | healthfor quick JSON-returning shell use and BOMs. - Hydrogen app —
adom-digikey appopens a searchable UI as a first-class Hydrogen tab. - Backend service —
adom-digikey serveruns the shared proxy (port 8777) that powers theservice-digikeycontainer and feedsadom-parts-search.
It replaces the old service-digikey + MCP setup: no MCP server.
adom-wiki pkg install adom-digikey
adom-digikey search "BME280"
Real-time stock, straight to the bench
DigiKey shines when you need it today. Every card shows live stock, qty-1 price and the full break ladder, lead time, RoHS and lifecycle — and DigiKey's deep catalog means the obscure sensor or alt part is usually right there.

Find the exact part, and its alternates
Search a function (buck regulator 1A SOT-23) or a precise MPN. DigiKey's parametric data lets the
cards surface the specs that actually drive a decision — Iq, Iout, Vin range, package — so the
substitute is one glance away when the first choice is out.

Scriptable from the first keystroke
search returns JSON; part fetches one MPN; health checks the backend's OAuth token. Pipe it
into jq, a BOM, or another Claude step.

adom-digikey search "TPS62840DLCR" | jq '.components[0]'
adom-digikey part "296-TPS62840DLCRCT-ND"

The backend manages the DigiKey OAuth handshake and token refresh for you; the CLI auto-detects it
(or a local :8777). DigiKey is the go-to alternate when Mouser is out of stock or long-lead —
see how adom-parts-search flips the recommendation automatically.

Open source — make it yours, then give it back
This app is open source under the MIT license. Fork it, rewrite it, rename it, bend it to your own workflow — and when you've made it better, send your changes back to the Adom Wiki so the whole community benefits. Every wiki page is a git repo with a package registry on top, so contributing back is first-class — improvements that land here ship to every Adom user who installs the app.
adom-wiki pkg install adom-digikey # install it
# …edit the source to taste…
adom-wiki pkg publish # publish your own fork, or
# open a pull request against this page so the change lands for everyone
One caveat — the search backend is an Adom service. The actual lookups run against Adom's hosted DigiKey backend (
service-digikey), which uses Adom's vendor API credentials and counts against Adom's quota. That hosted backend is an Adom service and is subject to change — rate limits, endpoints, and availability can move at any time. Everything client-side (the CLI, the webview, the rendering and recommendation logic) is yours to fork and republish; the cloud API quota is not.

# DigiKey Electronics Search
**DigiKey's catalog — millions of parts, real-time stock and quantity pricing — one command away.**

`adom-digikey` is the single-vendor DigiKey tool for the Adom ecosystem — one Rust binary, three
faces:
- **CLI** — `adom-digikey search | part | health` for quick JSON-returning shell use and BOMs.
- **Hydrogen app** — `adom-digikey app` opens a searchable UI as a first-class Hydrogen tab.
- **Backend service** — `adom-digikey serve` runs the shared proxy (port 8777) that powers the
`service-digikey` container and feeds [`adom-parts-search`](/adom/adom-parts-search).
It replaces the old `service-digikey` + MCP setup: no MCP server.
```bash
adom-wiki pkg install adom-digikey
adom-digikey search "BME280"
```
## Real-time stock, straight to the bench
DigiKey shines when you need it *today*. Every card shows live stock, qty-1 price and the full
break ladder, lead time, RoHS and lifecycle — and DigiKey's deep catalog means the obscure sensor
or alt part is usually right there.

## Find the exact part, and its alternates
Search a function (`buck regulator 1A SOT-23`) or a precise MPN. DigiKey's parametric data lets the
cards surface the specs that actually drive a decision — Iq, Iout, Vin range, package — so the
substitute is one glance away when the first choice is out.

## Scriptable from the first keystroke
`search` returns JSON; `part` fetches one MPN; `health` checks the backend's OAuth token. Pipe it
into `jq`, a BOM, or another Claude step.

```bash
adom-digikey search "TPS62840DLCR" | jq '.components[0]'
adom-digikey part "296-TPS62840DLCRCT-ND"
adom-digikey health
```
## Install
