IHS Fasteners eCatalog™ Parts Search Capabilities
Find Standard Fasteners Quickly and Easily with the IHS Fasteners eCatalog
Through the part and parametric searches in the IHS Fasteners eCatalog, research time can be significantly reduced through single-point access to standard fastener parts and the ability to compare parts side-by-side.
Parametric Search
Within each category, every item can be searched parametrically, independent of source document or part number. The parametric search in the IHS Fasteners eCatalog is designed to accommodate the dynamic nature of part selection so that attributes can easily be selected and removed, and continuous manipulation of the search results set yields the exact part you’re looking for.
Side-by-Side Comparison
Part numbers can be compared side-by-side with other part numbers in the results set. Differences are highlighted for quick reference so that you have the highest confidence in the parts that you specify.
Part Number Search
Searches can be initiated by any piece of a part number. The IHS Fasteners eCatalog utilizes an implied “starts with” and “truncation” algorithm to significantly increase the validation of a single part. It can be used to intelligently navigate to the end discrete item, even when you may be starting from just a generic or base part number.
Text Search
Description and attribute values can also be searched textually, accommodating those searches that need to be initiated by an item description such as a Drilled Hexagon Head Alloy Steel Bolt.
