Farnell TechCast online technical training service

Farnell has launched an online technical training service. Known as TechCast, it is in recognition of the increasing complexity of electronic solutions.

It provides assistance and answers to users seeking to understand the latest technology and obtain guidance in selecting the most appropriate components for their designs.

Modules provide detailed information about a wide and diverse range of electronics technologies in a single, easy-to-use location. Training modules are adopted from suppliers and placed in standard format to ease familiarity.

Constantly added to, the library currently contains over 100 modules from 31 suppliers. Companies such as Cree, Freescale, Molex and Murata Power are all featured, providing information on devices and products ranging from FPGAs and microprocessors, to LEDs, connectors and front-end power supplies.

An alphabetical search feature helps to speed up locating a module and users can select either narrated or silent formats. Adjacent to each training module indexed in the library is a parts list button that provides direct access to full technical and buying details for products referred to, or relevant to, that specific module.

Users can purchase products for same-day despatch across Australia and New Zealand with no minimum order sizes.
