 The new Mouser Enhanced Catalog is the next generation of convenience in catalog shopping. The online catalog is available from the "dog ear" in the right corner of the Mouser homepage. After a quick download of Microsoft's Silverlight, you can search for products by partial keywords, part number (Mouser or supplier), supplier name, or product categories. You can easily add parts to your online cart without ever leaving the catalog. The catalog remembers the last 20 catalog page views and allows you to bookmark up to 100 pages. Nothing could be easier!

| Catalog Page Viewer
The Catalog Page Viewer is located in the center of the page. The viewing area displays a catalog page that has been selected from the Control Panel area to the left. At the top of the area, the catalog page number is displayed, as well as scrolling arrows to the left and right to view adjacent catalog pages, and a Zoom button to determine the magnification desired. A sample page is shown below. 
The catalog page is displayed in the large center area. Mouser part numbers are highlighted and linked to a pop-up with product details (image, specifications, and purchasing information) and a "Buy" button if you desire to add the part to your cart. If multiple part numbers are found, a message will appear to ask if you would like to close the catalog viewer and go directly to Mouser.com to search for the part. Closing the Product Detail pop-up will re-enable the Catalog Viewer. |
