Building a Project

Log in to your "My Mouser" account and then use of the search methods listed below to add the parts and quantities you want to save in your project.

Once you locate the product you want, click on the part number. This will take you to the Product Detail Page where you will see a section called "My Mouser Project Manager" in the lower right corner.

Enter the quantity you want to add to your project. Select a project name from the drop down menu or select <NEW PROJECT> to create a new project. Then click the "Add to Project" button.

You can also use the Price and Availability Assistant and the BOM Import Tool to add parts to your project.

Once you enter all the part numbers, select a project name from the drop down menu or select <NEW PROJECT> to create a new project. Click on either the "Import BOM" or "Add" button, depending on the application.

You can also add items in your shopping cart to an existing project or create a new project. Name your project by entering a name in the box provided at the top of your cart and click on the "Save" button. Once your project is saved, you will be taken to the Project Manager so you can add additional parts to your project. To order the project, click the "Order Project" button.

Combining Multiple Projects

Log in. Select the "View Cart" option at the top of the homepage to ensure you do not have parts in your shopping cart that you do not want added to this order. (Clear your shopping cart, if necessary, or save these items as a new project or cart.) Now click on the "Project Manager" link under the Services & Tools menu..

Click on the "Edit" link next to one of the projects that you wish to combine. In the bottom right-hand corner under the merchandise total, click on the "Order Project" button. This will add the parts to your cart.

Then go into the next project following the same steps, which will add each project to your cart adding together any quantities for any duplicate products.

Once you have all of the projects in your shopping cart that you wish to combine, save your shopping cart as a new project.

Editing a Project

To view or edit projects, you must be logged in to your "My Mouser" account. Click on the Project Manager link. Then click on the Edit link next to the project name that you want to edit.

  • To Change Quantities - Type in your revised number in the "Order Qty." box and click the "Update Project" button.
  • To Remove Parts - Click the check box located next to each part number you want to delete. Then click the "Update Project" button. Or change the quantity to zero for the part you want to delete and click the "Update Project" button.
  • To Add Parts - Use the same process you used when creating your project. Refer to the "Building a Project" section above.

Ordering a Project

Log in. Select the "View Cart" option at the top of the homepage to ensure you do not have parts in your shopping cart that you do not want added to this order. (Clear your shopping cart, if necessary, or save these items as new project or cart.) Click on the "Project Manager" under the Services & Tools menu.

Click on the "Edit" link next to the project that you want to order, then click on the "Order Project" button (located at the top and bottom right of the project list). This will add the parts to your cart and you can then proceed to check out.

You can also order multiple projects on the same order. Simply go into each project that you would like to order and click on the "Order Project" button within each project. If there are any duplicate parts on the projects the quantities will be combined.

TIP: When building your project, enter the quantities it takes to build one unit. Then, if you want to buy enough to build 5 units, change the quantity in the box next to the "Order Project" button from 1 to 5. Click on the "Order Project" button and it will multiply all of the quantities in your project by 5 and add them to your cart.

Sharing a Project

Click on the "Project Manager" link under the Services & Tools menu.

Click on the "Share Project" link, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

If you share a project with your colleagues, you will have the option to either send them a read-only copy that they will be able to view and order from our website, or you can send them an editable copy so that you can work together on updating and creating the project.

If you send your colleague an editable copy you will be able to see all of their changes from you Project Manager and you will have the ability to accept or deny any changes that they have made.

If you would like to share your project with a group, a web address is created that you can post or send to anyone that you would like. This works for both editable projects and read-only projects.
