Electronic Component scanner

Scan component markings, explore likely parts, and organize your workbench.

Decode hard-to-read component markings and keep your electronics research organized with Electronic Component Scanner.

Photograph an electronic component or circuit-board area, then add context such as the printed part code, package type, and nearby board markings. The app examines visible information and returns a structured report with a likely match, useful characteristics, other possibilities, and suggestions for what to verify next.

Ask follow-up questions from the report to better understand visible codes or package clues. Save useful scans to your Parts Bench and use Component Notes to record identifiers, board references, and observations for later work. The focused workflow helps makers, repair hobbyists, students, and technicians keep visual research together.

Practical component tools:
• Scan with the camera or choose an existing photo
• Add printed codes, package type, and board markings
• Review likely matches and visible clues
• Ask follow-up questions about the result
• Save discoveries to a personal Parts Bench
• Keep structured component notes
• Manage camera and local-data controls

Electronic Component Scanner is a visual reference aid. Do not rely on a photo to determine safe voltage, mains wiring instructions, or pinouts. Confirm all safety-critical details with the manufacturer’s verified datasheet before powering or installing a component.

Turn tiny markings into useful research

Electronic parts can be difficult to identify when codes are abbreviated, surfaces are worn, or several packages look alike. Capture the sharpest photo you can and add the printed part code, package type, or nearby board markings. A straight, well-lit image with readable characters gives the app stronger visual clues and leaves you with a more useful component record.

Reports designed around verification

The result separates a likely match from the visible features that support it. Other possibilities help account for similar markings, and “look for next” suggestions point toward details that may narrow the search, such as a manufacturer logo, package dimensions, board reference designator, or complete code. Ask follow-up questions to understand terminology or investigate a visible clue from the report.

Organize your Parts Bench

Save promising scans to the Parts Bench so component research does not disappear into an unstructured photo library. Component Notes provides dedicated fields for printed codes, package type, board markings, and your own observations. It can support repair logs, maker projects, parts sorting, electronics study, teardown notes, and inventory research.

Practical at the bench

There is no lengthy setup flow. Open the scanner, photograph a component or choose an existing image, add context, and review the result. Focused navigation keeps scanning, saved parts, and structured notes within easy reach. The high-contrast interface is suited to a workbench while keeping detailed reports readable.

Privacy controls inside the app let you review camera access and local collection data. Photos are used to provide the visual analysis you request, while the records you choose to save remain organized as your personal reference.

Electronic Component Scanner is intended for makers, students, repair hobbyists, technicians, recyclers, and anyone sorting unknown parts. It is a research assistant, not a substitute for a verified datasheet or electrical testing. Never infer pinout, safe voltage, polarity, current rating, mains suitability, or installation instructions from a visual suggestion. Check the full part number against authoritative manufacturer documentation before powering, wiring, purchasing, or substituting any component.
