community, and said element14 supports every stage of the design process, from conception to creation of a prototype.
The element14 store will only be available in the US. Design engineers will be able to buy the components they need, while accessing design tools, conducting research and collaborating with peers.
"The US market is set to enter an exciting period of growth, led by the high tech space, and Premier Farnell is committed to providing electronic design engineers with the products and services they require to remain competitive," said chief executive Harriet Green.
