BOM List Helper for DigiKey – The Ultimate Procurement Assistant

Streamline your electronics procurement and design workflow with BOM List Helper for DigiKey. Designed specifically for engineers, hobbyists, and purchasing agents, this powerful extension transforms how you build Bill of Materials (BOM), turning your browser into a robust project management tool.

Why You Need This Extension
Stop manually copying and pasting part numbers into Excel. With a single click, BOM List Helper captures every critical detail—pricing, real-time stock status, technical attributes, and datasheets—allowing you to focus on your design, not spreadsheet formatting.

Key Features
• One-Click BOM Creation: Instantly add the current product to your active project directly from the DigiKey page. Captures Manufacturer, Description, Unit Price, and Part Numbers automatically.
• Adaptive Dark/Light Mode: Experience seamless visual integration. The extension automatically detects Digikey's active theme (Day or Night mode) and instantly switches its own interface to match your preferred aesthetic.
• Custom Auto-Zoom: Take control of your viewing experience. Define your preferred zoom level (e.g., 90%, 85%) in the settings. The extension checks every product page on load and automatically scales the view to your exact specification for optimal information density.
• Advanced Datasheet Engine: Automatically detects and downloads datasheets using a smart 4-step process (Direct/Scrape/Print-to-PDF). Your Excel export will include direct links to these local PDF files, ensuring you always have the documentation you need, even for "protected" documents.
• Smart Stock Alerts: Never order out-of-stock parts accidentally. The extension features a robust warning system that highlights quantity fields in red text if your requested amount exceeds DigiKey's available inventory—both in the popup list and the Excel export.
• Visual Excel Export: Generate professional, ready-to-share Excel (.xlsx) files with a single click. Unlike standard exports, this tool creates a visual BOM with centered product images, perfectly formatted cells, and auto-calculated totals.
• Multi-Project Support: Working on multiple boards? Create and switch between different projects effortlessly using the built-in menu.
• Privacy First: Your proprietary BOM data is stored 100% locally in your browser. We do not transmit your project data to any cloud servers.

Perfect for
• Electronics Engineers designing PCBs.
• Procurement Specialists organizing component orders.
