ALABEL^© is the electronic component database which contains the most important data of electronic components from the most important manufacturers of the world. This time saving tool for development, sales and buying departments is used in more than 500 companies. Since its introduction in 1996, you cannot imagine the electronic world without ALABEL©. ALABEL© - which was developped from NOVA Elektronik GmbH - was sold in 1999 to the American Hearst Business Communications Inc.

After careful consideration HEARST decided in April, 2001 not to produce the database ALABEL any more. Also a combination with the IC-MASTER is excluded. The producer regrets this decision, and so we do as the "mental parents" of ALABEL. The reason for this cancellation is the very fast-moving development of electronics. So it´s impossible to keep a database for electronical components up to date.
