Contributing

Thanks for helping improve TrustCompo Open Hardware Cross Reference.

This project is intended for hardware engineers, component engineers, and sourcing teams who need a practical first-pass view of lifecycle-affected parts and possible replacement candidates.

Useful Contributions

  • correct an inaccurate cross-reference or fit score
  • add a missing replacement candidate with evidence
  • clarify parameter, package, pinout, or lifecycle differences
  • improve validation notes for a part page
  • report broken links or stale source references

Evidence Expectations

When proposing a correction, please include enough public evidence for another engineer to review the claim:

  • original manufacturer part number
  • candidate manufacturer part number
  • manufacturer and package
  • relevant datasheet or manufacturer page
  • affected parameter or lifecycle field
  • reason the current page is wrong, incomplete, or ambiguous

Avoid submitting blanket equivalence claims without validation context. A candidate can be useful in a shortlist even when it is not a drop-in replacement, as long as the limits are clearly stated.

Review Boundary

Published pages are not approval documents. Changes should help engineers start review work faster while preserving clear warnings about remaining validation steps.
