Mentor Maker... PartsQuest parts missing symbols? — 2026 Microcontroller Update
Mentor Maker... PartsQuest parts missing symbols?
I downloaded, installed, and registered the free Mentor Maker design environment today. It took me a while to figure out how to use PartsQuest to select parts and import into Maker Schematic entry. But… I downloaded five parts; one of them, an MMBT3904 transistor, worked fine, with both a symbol and a footprint… another part, BSP225, downloaded with a footprint… but the symbol was just a rectangle. Three other parts, all of them microcontrollers from Silicon Labs, gave me NO symbol or footprint… just a rectangle. Obviously, this design environment would be relatively useless without both t

Typical Application Scenarios
IoT edge nodes, motor control, home appliance, industrial PLC, wearable devices
- Design-In Support: BOM cross-reference and reference schematics available
- Volume Procurement: Competitive pricing tiers for 1K+ unit orders — ask your rep for details
- Supply Continuity: Buffer stock program for production-critical components
Market Availability & Lead Time Outlook
Current supply conditions for Microcontroller from TI: extended lead times of 20–30 weeks expected for high-demand variants. ODK maintains buffer inventory for select critical part numbers — contact us for real-time stock check.
Sourcing TI Microcontroller Parts Through ODK
ODK Electronics keeps inventory on a broad range of TI Microcontroller components. That includes standard production parts, selected EOL items still in circulation, and a few specialty grades that larger distributors don't prioritize.
We ship globally. Turnaround from quote to delivery is typically 5–12 business days for in-stock items. If you're working with a BOM that has a few hard-to-source items on it, that's exactly the kind of thing we handle well. Send us a list.
ODK at a Glance
- Authorized supply chain — full lot traceability on every shipment (this matters more than it sounds)
- Competitive pricing — especially on volume orders and hard-to-find parts
- Global delivery — typically 5–12 business days for in-stock items
- BOM kitting — we'll source the whole list, not just the easy parts
- EOL management — last-time-buy support and alternative recommendations
