Missing product manuals are a common issue; a lot of people misplace the product manuals for many items they purchase, not realizing their importance until something goes wrong and they need them. A while ago, we covered ManualsLib – a massive online repository of product manuals for all kinds of electronics, gadgets and other stuff, complete with the ability to quickly find and download them as PDF file. DatasheetLib is another similar web app that houses a huge library of datasheets and lets you view them online or download them in PDF format. For the uninitiated, a datasheet is basically a document that contains technical summary related to machine, electronic or component’s specifications. The website aims to help you find datasheets of various items without much hassle.



DatasheetLib boasts a simple and sleek interface, with brand logos of popular manufacturing firms shown prominently for quick access, including Texas Instruments, Omron, Maxim, Analog Devices and more. From the right sidebar, you can swiftly browse datasheets of top products. In addition, you can browse the complete list of datasheet alphabetically through the Manufacturers Index, or use the search feature to find the one you’re looking for. All you need to do is type in the required item’s name, and DatasheetLib will immediately start displaying relevant suggestions as you type.



While the suggestions can be quite helpful, if they don’t include the item you’re looking for, simply hit Enter to move to the complete results page. For instance, if your query is on a product from Sony, DatasheetsLib will display all items found under the Sony brand. It also displays the total number of results returned for your query. You can view details and thumbnails for all of them, and click your desired result to jump to its full view.



As stated earlier in the post, each datasheet can either be read online or downloaded to your system as a PDF document. Furthermore, you leave a comment related to the datasheet, as well as share it over social media. The online preview looks fairly intuitive and handles everything well in a distraction-free environment. You can click thumbnails to switch between pages, and perform further search within the current document using the search box. This can come in handy in case you want to find a certain phrase or term within the required item. Lastly, the app also displays a list of related datasheets at the bottom.

We all know that datasheets can be quite hard to grab, as there are millions of different products out there. DatasheetLib makes this task tenfold easier, and does it all for free!
