How It Works
Search once. We keep searching for you.
3E Technology combines nearly 40 years of sourcing data, supplier-submitted catalogs, and AI-assisted research to connect you with suppliers of electronic, industrial, mechanical, and hard-to-find parts worldwide.
Search
One search box queries categories, parts, brands, and companies simultaneously. No filters to configure.

AI Enrichment
When you search, our AI research system activates. It scours the web for additional suppliers, verifies their information, and submits them for quality review.

Every time a new supplier is found for your search — whether it's hours, days, or months later — we email you. Your search never expires.
Three sources. One search.

AI-Powered Discovery
When you search, our AI-assisted research system conducts deep research across industry databases, supplier networks, and the open web — verifying companies, cross-referencing parts, and validating contact information before adding them to results.
We’ll let you know.
When our research finds new sources relevant to your search — whether that’s hours later or a year later — we send you an email with what we found. No spam, no newsletters — just results.

Common questions
How does 3E Technology find new parts sources?
Our AI-assisted research system runs continuously — discovering new manufacturers, distributors, and brokers across the web. Combined with nearly 40 years of sourcing data and catalogs submitted directly by suppliers, every search draws from a database that's growing every day.
How long does it take to find new sources?
Existing database matches appear instantly. New sources from active research typically start arriving within hours. But your search keeps working indefinitely — our system never stops looking. A new supplier found six months from now? We'll email you then too.
Do I need a subscription to get notified?
No. Any registered user receives notifications when new suppliers are found for their searches. All users get 5 free unlocks per month. Beyond that, credit packs start at $19, or subscribe for unlimited unlocks at $49/mo.
Can I search by category or keyword instead of a specific part number?
Yes. You can search for categories like "power supplies," "MIL-spec connectors," or "industrial sensors" — not just specific part numbers or company names. Our research system will find suppliers that match your search and notify you when new ones are discovered.
Is the data verified?
Supplier submissions and research-sourced data are reviewed before publication. When our research system finds updated information for an existing company, we update the record. Our database spans nearly 40 years of active sourcing and is continuously maintained.
