Hardwaredetaljer

Hardwaredetaljer is a term used in Nordic languages to describe the individual parts and specifications that make up a piece of hardware. It covers both the physical components required to assemble a device and the data that describes those components. In practice, hardwaredetaljer include mechanical fasteners such as screws, nuts, bolts, washers, hinges, and brackets; electronic components such as connectors, circuit boards, enclosures, and cooling elements; and the accompanying metadata like materials, surface finishes, tolerances, and dimensions.

In engineering and manufacturing, hardwaredetaljer are typically identified in a bill of materials (BOM) and referenced in technical drawings. Each item has a part number, description, supplier information, and procurement details. Clear specification of hardwaredetaljer is essential for compatibility, safety, and performance, and it helps coordinate design, procurement, and production.

In documentation and catalogs, hardwaredetaljer are organized to aid selection and replacement, often grouped by function (fasteners, fittings, housings, connectors) or by standards (metric sizes, industry specifications). The term is common in translations from English to Nordic languages, where "hardware" may be rendered as a general category or as "mekaniska komponenter" or "fästdetaljer" depending on context.
