Top quality components for a top quality design

creating components for your electronics schematic and PCB layout takes time, and lots of libraries are available on internet sites such as SnapEDA, SamacSys or are provided by their vendors.

Those component libraries can get you jumpstarted, but if you want to reach a higher quality in your design, you will need to create the components yourself.

Here are the main problems with the free libraries:

• the symbols are not suitable for an easy to read schematic
• the footprints are missing a 3D model
• the pin-types are generic because component can be used in several ways
• the footprint layout uses settings for different manufacturers
• the symbol has dirty data in its fields and is missing the fields you need
• the footprint has dirty data in its fields and is missing the fields you need
