RS Components extends global franchise with ST. “Our new partnership with SnapEDA solves this problem by adding free, drop-in CAD models to our free-to-use DesignSpark platform.”īesides DesignSpark, supported CAD formats include Altium, KiCad, Fusion360, Cadence Allegro, OrCAD, Eagle, Pulsonix, DipTrace, Proteus, ExpressPCB Plus, CircuitStudio, PADS, PCB123, Target 3001! and P-CAD. “Part selection and design-in can be major bottlenecks in the electronic design process, because engineers have to source digital models for each component,” said Carol North, Senior Digital Development Manager, RS Components. We’re thrilled to support the engineering community together, with this new SnapEDA integration on the DesignSpark website.” “This commitment resonates with us here at SnapEDA, where we have similarly been unwaveringly committed to helping engineers design faster with free, innovative design tools and resources we’ve brought to the market. “Since launching DesignSpark 11 years ago, RS Components has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the engineering community through free tools and resources,” said Natasha Baker, Founder and CEO of SnapEDA.
Datasheets, full specifications, price checks and component sales are available through RS.
CAD models are downloaded for free and can be imported directly into DesignSpark or virtually any other major PCB CAD tool. The SnapEDA online component library on DesignSpark is searchable by entering either a known part number or one or more keywords.
DesignSpark is a suite of free-to-use rapid PCB prototyping tools offering schematics unlimited in number and size, unlimited layers, nodes, pads and connections, integration with RS parts libraries, a library editor to create custom libraries, and integration with free DesignSpark mechanical and electrical CAD systems.
