Mouser adds new ECAD functionalities to website

1 min read

Mouser Electronics has added a number of new features to the ECAD resources on its product detail pages on its website, Mouser.com.

Mouser, together with SamaSys, a leader in electronic component library solutions, provides customers with an array of design resources including PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and 3D models for more than 1.1 million components. These resources, available at no charge to Mouser customers, work seamlessly with a range of leading engineering CAD systems, including Cadence and Altium.

The ECAD models are now displayed as a parameter in Mouser’s search page so that engineers can see at a glance if the parts in their searches include an ECAD model availability. Additionally, engineers can click the model icon to open a preview of the ECAD model, allowing them to review the package and symbol prior to purchasing the part and downloading the model. SamacSys supports all of Mouser's new product introductions, offering engineers access to a current, high-quality library of PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and 3D models for the newest available components.

Finding PCB footprints, schematic symbols and 3D models and incorporating them can be a tedious process, so Mouser and SamacSys have sought to ease the design phase by offering accessible, high-quality PCB library content, for every component and every engineer. The goal is to speed time to market with seamless integration into engineers’ existing PCB design tools.

A global leader in component library solutions, SamacSys has over 100,000 users in more than 180 countries; its customers range from individual makers to professional engineers to international brands.

Mouser’s partnership with SamacSys complements the technical support, services, tools and resources that Mouser provides for more than 630,000 customers worldwide.
