Open Component Library

Every symbol, footprint and 3D model I create for my projects is published open-source. Use them in your own designs — commercial or personal.

KiCad Libraries

The repository contains three folders per KiCad conventions:

  • symbols/ — .kicad_sym schematic symbol libraries
  • footprints/ — .kicad_mod footprint libraries (as .pretty folders)
  • 3dmodels/ — STEP and WRL 3D models

Installation

  1. Clone or download the repository:
    git clone https://github.com/pcblibya/pcblibya-library.git
  2. In KiCad, go to Preferences → Manage Symbol Libraries… and add the .kicad_sym files (global or project scope).
  3. Go to Preferences → Manage Footprint Libraries… and add the .pretty folders.
  4. Optionally set the PCBLIBYA_3D path variable to the 3dmodels/ folder so footprints find their 3D models.

Altium Libraries

For Altium Designer users the same components are provided as compiled libraries:

  • .SchLib — schematic symbol libraries
  • .PcbLib — PCB footprint libraries

Installation

  1. Download or clone the repository from GitHub.
  2. In Altium Designer, open the Components panel → menu → File-based Libraries…
  3. Click Install and select the .SchLib and .PcbLib files.
