Natasha joins us to discuss the origin of SnapEDA, its free automated part builder, Instabuild, and what transparency means to engineering. SnapEDA is, the world’s first electronics design search engine, currently serves more than a million professional engineers, and supports the development of more than 400,000 unique hardware products every year. These are the steps to place your parts or add parts to a library in Altium Designer.

Compatible with Eagle, Altium, Cadence OrCad & Allegro, KiCad, & more. Make sure that your Altium software is connected to your Tools tab. For Altium theres different ways to use and insert component libraries from the single model files and the containers or the database linked to components or integrated libraries, as I said before.

Ready-to-use building blocks can be downloaded from their website or plugins. And this may not change soon as even major industry companies use the popular term footprint, including us at SnapEDA. They help over half a million hardware designers build products faster each year. At SnapEDA, you can search for the schematic symbols and PCB footprints of millions of major components. As its name suggests, it believes that engineers will no longer have to create their own libraries in the future. Natasha is an electrical engineer with fourteen years of experience who founded SnapEDA after seeing a need for a ‘Google of electronics components’. SnapEDA is a free library of symbols & footprints for the M85049/60-1W18 by TE Connectivity and for millions of electronic components. SnapEDA is the Internet’s first & leading electronics design library. SnapEDA SnapEDA is a website similar to Ultra Librarian. OnTrack welcomes Natasha Baker, CEO of SnapEDA.
