Who We Are

PCB Libraries is a culmination of decades of work, first started in 2003 with the bold vision of developing a “One World Standard PCB Footprint”. CAD library solutions developed by PCB Libraries has been used by over one hundred thousand PCB designers and engineers world-wide. The latest and greatest "PCB Footprint Expert" is designed to eliminate a vast amount duplication of effort wasted by - footprints and 3D models.

Our goal is to offer the highest quality and most affordable PCB design solutions available, at the lowest cost possible. Just check us out, and you will find (like so many others already have), there is no better library automation option!

PCB Libraries uses unrivaled CAD LEAP^TM Technology (Libraries Enhanced with Automated Preferences) that automates Library development and management like none else.

The Footprint Expert uses the following standards / guidelines by default, however these and dozens of other options may be easily configured to build entire libraries to your own CUSTOM requirements! Any parts previously built/saved in the Footprint Expert neutral format can be rebuilt to any CAD format, with any modified setting.

• IPC-7352 - Mathematical model for pad stack calculation
• IPC J-STD-001 - Solder joint goals for Toe, Heel and Side
• IEC_61188-7 - Zero Component Orientation
• FED Vol 18 - Proportional Land Dimensioning Concept

The Footprint Expert supports the following five (5) Footprint Naming Conventions:

1. IPC-7351B
2. IPC-7352
3. PCB Libraries (IPC-7351C)
4. MfrName_MfrCaseCode (Non-standard Packages)
5. Your Custom Footprint Name
