FlashPCB Library for KiCad

FlashPCB is a fast, affordable, and hassle-free AI powered PCB assembly service. We developed this library to provide you with a high-quality, comprehensive selection of footprints and symbols that you can use in your designs.

Overview

This library of components is designed for use with the KiCad software. It contains components across a broad spectrum of categories:

  • Capacitors
  • CircuitProtection
  • Connectors
  • DevBoards
  • Diodes
  • Hardware
  • ICs
  • Inductors
  • Misc
  • Oscillators
  • Resistors
  • Sensors
  • Switches
  • Transistors

Reasons to use the FlashPCB Library

Our PCB manufacturing process is optimized to work from these footprints and using these footprints is the only way for us to manufacture your board with the parts you want.

That being said you are free to use this library in any design, even if you do not intend to use our service.

How to use this library

Download the library

Clone this repo using your favorite git client or download the zip file containing the library.

Update KiCad to recognize this library

Our blogpost explains our suggested method for importing the FlashPCB Libraries in KiCad.

Use these components in your KiCad PCB design

Specify your parameters in the value text for the components that you use. You can write something like 22k 1% if you're placing a resistor or by specifying a manufacturer's part number.

Order your assembled board from FlashPCB

Upload your board here to get your board manufactured with us.

Requesting additions to the library

Feel free to create an issue in GitHub if you would like to request specific components added to our library. Additionally you can reach out to us via our site's contact page.

Do you use a different CAD software?

We are working on supporting more CAD programs in the future. Check back here later for links to our other libraries.
