Future Electronics adds ECAD functionality to its website

Thanks to SamacSys, a supplier of electronic component library solutions, the availability of ECAD models falls in line with Future Electronics’ Shape the Future initiative for engineers, giving them free access to ECAD models from the distributor’s extensive available-to-sell inventory of electronic components.

The new website feature helps engineers accelerate their designs, reduce time to market and avoid the potential hassle of having to search for PCB footprints, schematics and 3D models.

To download a footprint, schematic symbol or 3D model from FutureElectronics.com, users can click the green icon available on product pages, or when viewing a list of product results. A dialog box will open, giving engineers instant access to download the ECAD model, symbol or footprint of their desired part ready to insert into the many CAD design tools compatible with the SamacSys library.
