Importing from Ultra Librarian

Overview

You can download schematic symbols and PCB footprints from Ultra Librarian and import the KiCad files directly into tscircuit.

Downloading from Ultra Librarian

1. Visit Ultra Librarian.
2. Search for the manufacturer part number.
3. Select the footprint variant you need.
4. Click Download Now.
5. Sign in or create an Ultra Librarian account when prompted.
6. Choose the KiCad v5 or KiCad v6+ format.
7. Download and extract the ZIP file.

The extracted files include:

• the .kicad_mod file for the PCB footprint
• the .kicad_sym file for the schematic symbol

Importing Ultra Librarian Components

Copy both files into your tscircuit project. Import them and pass them to the footprint and symbol props of a <chip />:

import kicadSym from "./symbol.kicad_sym"
import kicadMod from "./footprint.kicad_mod"

export default () => {
  return (
    <board>
      <chip
        name="U1"
        footprint={kicadMod}
        symbol={kicadSym}
      />
    </board>
  )
}

The .kicad_mod file provides the PCB footprint, while the .kicad_sym file provides the schematic symbol.
