How To Import Libraries and Manage Components With Altium 365

Created: November 23, 2022
Updated: July 1, 2024

Nothing causes more worries for a designer than the PCB components. Your mind probably starts racing whenever you send out a design for fabrication and assembly, and phone calls start coming in.

What did I forget?

Did I use all of the correct components?

Did I make a mistake that's going to cost the company?

Can we meet the deadline to get the design respinned?

Why can't I get this right?

The problems you can experience with components and libraries are endless. These problems are the most significant source of design issues and the biggest reason behind respins, costing companies untold amounts of lost profit annually.

The opposite occurs when you have excellent components that are "correct" with their information and models and are managed and stored in a well-organized library where you can easily find them. In such a scenario, components can change without creating problems. Naturally, every designer desires a library like that. You can start building that kind of library today by following a few simple steps, which you will learn at a special Altium presentation hosted on The Component Library and Altium 365. If you want to have a better understanding of how to use Altium 365 to maintain a strong and centralized library that is free of problems and headaches, you may want to consider attending this lecture

During this special webinar, you will learn the following:

Library structure for today's complex PCB designs
The anatomy of PCB components
How to create new and correct components and get them right the first time
How to successfully manage the components
How to consolidate multiple libraries into Altium 365 using the Library Importer
How to proactively combat component shortages using Altium 365 and the Manufacturing Part Search
How to make use of the Manufacturing Part Search
How to protect design integrity
How to solve library Issues quickly and maintain the highest quality using the Library Health Monitor

How to Design an AC to DC Converter Circuit in Altium Designer An AC-to-DC converter circuit does exactly as its name implies: it takes a harmonic AC input and converts it to a DC output. These circuits are simply from a high level and when operating at low power on a breadboard, but a real AC to DC converter circuit is more complex than just a transformer and rectifier circuit. Finding the right components for these circuits and running accurate power simulations takes the right PCB design software that Read Article

Manually Creating Component Footprint

4 Steps on How to Create a Component Footprint in Altium Designer When laying out your printed circuit board, it is critical that you know how to create footprint for your design components. Some components are quite common or they come in standardized packages, making footprints easy to find. In some cases, footprint generation may need to be done by yourself, and you’ll need to use information directly from the component’s datasheet. If the footprint is incorrect, the part pins may not align with PCB pads or Read Article
