Accessing ECAD Models via TTI's PCB Part Libraries

To access ECAD models on TTI's website, search for your part, click the ECAD Model icon, and use the Library Loader link. Download and install the Library Loader from the provided MSI file. Register and configure the Library Loader for your specific ECAD tool, following any required one-time ECAD setup. Return to the TTI website and download the desired ECAD model, which includes the PCB footprint and 3D data.

For new parts without existing models, utilize TTI's free online builder or request a custom model. The online builder guides you through package selection, pin count, part category, datasheet integration, mechanical information, and electrical pin data entry, concluding with a quality check and download. Alternatively, submit a request for TTI's team to create the model. For detailed setup instructions, access the Library Loader's help section and select your ECAD tool.
