JLCPCB-Kicad-Library

A set of symbol Libararies and a set of footprints and 3d models of the basic components from JLCPCB smt assembly

Made using JLC2KiCadLib with manual touch ups.

Features

• Supports JLCPCB Tools Plugin
• Contains every basic resistor and capacitor value
• Contains 3d models for 95%+ of the footprints
• Datasheet Links
• Kicad 7 Support

Notes

• Even though I have tested this libary, be careful and always check the output footprint and symbol.
• If you feel that an important feature is missing, please open an issue to discuss it, then you can fork this project with a new branch before submitting a PR.
