The easy way to get PCB symbols, footprints & 3D models

SamacSys and Mouser have developed a FREE, easy, click & drop solution for schematic symbols, PCB footprints and 3D models for millions of parts. It also integrates on install into all major ECAD tools.

Install Library Loader

Overview of Library Loader

Step-by-step instructions to set up Mouser's Library Loader:

  1. Install Library Loader - The PCB Part Libraries require FREE Library Loader software to convert them into your ECAD tool format.
  2. Run the Library Loader from its desktop shortcut. Library Loader Icon
  3. Open your ECAD tool. The libraries will already be loaded automatically.
  4. When browsing Mouser's parts, simply click the component ECAD Model symbol from the Mouser site and drop it into your design. Once selected, the schematic symbols, PCB footprints and 3D models are immediately available for use and placement.
  5. If a part doesn't have a symbol or footprint when clicking on the icon to download, you can build one or request a part. To build, simply use the wizard from SamacSys to create both the schematic symbol and PCB footprint. To request a part, fill in the required information, including your email, and SamacSys will contact you once their engineering team has completed the build.
