SAN FRANCISCO – A new collaboration will augment the DesignSpark website with the SnapEDA search engine, allowing engineers to discover and design-in millions of electronic components through free computer-aided design models that are compatible with nearly all major PCB design tools.

The new SnapEDA search experience on the DesignSpark website allows engineers to search and design-in electronic components. Engineers can search for keywords to discover new components or enter a specific part number. Once they’ve selected a product, they can download the CAD model instantly.

“Since launching DesignSpark 11 years ago, RS Components has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the engineering community through tools and resources,” said Natasha Baker, founder and CEO of SnapEDA. “This commitment resonates with us here at SnapEDA, where we have similarly been unwaveringly committed to helping engineers design faster with free, innovative design tools and resources we’ve brought to the market. We’re thrilled to support the engineering community together with this new SnapEDA integration on the DesignSpark website.”

Powered by SnapEDA’s verification technology, the integration includes datasheets and other specifications provided by RS Components, as well as the ability to check prices and purchase components.

Supported PCB design formats include DesignSpark PCB, Altium, KiCad, Fusion360, Cadence Allegro, OrCAD, EAGLE, Pulsonix, DipTrace, Proteus, ExpressPCB Plus, CircuitStudio, PADS, PCB123, Target 3001!, and P-CAD.
