SAN FRANCISCO — SnapEDA’s website now has over 75,000 new Panasonic CAD models.

These CAD models allow engineers to make custom products with Panasonic’s electronics components. The models include schematic symbols and PCB footprints for electronics design, as well as 3-D mechanical models to ensure proper mechanical clearances and design visualization. In addition to the CAD models, engineers can see a real-time report generated by SnapEDA’s verification technology.

The new CAD models cover Panasonic’s radial and surface mount resistors, capacitors and inductors. They are compatible with all major electronics and mechanical design tools.

“Panasonic strives to provide the highest quality products to their customers, and these new CAD models are no exception,” said Natasha Baker, founder and CEO, SnapEDA. “Our new collaboration brings thousands of new high-quality CAD models to engineers, streamlining their design process and enabling them to move to scale faster and more reliably with Panasonic components.”

“Panasonic is proud to support its customers with CAD models through SnapEDA’s global design community. In mere weeks, SnapEDA created and verified over 75,000 CAD models, and their rapid support made the process seamless,” said Tetsuya Fukuzawa, director, Panasonic Industrial Solutions.

The new CAD models are available free and are based on IPC-7351B, IEEE-315, and SnapEDA’s standards. They can be downloaded at www.snapeda.com.

Over 15 PCB design formats are supported, including Altium, KiCad, Autodesk Eagle and Fusion360, Cadence OrCAD and Allegro, Mentor PADS, DesignSpark, Pulsonix, DipTrace, Proteus and more.
