KARLSRUHE, GERMANY – A comprehensive set of passive components from Würth Elektronik is available for Altium Designer 10 through the recently launched AltiumLive portal.

Designers have access to eight new libraries, comprising more than 1,500 passive components. Würth Elektronik’s inventory will be kept up to date within the Altium vaults. All components in the firm’s libraries include the schematic symbol, the PCB footprint, and a detailed 3D model for 3D mechanical integration during PCB design.

The libraries will be available through Altium’s Hobart Vault, a managed library repository of ready-to-use design components. The library suite provides a choice of eight families of passive components: EMC ferrites; filter inductors; common mode line filters; common mode power line chokes; SMD power chokes; THT power chokes; double chokes, and SMD high current chokes.

The first two libraries to be released into the Hobart Vault are the EMC ferrite and filter inductor families, with additional families to follow on a weekly basis.
