Digi-Key Electronics announces the addition of symbols, footprints, and 3D models for Vishay’s catalog of optoelectronics products.
The models, made available via online parts library SnapEDA, can be downloaded for free for most major PCB design tools.
Designers spend days creating digital models for each component in their circuit board designs. With this new collaboration, designers can simply drag-and-drop high-quality, auto-verified models into their designs, saving them days of time.
Products supported with this release include a wide variety of Vishay’s optical sensors, optocouplers, solid-state relays, and MOSFET drivers.
Vishay’s optoelectronics portfolio provides a one-stop-shop for all optical sensor and isolation solutions. These include both analog and digital isolation products, providing isolation for electrical safety as well as improved performance for manifold applications. Vishay’s SSRs (Solid State Relays) take relay controls into the 21st Century, with solid state performance and reliability. Vishay optical sensor portfolio includes proximity sensors, ambient light sensors, RGB and UV sensors that are used in smartphones, wearables, automotive, and various IoT applications.
The CAD models can be accessed from select Vishay product pages on http://www.digikey.com, as well as within SnapEDA’s parts library at http://www.snapeda.com. Supported formats include Altium, Eagle, OrCad, Allegro, PADS, DXDesigner & KiCad. The footprints were created to IPC-7351B standards, and are auto-verified using SnapEDA’s proprietary automated verification technology.
