The Celestial Altium Library is a free, open-source database library (DBLib) for Altium Designer containing over 200,000 high-quality electronic components with accurate footprints, schematic symbols, and full 3D models. The component database is cloud-hosted while symbols and footprints are hosted on GitHub, and it is actively maintained by Altium industry expert Mark Harris.

Use cases

• find schematic symbols and footprints for electronic components
• get 3D models for PCB design in Altium
• build a bill of materials with real supplier parts
• avoid drawing footprints for capacitors, resistors, and connectors
• speed up PCB prototyping with production-ready parts
• search components with parametric filtering in Altium Designer
• populate pick-and-place data with correct component centers

When to choose

• you use Altium Designer and need a large, free component library
• you want production-tested footprints matching manufacturer land patterns
• you need real part numbers in your BOM instead of generic symbols
• you want 3D models for board previews and mechanical checks

When to avoid

• you use EDA tools other than Altium Designer (e.g., KiCad, Eagle)
• you need fully offline components without cloud database access
• your organization blocks MSSQL port 1433 and you cannot install the required SQL native client drivers
