An atomic parts library for KiCad providing visually consistent electronic component symbols with 1-to-1 footprint assignments and Digi-Key part metadata. It is officially unmaintained, with the original contributors no longer able to update it.
Use cases
- find KiCad symbols with pre-assigned footprints for Digi-Key parts
- build a bill of materials with orderable part numbers in KiCad
- get datasheet links and part status embedded in schematic symbols
- augment KiCad's default library with consistent component symbols
- download footprints for common electronic components
When to choose
- you use KiCad 5.x and want symbol-to-footprint 1-to-1 mapping with Digi-Key metadata
- you need orderable part numbers ready for BOM generation
- you prefer Digi-Key's family taxonomy for organizing parts
When to avoid
- you need KiCad 6.0+ compatibility or ongoing updates
- you need capacitors or resistors, which are excluded
- you want a maintained library with active support
