What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

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
