A KiCad plugin that generates all files needed for JLCPCB board fabrication and assembly, including Gerber, Excellon, BOM, and CPL files. It also lets users search the JLCPCB parts database and assign LCSC part numbers directly to footprints from within KiCad.
Use cases
- generate BOM and CPL files for JLCPCB assembly
- assign LCSC part numbers to footprints in KiCad
- search the JLCPCB parts database from within KiCad
- export Gerber and Excellon files for JLCPCB fabrication
- look up datasheets for JLCPCB parts
- prepare a PCB design for JLCPCB assembly service
When to choose
- you use KiCad v7, v8, or v9 and order boards from JLCPCB
- you want to streamline LCSC part selection and BOM/CPL generation
- you need datasheet lookup and parts database search inside KiCad
When to avoid
- you use a different EDA tool than KiCad
- you order from a manufacturer other than JLCPCB
- you use a Flatpak KiCad install and cannot install pip/requests
