PCB Footprints
Consolidate all your PcbLibs into a single, organised library. With fast search, tags, and advanced editing and organisation tools, every footprint your team owns can finally be as tidy as your wildest dreams. Click any of the real parts below to open it in the viewer.
Featured footprints from the amazing Celestial Altium Library by Issus.
Pads
Pad table
Pad feature extraction lets you review a footprint without opening Altium Designer, with instant search by pad number and by mount type, SMD or THT.
| Pad | Shape | Layer | Size (mils) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rectangle | Top Layer | 31.5 × 11.8 |
| 2 | Rectangle | Top Layer | 31.5 × 11.8 |
| 3 | Rectangle | Top Layer | 31.5 × 11.8 |
| ⋯ pads 4 to 39 ⋯ | |||
| 40 | Rectangle | Top Layer | 11.8 × 31.5 |
| 41 | Rectangle | Top Layer | 181.1 × 181.1 |
The through-hole case, for contrast: CAP AL TH D10 L5 H22, two plated circles on Multi-Layer, 31.5 mil holes → THT, height 866.1 mil carried.
3D
Full 3D model support
Sideband has the best support in the industry for 3D models, with a modern GPU-accelerated viewer and advanced features including metadata extraction such as height, standoff height, rotation and translation.
Inspection
Your data, open for you to build on
Everything Sideband extracts from your PCB libraries is yours to inspect and reuse. The full parsed PcbLib sits on the Inspection tab as JSON, down to pad coordinates in mils, and the same data is available over the API, so you can extend the functionality of the app on top of it.
We don't keep your data hostage, and we don't limit what you can do with it on our platform.
