✨ Highlights

  • 48 symbol libraries and 52 footprint libraries, from passives and connectors to gate drivers, GaN power stages and C2000 microcontrollers.
  • 3D STEP models for the footprints, linked through a single ${METUPOWERLAB_3D} path.
  • Ready to use parts: datasheet, description, manufacturer and distributor numbers are filled in, and key ratings are shown on the symbol.
  • Checked on every change: each pull request runs the lab’s standards checker and is opened in KiCad 10 before it is merged.

[!IMPORTANT] KiCad 10.0 or newer is required (since version 2.0.0). Some libraries are saved in the KiCad 10 file format and cannot be opened by KiCad 9. KiCad 9 users can keep using version 1.0.0: install PowerLabKiCadLibrariesKiCAD9.zip instead.

📦 Installation

The libraries are installed as a package with KiCad’s **Plugin…
