typeCAD Passives

This is a typeCAD package that includes simple access to many passive components.

Resistors, capacitors, LEDs, diodes, fuses, and inductors

This package uses an options interface. All options are optional. They can also be accessed and modified later in code.

  let led = new LED({ reference: "D2", datasheet: "link/to/datasheet", description: "High brightness LED", voltage: "100 V", mpn: "123456", simulation: "simulation/model", uuid: "unique-id", pcb: "pcb/layout" });

Example Usage

import { Schematic } from '@typecad/typecad'
import { Resistor, LED, Capacitor, Diode, Inductor, Fuse } from '@typecad/passives/0805'
import  *  as _0603 from '@typecad/passives/0603'

let typecad = new Schematic('passives');

let resistor = new Resistor({ reference: "R1", value: "4.7 kOhm" });
let capacitor = new Capacitor({value: "100 nF", voltage: "6 V"});
let diode = new Diode();
let inductor = new Inductor({ value: "2.2 uH"});
let fuse = new Fuse({ reference: "F1" });
let led = new _0603.LED();      // a 0603 instead of 0805

typecad.create(resistor, led, capacitor, inductor, diode, fuse);

All of the sizes are:

• @typecad/passives/1210
• @typecad/passives/1206
• @typecad/passives/0805
• @typecad/passives/0603
• @typecad/passives/0402
• @typecad/passives/0201 no fuses

Auto designation

If { reference } is not included, the component will be auto-numbered. If there are any name collisions, the new name will be suffixed with a _1, ie R1_1.

Connectors

Connectors can be created similarly.

import { Connector } from '@typecad/passives/connector'

// create a 10-pin connector using the JST footprint passed in the last parameter
let j1 = new Connector({ number: 10, footprint:"Connector_JST:JST_SH_SM10B-SRSS-TB_1x10-1MP_P1.00mm_Horizontal" });
// create a 5-pin connector using a default 2.54 mm pin-header
let j2 = new Connector({ number: 5 });

Testpoints

Testpoints can be created:

import { Testpoint } from '@typecad/passives/testpoint';
let tp = new Testpoint();

Will create a testpoint with a default footprint of TestPoint:TestPoint_Pad_D1.0mm.

Specific footprints can be chosen:

let tp = new Testpoint({ footprint: 'TestPoint:TestPoint_Keystone_5015_Micro_Mini'});

Connect a testpoint using tp.pin(1) in the ::net() method.
