Footprints

JLCPCB Footprints

tscircuit can load PCB footprints directly from JLCPCB/EasyEDA part records. Any element that accepts a footprint property can reference a JLCPCB part by using the jlcpcb: prefix followed by the supplier part number.

Basic Usage​

export default () => (
<board width="20mm" height="20mm">
  <chip
    name="U1"
    manufacturerPartNumber="RP2040"
    footprint="jlcpcb:C2040"
  />
</board>
)
PCB Circuit Preview

The recommended format is jlcpcb:C<part-number>, for example jlcpcb:C2040.

For example, the RP2040 can be referenced directly with:

<chip name="U1" manufacturerPartNumber="RP2040" footprint="jlcpcb:C2040" />

What Gets Loaded​

When you use a jlcpcb: footprint string, tscircuit fetches the part's PCB footprint data from the configured parts engine. In the default platform, this uses the JLCPCB/EasyEDA part catalog and can also attach 3D model data when it is available.

Use this when you only need the PCB footprint (and optional 3D model). If you also need a generated symbol, port definitions, or a reusable TSX component, use Importing from JLCPCB instead.

Search for Part Numbers​

You can discover valid JLCPCB part numbers with:

tsci search --jlcpcb RP2040

Search results now include qualified footprint strings like jlcpcb:C2040, which can be copied directly into your footprint prop.
